Such raw emotion and feeling in this one. Perfection!
i'm gonna save you fucker, not gonna lose you
i'm feeling cocky and strong, can't let you go
too important to me, and too important to us
we'd be lost without you
i'm there, let yourself fall, i'm right below you now
".....this land is mine, this land is free
i'll do what i want, but irresponsibly
it's evolution baby...."
routine was the theme, he'd wake up and...wash and pour himself into uniform
something he hadn't imagined being...
as the merging traffic passed, he found himself staring, down, at his own hands..
not remembering the change, not recalling the plan, was it...?

"This is a public service annowncement... with guitars!!"
you know love
is better than a song
and love is were, all of us belong---- so dont be shy, just let your feelings roll pn by and dont wear fear, cause nobody will no your there.
Don't be so quick to judge, you're being judged yourself.

Don't be so quick to judge, you're being judged yourself.
the verses in given to fly are really well written but someone mentioned them earlier so i will quote my second favourite song lyrically:
"i will hold the candle til it burns up my arm
i'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
i won't change direction and i won't change my mind"
"Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down, you down, you down "
How about:
"who made, who made up, made up the myth
that we were born to be covered in bliss?
who set the standard, born to be rich?
such fine examples, skinny little bitch
model, role model, roll some models in blood
get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
i shit and i stink, i'm real, join the club
i'd stop and talk, but i'm already in love"
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”
Never shook Satan's hand look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had that shit don't come off
I rise and fall let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick
Again you'd see it you know, right 'round the lips
I'll wait for an angel but won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm doin' OK...
I remember when, yeah
I swore I knew everything, ooh yeah
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
It's growin' up just like me, yeah...
'Don't even think about reaching me...I won't be home.
Don't even think about stopping by...don't think of me at all.
I did what I had to do...
If there was a reason, it was you.
Don't even think about getting inside...
Voices in my head...
I got scratches all over my arms...
One for each day since I fell apart.'
--Footsteps
'The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess.'
--Corduroy
'Hail, hail the lucky ones...I refer to those in love.'
--Hail,Hail
'If I only knew now what I knew then.'
--I'm Open
'She said to me...over the phone,
she wanted to see other people.
I thought, "Well then...look around, they're everywhere."
Said that she was confused...
I thought, "Darlin' join the club."
24 years old, mid-life crisis...
nowadays hits you when you're young.
At least it happened quick.
I swear I died inside that night.'
--I'm Still Here
'I pledge my grievance to the flag,
'cause you don't give blood then take it back again...
I will feel alive as long as I am free!'
--Grievance
'I'd tell a story, but no-one would listen that long...
It's hard to imagine...so hard to imagine.
Things were different then...all is different now...
I tried to explain, somehow.'
--Hard To Imagine
I think that's enough for now...don't wanna monopolize a wonderful thread...:D
"And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away...
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I'll be... " (black)
"And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And fuck if you only hear what you wanna hear
Fuck me if I care,... but I'm not leaving here
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 " (save you)
And I wished for so long cannot stay All the precious moments cannot stay Its not like wings have fallen
cannot stay But still somethings missing I cannot say yea Holding hands are daughters and sons And their faiths are falling down down down down I have wished for so long How I wish for you today
lives opened and trashed...look ma, watch me crash
no time to question...why'd nothing last
grasp and hold on...we're dyin' fast
soon be over...and I will relent
let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
three days, and maybe longer
won't even know I've left
The one that really touches me "First he was stripped then he was stabbed by faceless men well fuckers, HE STILL STANDS and he still gives his love he just gives it away, the love he recieves is the love that is saved, and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly"
ya i like that one too but i dont know why but i also like when eddie says " im a thief im a liar theres my chuch i sing in the choir"
Those who dance are called insane by those who don't hear the music.-Eddie
If not for the Buzzcocks, we'd probably sound like Good Charlotte or something. No, no, it's not bad, it just sounds like... tastes like a popsicle that's been shoved up someone's ass.-Eddie
Waiting, watching the clock
It's four o'clock
It's got to stop... tell that mother fucker to get away and stay.. OK?
i love you ladies!!
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
there are so many so i'd thought i'd go with something recent
light green to green, dark green, brown
every life is falling down
brown to black, its coming back
dies to be part of the ground
seed to seedling, root to stem
eyes, no eyes, there's no difference
every life is looking in
swallowing seeds on my death bed
dig a hole in the garden
'The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess.'--Corduroy
'I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say...
but don't sell me there can't be better ways...
Tell the captain this boat's not safe and we're drowning...
turns out he's the one making waves.'--Green Disease
'It's not absurd to all get heard...
Put our feelings into words...
You have to reach inside...
No feelings to hide.'--Happy When I'm Crying
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...
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...
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...
i see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can
now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
she hates her life, and what she's done with it
that's one more kid, that'll never go to school
never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
I just love how it starts after the first chorus. Just awesome.
"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."

Chafe beneath the clouds
