  1. where to begin ? my personal fav is "The Fly " Every artist is a canibal ,every poet is a theif ,all kill their inspiration and sing about their greif. Followed by RTSS " scream witout raising your voice".and then Acrobats "don't let the bastards grind you down" there are so many more but this could get really long .
  2. A place that has to be believed to be seen Walk On

    See the face of fear running scared in the valley below Bullet The Blue Sky

    The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie The Fly

    Baby, a dangerous idea, that almost makes sense Love Is Blindness

    You miss too much these days if you stop to think Until The End Of The World

    And you hunger for the time
    Time to heal - desire time
    And your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape A Sort of Homecoming

    They took your life, they could not take you pride Pride

    And if the mountain should crumble, or disappear into the sea The Unforgettable Fire

    All brilliant

  5. Simply 'Hello Hello, I'm at a place called Vertigo'....................................
  6. I guess this is the favourite lyric thread?

    I really like the Beautiful Day bridge.

    See the world in green and blue
    See China right in front of you
    See the canyons broken by cloud
    See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
    See the Bedouin fires at night
    See the oil fields at first light
    And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
    After the flood all the colors came out
  7. The rap part at the end of Moment Of Surrender

    Life is short but it's the longest thing you'll ever do, the worst, the curse, was when that dream came true ; God is a mirror in which each man sees himself, Hell is a place where you don't need any help.

    It's an epic way to close a concert
  9. It's summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
    There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
    I wonder what's gonna happen to you
    You wonder what has happened to me...

  10. Listening to the Mike Hedges mix of Gone, and it's so much more clear and just... WHAM than in the original:

    Goodbye... no emotional gooooood niiiiight!
  11. "And a heart that is broken
    Is a heart that is open    " (Cedarwood Road)

    Actually, I found most of SOI's lyrics great, although I got tattooed "I found the grace inside the sound" (Breathe).

    As a whole song, I think Gone has the best lyrics overall.
  12. "Uncertainty can be a guiding light" hands down
