Nothing for to say
Love is a tower and you're the key
Everytime you can try but can't turn on your rock song
Or we could something else
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

God Im listening to Riot Act and Save You and Love Boat Captain could be good if the lyrics weren't so dumb........half of LBC is stupid poetry that makes no sense and the other is way too literal <_<

(But I still cant help but like LBC....the way it builds is too good...)

I like Save You's lyrics. I always think of Samwise Gamgee and Frodo.

I think its the repeated "Fuck me"'s in between lines of the chorus that really ruins that one

Cropduster is musically and lyrically one of the best things this band has ever done.

Y'know, a trifecta of Cropduster, Unemployable and Johnny Guitar would be most wonderful to see live come Saturday night.

Definitely one of the worst of all time. Even Eddie sounds like he desperately wishes he had different lyrics to put in there while he's singing it.
