i’m not. i’m normal. and i don’t know anyone who thinks it’s ‘mate’. we are a little more advanced down here in tasmania despite our dodgy gene pool.

Have a drink they're buying,
Bottom of bottle of denial,
Big guy, big eye, watching me,
Have to wonder what it sees,
Progress laced with ramifications,
Freedom's big plunge

I always thought it was “freedom’s big PUNCH” lol
“Plunge” is better. Thanks for clearing that up.

“Once divided nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back”

Fairly simple but works so well to set up the rest of the song.

Just about every song from Vitalogy feels like an acceptable answer in this thread.

restless soul, enjoy your youth is an excellent opening lyric, though I'm not a fan of the line that follows.

Jeremy's opening lyrics are quite evocative
