...Army Reserve. I don't know why it's not at the top of more people's list of favorites. I don't know why it's not discussed more often as a PJ classic.
Rarely have I heard Eddie sing with such power and passion. When he kicks into the "I'm not blind / I can see it coming.." part of the song I literally get goosebumps.
Cheers to you, Army Reserve.
How long must she stand
Before the ground, it gives way
To an endless fall
She can feel this
War on her face
Stars on her pillow
Folding in darkness
Begging for slumber
I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my child's eye
I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Violently shakes
My body
Her son's slanted
Always giving her
The sideways eye
An empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And mom, she reassures
To contain him
But it's becoming a lie
She tells herself
And everyone else
Father is risking
His life for our freedoms
I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my childs eye
I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Darling you'll save me
If you save yourself

i have their Roo performance on my phone, so i listen to it pretty frequently
yup, definitely underrated
such a good song
+1 :]
one of my favorites!
I definitely hear you on Down. However, it gets more love than Army Reserve does, so it can't be their most underrated.
Yes, that game was fun, memories! Been thinking of putting together a similar kind of thing, but with all the songs thrown in against each other. Would be a long game though...

It's a mistake on pj.com. Jeff definately wrote the music, I remember him talking about it in an interview.
If you hate something, don't you do it too
yeah look in the liner notes.
jeff wrote the music and ed and damien echols collaborated on the lyrics.
jeff's only contribution to self titled besides big wave.
yeah....;) songs like:
sweet lew & help help
kinakamot ang aking puwit...
me rascando pompis...
krap mijn reet...
boku no ketsuoana o kizu...
bahrosh teezy...
To be fair, only one of those songs made it on to an album.
If you hate something, don't you do it too
most underrated? Not so sure.

NICE!! this song gets no love from most fans (but i think it's awesome)

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
