Tough call. My personal favorite is Jeremy, though Alive is a good choice. It's like picking between Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Michael Vick or Tom Brady in a "who would you have as your QB" discussion. It depends on the situation, and what you need at that given moment. (truncates message before I drift too far off topic).
I am mine and footsteps, thumbing my way really makes you think but i am mine and footsteps have got great lyrics "i got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since i fell apart"
Black simply for the Benaroya version. I still get shivers.
i like man of the hour, off he goes, nothing as it seems and probably my personal favourite, Better Man

Black...but everyone knows that I am biased. :rolleyes:

Dalai Lama—To say that humility is an essential ingredient in our pursuit of spiritual transformation may seem to be at odds with what I have said about the need for confidence. But there is clearly a distinction to be made between valid confidence or self-esteem, and conceit - which we can describe as an inflated sense of importance, grounded in a false image of self.
Other than Black (will not be matched... ever IMO)
I would say, lately, Last Exit... but I very much like I Got Shit, Bee Girl, In my tree, Nothingman...
Actually... I think almost every PJ song has great lyrics...or at least 2 out of 3...
You know I got a dozen Pj's on my mp3 at the moment, all belters,...ID,Long Road, Black (unplugged version),Smile, and others. But you know the one I keep coming back to is Corduroy, it's a stunning piece of work both musically and lyrically. It's a classic, and it's allready like 13 year sold or something. Simply wonderful words.
So I go for Corduroy.
I go back and forth with favorite songs, but this one always has an effect on me. Especially the one with Nusrat. I fucking love that version.
Long Road
And I wished for so long. Cannot stay.
All the precious moments. Cannot stay.
It's not like wings have fallen. Cannot stay.
But still something's missing. I cannot say, yeah.
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.
Will I walk the long road? (the long road)
Cannot stay.(the long road)
There's no need to say goodbye. (to say goodbye)
All the friends and family.
All the memories going round, round, round, round.
I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.
And the wind keeps roaring. And the sky keeps turning grey.
And the sun is set. The sun will rise another day.
I...I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.
I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.
Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
Will I walk the long road?
Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
Will I walk the long road?
All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.
First time posting. In fact... this thread made me finally get up and register. As you can see by my username... "Otherside", in my opinion, has, without a doubt, the best lyrics of any PJ song.

All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...
do you know anyone who doesn't like indifference?
" makes much more sense to live in the present tense "
if so, who answers?

I wish i was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
As for a whole song, probably Present Tense.
Matthew
but so many to choose from
I got shit -same reason ^
Footsteps
Foxy mop? Ive never heard it all the way through though lol
"Its a secret to everybody."
"Alone in the dark
why am I here
why won´t they listen to me
I´m invissible to the world
would anyone care
would they take notice
would someone please Save me
save me from myself
save me from the world
save the world from me
I want to take control
I wan´t to live my life
why won´t they let me
why do they ceep pushing me down
would someone please Save me
save me from myself
save me from the world
save the world from me
Now I´m in control
Why are you not laughing
This day is mine
Now I will be rememberd
would someone please Save me
save me from myself

save the world from me"
In other terms... Alive will rule the world and I have the tatu to prove it
Never met my Dad ever... Alive has left a neverfading imprint in my life

"Where's Mike McCready? My god he's been ate!"...
throw them again...
Agreed, I would also like to throw in there Of the Girl. The lyrics are short and sweet, but beautiful none the less.
I would say, lately, Last Exit... but I very much like I Got Shit, Bee Girl, In my tree, Nothingman...
Actually... I think almost every PJ song has great lyrics...or at least 2 out of 3...
