Some off the top of my head (just too many to choose from)
- I've understood feelings and I've understood words, but how could you be taken away? ~Light Years
- He's stiffening. We're all whistling, a man we'll soon forget. ~Soon Forget
- All that's sacred comes from youth ~Not For You
- Some die just to live ~Immortality
- And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit
That has grown
~ Off He Goes
Last one is prob my favorite. Love the way Eddie sings it.
Its egg rollin thick and heavy......oh the past you carry....I could be new....you underestimate me.
I find it on the run in a race that cant be won.

And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit
That has grown
You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself?... c'mon hit me instead
Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
Cause there is but you,... and something within you
It's taken control,.. let's beat it, get up let's go!
Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world
Let's pick up your soul
"If you want a friend, feed any animal." - JA
"Don't let it get you down, you know, still give your love, just give it away...I love singin' that part." - EV
Drop the leash... Drop the Leash, Get outta my Fuckin face.
Thoughts arrive like butterflies.
Spin, Spin, Spin the black circle.
Those are the fun ones, the deep and meaningful ones i will keep for myself.
Time is short, I have an appointment and you, and you need help. Across the waste of space and fields of air I lie alone at night. Oh please, please think of me here, because I... I am by your side...[/quote]
it's "I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell" as a reference to the original poem.
I wait up in the dark..........for you to speak to me.
I'll hold the pain.........Release Mee e e e e
The emotion that drives this song(story) makes it very very real. Ed puts you there right next to him with this piece . No other artist has moved me like Ed's vocals have.
I cant believe this piece is ninteen years old!!! It seems like yesterday or something.
which way to go, windowsill
I see the words on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain --makes me think of bipolar friends who found life was not worth it anymore. They are the birds in the rain.
They don't scam, don't fight
Don't oppress an equal's given rights --cos of personal issues to do with my people and how we are compared to rats the world over, even tho "we don't compare". It's just ignorance, pure ignorance.
and from I Got ID there are 2 lines:
*So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me.
*And I stay in bed. Oh, little I've seen there. If just once I could feel loved. --just plain old loneliness.
I want to breathe/Follow the scene /I want to taste/Everyone I see
I want to breathe/Follow the scene/I want to taste/Everyone I see/I want to run when I'm up high/I want to run into the sea/I only want life.../to be.../I just want to be.../I will feel alive.../as long as I am free.
-I know someday you'll have a beautiful life. I know you'll be a star (sun) in somebody else's sky, but why, why, why can't it be mine.
-He who forgets will be destined to remember.
-A little country store with a sign tacked to the side, it said no L O I T E R I N G allowed. Beneath that sign congregated quite a crowd. (I know it's not PJ's song, but I still love their version best)
"The dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' her easy for all us sinners."

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...
And love,.... What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,
why invite it to stay?

No trade-backs...
Its such a cool line.
i think i'll throw these pills away-down
Nature as it's own religion; gospel from the land.
"The world fascinates me."
"Doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you"
Had to give Stone a shout out.

I find it on the run in a race that cant be won.

Roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they'll look like us

cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I cant see, I just stare...
I, Im still alive
This has probably already been poted but Im too lazy to read 56 pages of posts..
Triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...Tremor Christ
Some die just to live... Immortality
You're the only one who can forgive yourself, oh yeah...
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense... Present Tense
I will feel alive...as long as I am free Grievance
What a different life, Had I not found this love with you
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
