Simply Amazing....

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love.

Whenever I think Ed has reached his highpoint in his songwriting, he gives us something like this. I cannot imagine how difficult it can be to take a trajedy and make it into a song, thus remembering those who were lost everytime they play it. The words are amazing:

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you

Love, Love, Love.....

    This truly is one of their most powerful songs.

    I know it has helped me through tough times in the past few years for me.

    PJ has something for every occasion in life. It truly is simply amazing.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...

    I agree, there were some other songs that were left out of the Greatest Hits, but again for every song that is left out that you want to add, you have to remove a song. Also, is LBC considered a slow song or fast one? I would have to put this on Side B.

  • Very true obiwon76.

    If everyone could create their own greatest hits they would most likely all be different.

    Personally, I wouldn't put LBC on the greatest hits, but would have Present Tense on there. It is all a matter of personal prefrence.

  • LBC is one of my favorite songs on Riot Act and very high on the list of all time favorite PJ songs. Ed's lyrics are so versatile and this song just proves how incredible a lyricist he truly is!

    Best part of the song is the line,

    "lost 9 friends we'll never know"

    Ed can always change the next line to 7 years ago today, 8 years ago today, to keep a constant reminder and tribute to those people.
