I love the reggae sound and the part when it really starts at "Life before the lobotomy".

Love this song. I get the feeling the 'whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes' bit will be great live, everyone singing it.

Loved it live too :happy:

I think this could be the next single or The Static Age. What do you think?

I honestly love this song so much that I DON'T want it to be a single. I like having it a little less well-known. I think you may be correct, but in a way, although it's by far my favorite song on the album, I hope you're wrong. :lol:

I'm betting this is the next single.

And it will be edited so that the intro is gone so the song will start with the lone electric guitar

As much as I wanna say that is the official one.... I cannot. Yes, I made it.

the song's good, but be honest, it's repetitive. Of course, I really liked it, but as for most of the 21CB album (unfortunately) I got tired of most of the songs eventually.

Btw gdkid, is the Before the lobotomy cover the single in your sig? Because I've checked and no new single as been released. Youre trying to trick some people arent you :D

maybe he thinks that this will be the next single, I think so too, or it also could be The Static Age, but my favorite would be Horseshoes and Handgrenades

I love this song but don't get your hopes up for it as next single. Actually, I can't see there being anymore singles from the album.

Exactly. AND, 21CB has more songs. AND Metallica for one of their albums had 6. At least make the last single radio-only like She. And i was never wanting this song as a single at all. I'd prefer either Peacemaker, Restless Heart Syndrome or Murder City as the last single.

Yeah, but five years ago singles did a whole lot better than they do now, plus even then five singles were a stretch. They only did five because it was so successful. The last two singles for 21CB didn't even get released properly (EJN and 21CB).

That's the way I'm thinking...and besides, I don't know if I'd want this to be a single...I'm too protective of this song :lol:

The way I think about that line, it has to have the one before it included.

Christian's lesson's what he's been told - "We are normal and self-controlled."

In other words, like some parents say, "Now, Johnny, we don't bite the other children on the playground." It's like the authority figures in Christian's life are telling him that "we" (good people) are normal and self-controlled. Obviously, he needs to be told that often, because he's NOT normal and self-controlled.

Anyway, that's what it means to me.

i agree that you need the line before that to understand it, but i think that "we are normal and self-controlled" is Christian's reaction to authority figures telling him how he should be. Like authority figures attempt to teach him the "lessons", but he fights back saying "i AM normal...i AM self-controlled', i don't need your lessons because to myself I am normal...

I'm kinda torn on what to expect. Like you, I can totally see no more singles being released. But on the other hand, I don't like the idea of the singles ending with 21 Guns... and I don't think Green Day do either (Yes, I know EJN and 21CB are "released"

kinda

but they aren't doing so well).

My guess is Before the Lobotomy (hence my version of the single artwork in my sig) and that the video will be shot after the Asian tour which is at the end of January. It will be the "N.A. tour single".

And plus, this song and RHS are the only two songs from 21CB that are on the band's MySpace... take this for what you will.

Once again, these are only my opinions

it's cool cuz if you think about it as christian and gloria singing to each other, you can imagine it perfectly :)
