a smarter man would have given himself more wiggle room on that in the first damn place.

"Twelve years from whenever you happen to be listening to this, watch it go to fire*

*Fire is not necessarily a predictable component of the coming apocalypse."

This is true - 2009 in Christchurch he relabled Temor christ to Tremor Christchurch, a few months later a quake rooted that city. Is Eddie a prophet?

2010 was one of the worst years that I can remember personally.

So what's the story with "I'm so high the sky I scrape"? I always figured it had something to do with this forum. o.O

Yeah, that's one that's better on the record.

Also, I prefer the studio version's "To live and die, let it be done" to the live version's "To be tried, don't be a judge."

"Admire my 12-inch cock"

Some versions of Do The Evolution. Does that count?

Isn't that just the Melbourne 1998 version? And no, I don't think that's what the guy is after.

Correct weight! Well spotted (heard?)... I think I have had it pointed out to me on at least one other boot but I can't remember which one off the top of my head.

And yeah, I guess facetiousness doesn't carry on the interwebs. I'm sorry, I'll stick to using the :arrow: from now on. :|

The lyric changes that have bothered me the most have been the changes like "Daddy" to "Father" in songs like Jeremy.

I think that sometimes Ed makes a change to songs based on who he is or has become rather than keeping the lyrics based on the perspective of the character in the story being told.
