    Black always did it for me.

    Close seconds:

    Who You Are
    Down
    Garden
    Go
    If idle hands are the devil's workshop, he must not be very productive.

    leash, wash, release, immortality or black. i cannot choose from these. incidentaly they all have my fave PJ lyrics

    "drop the leash, drop the leash, get outta my fuckin face"

    "oh please let it rain today, this city is so filthy like my mind in ways"
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    black...

    it is old, over played, and probably played out...but honestly it is the best song they have ever written, or ever will


    sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
    were laid spread out before me as her body once did
    all five horizons revolved around her soul
    as the earth to the sun
    now the air i tasted and breathed has taken a turn
    and all i taught her was everything
    i know she gave me all that she wore
    and now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
    of what was everything?
    all the pictures had all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
    i take a walk outside, i'm surrounded by some kids at play
    i can feel their laughter, so why do i sear
    and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
    i'm spinning, oh, i'm spinning
    how quick the sun can, drop away
    and now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    of what was everything?
    all the pictures had all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
    all the love gone bad, turned my world to black
    tattooed all i see, all that i am, all i'll ever be...
    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 mine?

    I love 'smile' - its a nice song :o) but 'state of love and trust' is up there too..as well as 'release', 'rearviewmirror', 'spin the black circle' 'in my tree'...so many songs, so little time.
