i’m not. i’m normal. and i don’t know anyone who thinks it’s ‘mate’. we are a little more advanced down here in tasmania despite our dodgy gene pool.

it’s literally in the script that it’s ‘mine’ and doesn’t even sound like ‘mate’. there is no debate. grow up.

Don't you want people to love you?

Have a drink they're buying,
Bottom of bottle of denial,
Big guy, big eye, watching me,
Have to wonder what it sees,
Progress laced with ramifications,
Freedom's big plunge

“Once divided nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back”
Fairly simple but works so well to set up the rest of the song.
Just about every song from Vitalogy feels like an acceptable answer in this thread.

restless soul, enjoy your youth is an excellent opening lyric, though I'm not a fan of the line that follows.
Jeremy's opening lyrics are quite evocative
