"Before his first step, he was off again"(I can relate so much to that line)

"She's been diagnosed, by some stupid fuck"

"Ive got a gun, in fact I got two. I always keep them loaded" (great sarcasim)

"I got scars all over my arms, one for each day since I fell apart."

Cant wait to see PJ in Thunder Bay, Im still in shock that they are comming here.

"I've got straches all over my arms, one for each day, since I fell apart."
This is my favourite line of all time, I wish I could get a tattoo of it on me.

"The OCEAN is full 'cause everyone's cryin'
the full moon is lookin' for friends at high tide..."
isn't it beautiful?

Oh! It's so hard, how can you chose only one line?! I can't even think of chosing their best song! ...I'll just write down the first that comes to my mind:

"I had a false belief, I thought we came here to stay.
We're all just visiting, all just breaking like waves."

Have a good day pjammers!

"if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice..."

That one gets me every time...

"The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick"

The entire song Garden hits at home though

and in the live version (acoustic) of black, at the very end when he sings/yells

"we belong, together....together" ....wow emotion..

"OOOHhh DAAAARRKK GRIIIN... HE CAN'T HELP WHEN HE'S HAPPY HE LOOKS INSANE"

"Nature has its own religion, gospel of the land"

"His face seemed pulled and tense, like he's riding on a motor-bike in the strongest winds"

my sig

"I let go of the rope, thinkin' that's what held me back, and in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck"

"I don't see men as half empt, I see 'em as half full of shit"

and while everyone glorifies the deserving "I know someday..." from Black there is also "The love gone bad turned my world to black and tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be."

After 7 or 8 pages, I wonder if anyone chose this line?... :)

"Sliding... out of reverse, into drive.. next, we will be turning right, then straight.. off in the sunset we'll ride..."


just once of Ed's greatest lines.. :D

Its a hard pick, but..."I can't be free with what's locked inside of me.
If there was a key you took it in your hands."
What to say? Eddie is a genius!

B good!
