Hail Hail has aged better lyrically. And riff wise. NFY had times where I've not wanted to hear it. That has never been the case with HH.

I refer to those who are tall.
HH has become a top 5 PJ song for me over the years.

it has aged better lyrically, though
'all that's sacred comes from youth
dedications, naive and true
with no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you?'
is one of Eddie's very best verses.

I don't relate to that verse as much now as I did at 18. The first line is particularly incorrect. The sentiment is great though.

Yeah, I love that moment in the song, but I don't know if I'd point to that as a lyrical high mark for Eddie. I think what he's able to do in Hail Hail is pretty fantastic, despite one or two lyrical moments that rub the wrong way. I love the music to both these songs, so that puts Hail Hail over slightly.

Hail Hail (again with one or two misteps) is one of Eddie's finest works lyrically, for sure. And superior to Not For You. But I do love the sentiment and the expression of that verse in NFY

Not For You is great and all but it's no Hail, Hail.
