The Beauty of Ed Options

[Merica]

Let's take a little time out to remember some of our favourite Live lyrics - back in the glory days when Ed was at his peak. He really was a world class songwriter. Lately, I can't get this out of my head:

Like Himayalan cold winter
These jaws of Kali Yuga
Yeah, it's a crazy kind of cold
A lifeless slumber in a stranglehold
Yeah Tibet, she can't even touch this
I'd rather freeze in her forests
We're in a spiritual winter
And I long for the one who is

Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart

It's just pure fucking brilliance; absolutely masterful use of language - simply amazing stuff.

What lyrics are you currently high on, or are your personal favourites in general?

[Rupe]

always fighting the storm
buildin' shelter to house our lack of love
we're only here for a while
tear it down and suffer the wound

.....

an invisible mississippi, ganges, or a nile
i can feel the quiet river rage
forcin' my lips into a smile
don't believe that the world is empty
just too noisy to hear the sound
I can feel the quiet river rage

No argument, the boy can write.
