Originally posted by RUMMY:For YEARS I've always loved what I thought to be "Corduroy's" lyric, "everything has changed... absolutely nothing's changed" as I interpreted it to mean everything about the narrative has changed but nothing around him has (or vice versa) but I have just discovered (nearly two DECADES later) that the line is "Everything has chains... absolutely nothing's changed."

    Well, that's a bit of a bummer... and makes me look/feel a bit foolish.

    Ah, well. I've never been certain why the title of this amazing song was "Corduroy" anyway.

    LOL, that's one hell of a misheard lyric!

    I agree that PJ lyrics are hard to figure out sometimes

  2. Especially Yellow Ledbetter!
  3. I'm with you on that Matt. To me it's "changed".


  4. Now that we're at it, and going only slightly off topic: is it specially or especially? I use to opt for the e-less form but I can be wrong of course. We say "especial" and "especialmente" in Spanish so adding the e- would only be natural for me. I just want to know which is right/wrong since I see both forms on the internet.
  5. In this instance, it's especially.

    Eddie thought about the song after having seen a very cheap jacket similar to one of his being sold over hundred dollars just taking advantage of the grunge "fashion" of the period
    they can buy but can't put on my clothes


    ps: the verse is everything has chains

    hehe i often have thousands of these doubts
  9. Immortality gives him the most trouble - at least it did during the 2000 tour!
  10. Although Immortality has some outstanding lyrics.
  11. Indeed it does - EV just keeps screwing them up (in 2000).
