ok, does anyone else think of the current Foos single every time they see this topic? or is it just me?
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

i think the first olp song i heard was one man army. followed by life. i was way too young to care at the time though. picking up olp eventually was very nostalgic.

i remember back in grade 6, our teacher used to let us play cds for whatever reason in class. one of the guys always brought clumsy, and we listened to it numerous times.

i HATED it with an absolute passion. HATED HATED HATED.

The first song I heard was 4am, then I bought Clumsy (first CD I owned, on the day I bought my first CD player). I fell in love with it and went to buy Naveed the same week.

i keep singing it too. :lol:

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I didn't own Naveed until July 27th, 2005. Then again I really hadn't heard any OLP though since 2002 though. The release of Gravity made me want to check out their older stuff instead, so I did. And I still don't even own Gravity. Never will.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down

I didn't... but now I put the mp3 on and will every time I see the thread. :lol:

Also, "Best Of You" is still the single in England right now? It's funny how things are different in different countries. We've had "DOA" out for quite some time now.
