Exhibit A: "The ocean is full cause everyone's crying"

It's not a bad lyric when the next line is:
"And full moon is looking for friends at high tide"

Yet Ed wrote it the night after Roskilde in 2000.

im ok with it too, but im not really lyric person, ive always just thought of ed as just another instrument in the band, i may know every word to a song and have no idea what its about.

It's got a touch too much of a Billy Corgan vibe about it for me.

And he wrote severed hand the same night.

Love Mike's stuff at the end of this song.

Lyrically it has always reminded me of REM.

These might be some of the worst lyrics in PJ's catalog. I hate when Eddie thinks he's being intellectual. This song is sooooo boring, especially the choruses. Solo is ok at least. One star.

filler material?

I don't see it as filler, I just think it's bad.

In general, any song they released as a single probably cannot be filler, because by virtue of releasing it that way they are obviously planning on centering the album around it. To their minds at least, it must be one they put the most work in or are most proud of.
