I wonder if PJ has ever thought of any of their songs, internally, as "punk."

Running was originally "Big Sandy Punk," per Jeff himself

Got me running, got me running

Dictator,... love hater
Lost in the tunnel and the

Now I’m lost in all the shit you’re
Flushing

Victrola,... controller
Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel’s
Getting funneled
Like the sewage in the plumbing
Cause we left the fucking water running

Got me diving, got me diving
Got me deep, I get the bends
When I’m summoned, or too late coming

You got me running, got me running
But the race it never ends
I’m feeling done in, it’s rather stunning

Was cleared for,... for lift off
Aborted my,... take off
Living in the shadows,...
Crossing my fingers
A date with the gallows,...
And a reprieve not looking likely

You got me running
You got me running.
Gotta think this is about Jill just hounding Ed for staying out too late in the studio after he said he’d be home around 8pm

Nah, it's probably about driving his kids around to all of their activities.

In a very good way!

I know we live in a world where there's a divide on whether or not context matters, but it still matters to me.

Honestly, reframing this song to be about the endless grind of parenting may bring it to 3 stars status.

The second half of this song (from the start of the bridge) is at least 1.5 stars better than the first half.

Legit my favorite part of the song is "let the fucking water running"

It makes me so happy
