Footsteps at Boston 3 has blown my mind. This song has some of Eddie's best lyrics.

don't even think about reachin' me, i won't be home
don't even think about stoppin' by, don't think of me at all
i did, what i had to do, if there was a reason, it was you...
aah...don't even think about gettin' inside
voices in me head...ooh, voices
i got scratches, all over my arms
one for each day, since i fell apart
i did...oh, what i had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you...
hey...i did, what i had to do...oh, and if there was a reason
oh, there wasn't no reason, no
and if, there's something you'd like to do
just let me continue, to blame you
footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
pictures on my chest, it was you, you...oh...

    Don't let me know we're invisible
    Don't let me know we're invisible
    We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire

    This is my fave PJ song... and the version on Boston 3 is unbelievable... just phenomenal!
    "...to love some silly piece of music... or some band so much that it hurts"

    Don't mean to be rude... but somehow I thought the Bos 3 version of Footsteps Ed changed the usual lyrics at the end... but I can't decipher them to make sense..... I actually was thinking of posting the question.... to see if anyone got them...

    Or am I wrong?

    Don't let me know we're invisible

    Footsteps boston 3 was great and I was there to see and hear it all.

    But IMHO I still feel Bridge School 10/99 is the best.
