I wish I could make out more of these lyrics, but because some are too murky, I don't feel like trying.

everyone’s a critic looking back up the river
every boat is leaking in this town
everybody is thinking they can all be delivered
sitting in a box like lost and found

but i found my place and it’s all right
we’re all searching for a better way
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
we all could use a sedative right now
holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
all alone and sinking ???

and if you want to have to pray
it’s all right
we all be thinking with our different brain
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

science says we’re making love like the lizards
try and say that fossils ain’t profound
silence says we’re not allowed to consider
silence says stand up sit down you’re out

But I found my place
and it’s all right
I’m bearing witness to SOME BETTER THINGS
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I’ve got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
there’s no way
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway
it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
for god’s sake
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway
Hope you dont mind me adding a lyric on my first post. :-)

I have been following this thread for a while and I think I only skipped like 5 pages here and there. You guys and gals are cynical and smartass and I love it.

Also, Getaway is my favorite.

I think it's "If it's off my plate, it's alright." But good job, dude.

I think that piano put the nail in the coffin for me for LB. Don't like it at all.

Swallowed Whole sounds like a sunny Counting Crows song. This is also very OK by me.

Y'know, this is just the most perfect time for my laptop to stop working. :(

Unless there's an iPad friendly way of listening to these beauties?

Janet Jackson, the only artist to ever use keys.

The other artist that uses keys is Mariah Carey.

Thanks! LTRP sounds like Black Keys and Queen and Huey Lewis and the News. It is definitely interesting.

Also, just a thought, and dont know if anyone has had the same thought, but...isn't a lightning bolt usually accompanied by a thunder clap?
