this is the sweet spot worth the price of admissionGot Some wrote:One bad ear and one eye blind
It takes a village but don't take mine
Living forwards in a backwards town
I feed 'em drinks just to watch 'em drown
Swallow my pencil and bleed out my pen
Surrender the wish we'll be together again
And I won't give up
I won't give up
On satisfaction, satisfaction
Gave up on satisfaction
Pull myself aside on a sleepless night
Sadness blurs, I'm in need of a light
Out of balance, balance, balance this time
I'm feeling fading, calling as I'm falling out of sight
As the silence gets louder my heart gets pounding
And ventricles pumping, working overtime
Our freedoms fraught with danger being circumscribed
A life cut short and circumcised
A rubble of commandments from the road, step aside
A rubble of commandments in the road, step aside
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

Re: Who Ever Said
I think I've said this before, but this section is possibly the first time a PJ studio recording captures the feel of the live mid-song detours that the band did so well from 2000-2006PHATJ wrote:This section is perfection.Ms Harmless wrote:this is the sweet spot worth the price of admissionGot Some wrote:One bad ear and one eye blind

Re: Who Ever Said
This song would benefit greatly from a 15-20 percent reduction of words.

Re: Who Ever Said
Most of the words are in the breakdown, and that’s the best part of the song, and maybe my favorite lyrics on the album.Monkey_Driven wrote:This song would benefit greatly from a 15-20 percent reduction of words.
