    "I'll decide...take the dive...take my time, not my life...wait for signs...believe in lies...to get by...it's divine...whoa...oh, you know what it's like..." (Tremor Christ)

    "All that's sacred comes from youth/dedication, naive and true/with no power, nothing to do/I still remember, why don't you...don't you" (Not for you)

    "Up here so high the boughs they break/up here so high the sky I scrape/had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse of my innocence... got back my inner sense.../baby got it, still got it" (In My Tree)

    "Like a cloud dropping rain/I'm discarding all thought/I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground/I'm like an opening band for the sun" (Push me Pull me)
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    off the top of my head...

    the beginnings of Corduroy and Sad
    The part of Not for you where ed sings "my friends call me..."
    and the part of daughter right after "rise aboooove"
    Oh, and the first part of Leash... sublime :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Agree with you, the beginnings of Corduroy and Sad are incredible. And I love the beggining of Breath as well.

    Well I like that little growl in "Go" (studio) right before the studio. :cool:

    And also when Eddie sings "Your one!" in Hail, Hail from Live on Two Legs.

    I'd like to third that comment about Sad and Corduroy!

    But one part I always liked was that part on Go that Eddie sings "Suppose I abused you". He sings it out of nowhere, lyrically its random as hell, but it sounds so awesome all at once!

    I simply love the lyrics to "save you" especially
    "You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down
    Why are you hitting yourself?... c'mon hit me instead"..........that is friendship!
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.

    the opening guitar solo to "alive."
    my reaction was "what the hell was that?", but in a good way.

    the whole of insignificance has some goosebump appeal for me. surprised they didn't play it more this past tour.

    the alive drum fill that dave used to do in the second verse in the "she said i'm ready...ready for you" line.

    the "swell" to sleight of hand...heard this live in cincy in 2000 and the atmosphere with that swell with the breeze and summer smell just was awesome. every time i hear that i go back to that moment

    "I just want to scream hello"

    opening riff of alive

    and GTF
    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
    And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    A human being that was given to fly
    make sure the fortune that you seek...is the fortune that you need

    when Ed laughs in Life Wasted. its so creepy
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me
    I'll open up
    Release me

    That up and down guitar part at the end of sad is really cool.

    The closing line to Last Kiss is awesome as well.

    The "Fuck You!" in Not For You. The best.

    So many to choose from!!!! But a more obvious one.....

    Even to this day, the intro of Corduroy (studio version) can still send shivers down my spine.

    The way it slowly builds, guitars getting louder and louder, then bam!

    The waiting drove me mad........

    I love cranking this song up in my car :cool:

    Note... This song holds a special place in my heart, it was the first PJ song I heard live, back in '95 in Melbourne at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. To be young again!!!.....and have hair :(

    That's my husbands favorite part too. He sings it really well - lol. I love how in some concerts it takes on a life of it's own. :)
    Great question btw. :)

    Can he sing it as well as Eddie tho?
    I love your signature by the way.
