    sin still plays and preaches but to have an empty court, uh huh

    Every version of the lyrics I can find on the net has these lyrics to start but I've always heard it as "Sin Fein prays and preaches but they have an empty core."

    It comes across as Ed's take on the situation in Ireland (Sin Fein is the militant arm of the IRA).

    Can anyone point me to an official lyrics book or site coz after believing this forever it's going to take a lot to convince me otherwise.

    Also, can anyone tell me if State .. was written from Stone's original legendary demo tape? As far as I can remember it had 5 tracks. Ed wrote Footsteps, Alive and Once from 3 of them but since State was one of the very first songs for PJ maybe it was from one of the other two?

    I didn't know that SOLAT was remixed for RVM?! I thought it was just Once, Alive and Black?

    there are actually slight changes to almost half the songs on RVM. Once Alive and Black are all that are officially acknowledged, really, but listen close to the rest of the album (I mean REALLY close...)

    I think the only way Alive is changed is the volume and sound quality are boosted.
    Riverside.. LA.. California. EV?

    My 3rd favorite PJ song. I like how Eddie sang it vintage, though, with the anger. That's really where I feel the emotion of it.
