You´re not telling me nothing that I haven´t (2x)
Heard before
Nothing that I haven't

You´ll have to try harder than that
You´ll have to dig deeper than that
Reminds me of myself

You´ll have to try harder than that
You´ll have to dig deeper than that
Reminds me of yourself

You can´t hold your breath when you talk
Try not to let sound slip by
I come from inside you
Raise it up so I can see
Just what you´re doing to me
Do you even know why?

You can't hold your breath when you (várias vezes)
You can't hold your breath when you talk

Your place is still at the heart of my everything (and I gotta let you know?)

    General Comment:This is one of those songs that just changed my life. So much emotion and honesty in those lyrics and amazing guitar. No band compares to them in my mind. Oh and I think he alternates between "your place is still at the heart of my everything" and "your face is still at the heart of my everything"

    General Comment:so there is a Copper (EVR) song "caption" that has the line "your place is at the heart of my everything." evidently garrett dated the girl who in that band, so when they broke up this song was about that. hence "your place is STILL at the heart of my everything" that's what i have always understood at least.

    General Comment:One Eyed Jacks is also a western movie starring some pre-celebrity actor or something, but i'm sure imdb could clarify if anyone's interested.

    General Comment:When TITR played this song live in Holland, instead of singing "You can't hold your breath when you..."

    Garrett sang:
    "Another drink and I'll
    Another drink and I'll forget you again"

    General Comment:wanted to mention the pop reference. The title is a reference to One Eyed Jacks in twin peaks (or so i think)

    Other titles are interesting too
    Back and to the Left - Oliver Stone's JFK
    The Magic Bullet Theory - Oliver Stone's JFK
    Do You Know Who You Are? - Apparently for the last words that john lennon ever heard

    anyone know if the other titles are references to anything?
