    The waiting drove me mad, you're finally here and I'm a mess
    Take your interest back, can't let you roam inside my head.


    I love that part too. But isn't it: "I take your entrance back"

    The verse in "Footsteps" when Ed sings "I've got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since I fell apart..." Then he goes into the chorus and wails it. It gives me chills every time.

    In "Release", when he sings, "I wait up in the dark for you to speak to meeeeeeee."

    Leash..."TAKE my fuckin hand"

    Deep...the entire song.

    Blood..."Turns Ed into one of his enemies"

    i thought this would never be asked...

    the bridge in "nothingman".."oh...she don't want him, she won't feel him...after he's flown away...into the sun, into the sun"

    nothingman is such a beautifully depressing song, so much in the sense that's it's righteously uplifting.

    jeff ament is a amazing songwriter. pen on jeff, pen on!!

    LMAO!!! :D Most likely Perlina! I guess I'm in the wrong thread again! :o And I didn't even know it!! hehe!! :D Should be in Misheard Lyrics clearly! ;)

    Actually when I was posting the other day I knew it wasn't right but those are the words that I always sing, so I couldn't for the life of me remember the right ones!! Don't you just love PJ lyrics!! So interpretive!! ;)
    NOPE!!!

    Hold on to the thread

    "Given to Fly" - towards the end where Eddie's singing "He's flyyyiing, whole, he's whole, whole..." and all of the guitar parts how they build during that last chorus and then it's just Mike playing and the song beautifully fades out.

    "Severed Hand" - Where Eddie sings "what is human? what is more? I'll answer this when I get home...." then Mike goes into the most killer solo!

    "Not For You" - The whole song

    "Dissident" - The part where Eddie screams "She gave him away, when she couldn't hold on, no she folded..."

    "Come Back" - The part where Eddie sings "I've been plannin' out, all that I'd say to you..." and the keyboards come in.

    "In the Moonlight" - The guitars at the end of the song!!

    Well that's all for now...

    Theres loads,but off the top of my head.The endings of RVM and GO,the drumming in SAVE YOU and the way Ed sings HERD BEHAVIOUR in DTE.The intro and guitar in I GOT ID, chorus of IN HIDING and the great mellow ending of FAITHFULL(you are you are a furry thing) oh and the intro and rapid drum roll in the middle of BRAIN OF J !

    Favourite part.. many lol One thing that's surprising, is when you think of some parts, PJ actually seem emo lol

    Corduroy for instance.. "I'm already cut off, I'm half dead" (Or in some live versions.. "I'm already cut off, I'm fuckin' dead")

    But for a favourite, it's more then likely "Can't find a betterman" lol Or "If nothing is everything, I will have it all" It's a hard choice, so im going for both lol

    :eek: They are the same ones I was going to say!!!

    Footsteps is one of my fave songs!! And what about the part in leash when he says "Get outta my fuckin face"!...and the bit in Release when he says "Ill wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me". I kinda always imagine Ed to be sitting up in his bed, pitch black...thinking about his poor Dad :(

    Intro to "Garden" the old version. Then the heavy progression at "garden of stoooooone.."

    When I first heard VS I loved the "Rats" outo esp. Dave's funky drums.

    Ed singing Releeeease meeeeeee live

    "Breathe"- there's much more than this!

    The climax of "Inide Job" before the solo

    Those are a few off the top of my head.

    I love when Matt kicks in on Inside Job.

    HOW I CHOOSE TO FEEL
    Is HOW I AM


    it sounds even better in the studio but it's great live.

    The "I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down," always brings me the anticipation on the rest of the song...it kinda pulls me to hear the rest of the song. Like hearing in your head "here it comes, here it comes, here it comes."
    Speaking of which, in Breathe: "Come. Here it comes. There it goes. When it comes. Where it goes. Where it comes. Can't see through the faith," especially the faith part.
    And "Whoooooooo's got the brain of JFK," also the chorus
    There are honestly too many to list. Hail hail is an adrenalin rush to me, given to fly as well.
