Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself.. You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off.. I'll 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 I won't hold my breath.. 'magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...
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
Satan's bed rules. If I ever get it live in Holland I'll go OUT OF MY MIND.
i feel the same about Release..anywhere..

The sea will rise... Please stand by the shore... I will be... I will be... There once more........
That always makes me think about the end of part 3 of Pirates of the Carribean.
Once every ten years I'll be back for a day, please stand by the shore that day. I wonder if it was inspired by the story used for Pirates. It is a romanic tale in any case.
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
I'll throw another one on here, it's hardly the greatest line thread anymore, anyway.
I was walking back from the shop last week when I was hit by a line. And basically that line does it ever time for me.
Thinking:"If he can't sleep, how will he ever dream"?
Love the song, but this line is suberb. The whole lyrics shows Eddie's skill to tell a store from the first person by really digging into the emotions of the caracter. I think that is Eddie's best quality when it comes to writing lyrics.

As others have said, so many incredible words that it's hard to pick one favorite line, but ... these lyrics from "Sad" ... just amazing.
All the photographs were peeling And colors turned to gray He stayed in his room with memories for days He faced an undertow of futures laid to waste Embraced by the loss of what he could not replace
Some of my favorites: "Underneath this smile Lies everything" -- love the double meaning of this lyric from Inside Job. "Caught a bolt of lightning... cursed the day he let it go" -- Nothingman "If hope could grow from dirt like me, it can be done" -- Down "I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me." -- Guaranteed "Going to rise up, find my direction magnetically" -- Rise "Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness, crashed and on their way" -- Man of the Hour "I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag" -- Yellow Ledbetter
Forgot one: "Practiced are my sins" - Just Breathe And you could basically throw in all of "Guaranteed" -- perhaps my favorite EV song lyrically of all.
I always thought it was: I don't know if it was a box or it was a bag. Yours works as well, quite nicely actually, but I'm not sure if it is correct.
My understanding (mostly from Wikipedia) is that Eddie has used many different lyrics for this song, including the one you mentioned, when signing it live. Both lyrics are great -- how may people could come up with two powerful lines involving the words "box" and "bag"??
Once I stood to lose her, When I saw what I had done.. Bowed down and threw away the hours, Of her garden and her sun..
So I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep.. Forty days and forty nights, And it's still coming down on me..
Hard Sun is a great song, but the credit goes to Gordon Peterson for the lyrics. When I saw EV in concert a couple years ago, he made a comment to the effect of "sadly, the best songs on the album are ones I didn't write" (he was referring also to "Society").

Yup they both are written by someone else. I didn't know Eddie said so himself, but I agree. Especially concering Society. I probable like Gauranteed better than Hard sun, but Hard sun definately is one of the best.

There is a sickness,...... a sickness coming over me. Like watching freedom, being sucked straight out to sea. And the solution?......... Well, from me far would it be. But the delusion,.......... is feeling dangerous to me.
I like this part from Marker in the sand.

An empty shell seems so easy to crack.. Got all these questions, I don't know who the fuck I could even ask.. So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me..

Beautifull lyrics to sad.
