We Got It Goin On, This is Our House and Captain Crash. Awesome lyrics!


Nah on a more serious note I'd go for:

Just Older
Undivided
The Distance
I Am
Novacaine

When I searched in vain over ther Crush lyric sheet for the caliber of lyrics I had grown accustomed to, Captain Crash was the most immediate. We pan it as a live track, but forget that the lyrics actually were quite creative and fresh for the band. So while I don't get worked up over it live, I still enjoy it on the album.

I can see that some of you have chosen Say It Isn´t So, and I agree with you because that one is a song with very very clever lyrics, after Jon´s being inside movies industry (he would still make some movies more). I would put it in the same level as Real Life, if you´d let me put it as post-2000 (as some songs on Crush are pre-2000), also a very clever song. I also agree with Right Side Of Wrong, probably the best song on Bounce. So, for me:

Real Life.
Say It Isn´t So.
Right Side Of Wrong.

As you can see, the presence of the word "life" in a song, even in the title, doesn´t mean it´s cliched.
