I havent seen any threads about them ;)

Yeah, hey, hey
When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If theres no love, I wanna try to love again

I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

hey, hey, hey
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me

    I wish they posted the credits. I know mike said matt did the music but Id like to see if its all his or if Ed did the lyrics or Stone is credited in any way etc. Im a geek like that.

    I thought I heard in Mike's interview that matt brought the song in and Ed put some lyrics to it. Coulb be wrong though. Great song!

    Im not convinced thats a piano. sounds like it might not be keys at all but rather some form of guitar.

    Yeah. Mike definitely said in that New York interview that Ed put some lyrics to Matt's song, which apparently Matt had for over a year

    this poster is right on as the 'sound' out front is a geet-box. prolly a gibson with a poppy-attachment.

    Thanks for backing me on this one. I have been saying since yesterday to anyone that would listen that the sound they were hearing as a piano was in fact a guitar.

    I keep hearing "if I could get it back again"

    whichever -- it's an amazing up tempo rock song.
