DEFINITELY the 'Singles' version. I just do not like the wooshy vocal effects on the G.H version!!

For some reason, I don't think Alive sounds ANY different?! Yet EvenFlow sounds fresher on RVM, with added WAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Are you an evenflow psycho? If not......you should be!! Have some Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh right back atcha!!

Coolest song! I love the Unplugged, but I have to say I like the Singles version best... it got to me first. Screaming Trees, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Soundgarden... now that's an album... *orgasms*
state of love and trust as i busted down the pretext
sin still plays and preaches but to have an empty court, uh huh
and the signs are passing...grip the wheel can't read it
sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands, yeah
and i listen for the voice inside my head, nothing, i'll do this one myself
lay her down as priest does...should the lord be a-counting?
will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully clear, uh huh
promises are whispered in the age of darkness
want to be enlightened like i want to be told the end...end, yeah
and the barrel shakes aimed a-directly at my head
oh help me, help me from myself
and i listen from both sides of a friend, nothing, i'll do this one myself
myself, myself...

yeah yeah
hey, na na na na hey that's something
hey, na na na na hey that's something
hey, na na na na hey that's something
want it back, back to the left, yeah huh uh
and i listen oh for the voice inside my head, nothing, i'll do this one myself
oh, ah and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
won't you help me? help me from myself, oh...
hmm, state of love and trust and a...

The RVM version is the version from the movie, not the soundtrack, and the EFlow is the single/video version. It's a different(and much better) recording.
the best version i have heard of this song is definately the 94 atlanta version, eddie has so much rage during this version, esp when he sings the whooo at the beginning an the shouting of the 'yeah yeah!' before the solo. man i love this song

state of love and trust as i busted down the pretext
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...)
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.

I personally prefer the original (less added effects). Original version is on the movie "Singles" soundtrack
