    " All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiney ones instead. I turned my back now there's no turning back. Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes back..."

    I love the way Eddie captures life in this song...

    The suitcoats say "there's money to be made" they get so excited, nothing gets in their way,
    My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
    It's good for driftin', driftin' away

    Plus the ENTIRE rest of that song, thank you for documenting my life at this moment, for that I will be eternally greatful.

    YES!! one of my favorites too...that whole song is so damn good.
    I like this part too:

    'I let go of the rope, thinking my soul would will me back...
    and in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck...
    I can't see whats next from this lonely overpass...'

    There are just too many, but off the top of my head:

    Of course, Black: "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why... why... why can't it be? Why can't it be in mine....?"

    And Breath: "If I knew where it was, I would take you there. There's much more than this..."

    and the young, they can loose hope cause they can't see beyond
    today,....
    the wisdom that the old can't give away
    hey,....
    constant recoil,....
    sometimes life
    don't leave you alone.
    "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid," Goethe said that.

    I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the dark...
    Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...

    JUST ONE, BUT WE ALL MUST DECIDE
    If I knew where it was.....I WOULD TAKE YOU THERE! THERES MUCH MORE THAN THIS!

    'I seem to recognize your face,
    Haunting, familiar, yet...
    I can't seem to place it.
    Cannot find a candle of thought
    To light your name...
    Lifetime's catchin up with me...
    Hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away.'

    Such a moving song!

    Of course this is with no doubt one of the best PJ lyrics, and nobody here but you brought it up, good for you! You really feel PJ soul.

    Floated back down cause he wanted to share this key to the locks, on the chains, he saw everywhere.
    But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed, by faceless men.
    Well fuckers, he still stands.

    Sure is...and don't we all? I can't believe that's the 1st time that's been posted, but I'll take your word for it :)
    The song is SO much better with 20,000+ "helping" Ed sing it though IMO.
    cheers.

    I agree. As much as I love the newer stuff, sometimes I think Ten gets forgotten. It's not cliche to love that album, and it's still great. Maybe a little raw, but always good.

    >> new york streets seem to make it worse
    >> all this noise inside the quiet

    i read someplace that cities are places where people are alone together, and these two lines from other side evoke that thought perfectly for me...

    >>hold on to the thread
    the currents will shift
    glide me towards...
    you know something's left
    and we're all allowed
    to dream of the next
    of the next time we touch...
    you don't have to stray
    the oceans away
    waves roll in my thoughts
    hold tight the ring...
    the sea will rise...
    please stand by the shore...
    i will be... i will be there once more...

    this is one of my favorite songs... the imagery... girl looking at the sea (a girl because i myself am one, and i identify myself with the song), wind in her hair... high atop a sand dune looking at the waves crashing...

    >>i don't question, our existence
    i just question, our modern needs

    >> lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
    he decides to dream... dream up a new self for himself

    Where do I go?
    Where do I stay?
    I got no place to lay on the hay...
    Where do I go to soothe my head?
    Guess I'll turn on music instead.
    Where do I see?
    Where do I shine?
    No one wants to take my mind...
    Where do I go?
    How do I feel?
    Guess I'll waste away in here...
    Out of my mind...

    i'll decide...take the dive...
    take my time...not my life...
    wait for signs...believe in lies...
    to get by...it's divine

    That song gives me goosepimples

    Clearly i remember, pickin' on the boy.
    Seemed a harmless little fuck.
    oooOOO but he unleashed the lion.
    knashed his teeth and bit the recess ladies breast,
    how could i forget.
    and he hit me with a suprize left, my jaw left hurtin,ooo dropped right open.
    just like the dAAay.

    I love this as i was one of theses kids that soaks up all this anger and and aggression from people and one day just lets go coz they have had enough of the shit.
    Fuck me if i say somthing you dont want to hear,
    Fuck me if you only hear whats in your head.
    Fuck me if you can, coz im not leaving here.

    Me, I figure, as each day goes by, I only own my mind. I am mine.

    Father didn't pay attention and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear.

    I would rather starve than eat your bread.... can't buy what I want because it's free.

    And, of course, my signature line.

    A wonderful thread, I really love all the lyrics you have pointed to!
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
