    Definitely "every thing".

    It's a great line.
    I believe its been proven to be "a furry thing" but believe what you want. Thats your personal interpretation, not Ed's. Ed does that stuff purposely so we can take the context into our own interpretation.

    But who am I to say. I got into an argument with Ed here over his own lyrics to Unemployable.. See the Letterman Webcast. Speech right before Present Tense. I was one of a few who thought it was "scared of life". :ohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwamCGQU7_s

    fur·ry Audio Help /ˈfɜri/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fur-ee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –adjective, fur·ri·er, fur·ri·est. 1. consisting of or resembling fur: a deep, furry rug in front of the fireplace; the furry undergrowth of the forest.
    2. covered with fur; wearing fur: Many furry animals are in danger of becoming extinct.
    3. obstructed or coated as if with fur: a furry voice; a furry tongue.
    4. Slang. terrifying; hair-raising.

    Just a guess, but it's probably a bad guess.

    Aren't we all furry....or at least a little furry?

    And Furries are those people who like to dress up as animals (mascots) and have sex with each other, right? Thank goodness the only mascot I ever had to be was a helicopter (but it was a furry thing)...

    Furry thing = everything
    Elephant Juice = I love you
    Vacuum = ?

    Plato = play dough

    Ha, I've been going back and forth as I go through the thread probably 4 or 5 times. I always thought it was furry too for Ishmael. But now I have switched over. Any other arguments to convince me otherwise? This argument wins in 5..4..3..2..1...

    That makes me curious now. How do you know it was him? I mean maybe it was someone from the band's camp but they just relayed the information to him so he talked about it at the Letterman show.
    Possibly. Maybe it was Mike. I'm pretty positive it has been confirmed by Kat that he posts here.. Either way.. maybe I was arguing with Michael muthafucking McCready! :D

    hey, I just re-read my post and realized I sounded a little douchy. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to imply you were lying or anything. I just can't picture him sitting in front of the computer and posting stuff. Micheal Muthafucking McCready on the other hand, I bet he's all 12 finger fast typer and shit checking out how many praises he received each day on the PIT :D
    Yeah, but we don't know Eddie too well. I'm sure he doesn't spend much time on the computer, but I'm sure he's curious as to what the diehards of his writings think every now and then.

    I completely agree with the above statement. I never thought it was "a furry thing"

    I believe it is "ev-ery-thing"
    You may be right, but I'm going to keep in denile, I think "furry thing" is cute!:D
    Here’s a question you might need to ask
    What’s self destruction and how can we last?

    "I cannot stop the thought of running in the dark.
    Coming up a which way sign. All good truants must decide."

    I'm just not hearing it, on the studio version. If so, ed has REALLY gone out of his way to make "everything" sound like "furry thing" ... To me, if it says "furry thing" and it sounds like "furry thing," well ...

    I could claim Ed is really singing "do the apple-lution," but just making is *sound* like "evolution." Doesn't make it true ...

    What I will concede is this:

    Ed has a history of writing lyrics that could be sung in different ways -- "violins" vs. "violence" in Daughter, "innocents" vs. "innocence" in I Am Mine.

    That could be what he's doing here. But on the studio version of this song ... it sure sounds like "furry thing" to me ...
    Don't you just love it. This is one of the most reasons why I absoulety love this band. Just the different ways Ed can sing things. It's really fun at live shows.

    I will stand by this too!

    Um, Stone, Now when I listen to this song, I Like to think that Ed is singing about you. You are now a very "furry" Thang:D From one fur-ball to another.

    Oh I love lying to myself. Just keeping the wonderful dream inside my head alive.
