  1. and that it will be the name of the tour?
  5. I don't know if anyone's said this yet...but the lyrics to "Magnificent" have a very spiritual feel to me...

    "I was born to sing for you...I didn't have a choice but to lift you up..."

    "It was a joyful noise..."

    "Justified 'til we die, you and I will magnify The Magnificent..."

    I get a sense of very raw Christianity here...

    ...not to mention that this is an amazing song.
  6. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight


    She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
    Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
    There's a part of me in chaos that's quiet
    And there's a part of you that wants me to riot
    Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
    Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
    Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
    How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
    Change of heart comes slow..
    It's not a hill it's a mountain
    As you start out the climb
    Do you believe me or are you doubtin?
    We're gonna make it all the way to the light
    But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
    Every generation gets a chance to change the world
    Divination that will listen to your boys and girls
    Is the sweetest melody the one we haven't heard?
    Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
    The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear
    But change of heart comes slow...
    It's not a hill it's a mountain
    As you start out the climb
    You see for me I've been shoutin
    But we're gonna make it all the way to the light
    But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
    Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
    Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
    Ha, ha, ha
    (The Edge)
    It's not a hill it's a mountain
    You see for me I've been shouting
    Let's shout until the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
    You know we'll go crazy
    You know we'll go crazy
    You know we'll go crazy, if we don't go crazy tonight



    Gerry This is my 3rd fav song beind Magnificent & Unknown Caller
  7. I really like the simplicity of COL's "The scent of it lingers and then it just goes" after "This shitty world sometimes produces a rose." Seems to fit the clarity of the song perfectly. No over-extended metaphors, just the clarity of the idea behind the lines themselves coming through. Very nice balance to the rest of the album imo.
  8. My favourite line of the whole album is on NLOTH song: I'm a traffic cop, Rue De Marais, the sirens wailing but it's me that wants to get away........ Oh man, fantastic!!! Beats all the rest of he lyrics on this album, even though they're good.

    I think thats mine too actually . Altho i like basically all of Being BU2orns lyrics.

    Six o’clock
    On the autoroute
    Burning rubber, burning chrome
    Bay of Cadiz and ferry home
    Atlantic sea, cut glass
    African sun at last

    Lights flash past
    Like memories
    A speeding head, a speeding heart
    I’m being born, a bleeding start
    The engines roar, blood-curdling wail
    Head first, then foot
    Then heart sets sail

    i dont like how he sings it tho. i think he should have sang it a little faster . still slow but not SOOOO Slow.
  10. what does "Ju Ju Man" refer to?
