What a perfect match up to show the disparity between PJ being hard and PJ acting hard. The listener sits inside on his couch, waiting for something to rock his world.. One bangs on the door shouting and begging to be let in, when the other just plows through it head first.

I think Not For You probably would have just blown up the door.

Getaway is also trying to be a different type of song than NFY, to be fair

True. Not For You is good, and Getaway is definitely not trying to do that.

Gateway is PJ acting hard? Acting what? A puppet show?

I did not like Getaway when the new album first came out. But, its really grown on me over the last few months.
both songs are probably just outside my top 10 favorite PJ songs

No you know Like in one of those porns where everyone's just going through the motions not really feeling anything until it's so boring that she quits pretending to even care and the guy starts to soften and shrivel but he keeps acting like it's not happening because $200 a scene is $200 a scene baby so act hard I guess

Exactly.

Not For You is a raging boner. Getaway has a prescription for Viagra but still suffers from whiskey dick.

These two are very different songs for me. Not For You has not aged well for me. I am not sure why.
It remains my least favorite song on my favorite album.

Getaway is a bouncy, playful, older inversion of the self-righteous standoffishness of Not For You. I voted for Not For You because it's just a tremendous song, and getaway has its flaws. But its a respectable number.

Don't even try to find excuses for the playfulness in Getaway. It doesn't have any intelligent merit or intent. It's just plain dumb.
