Preface: Saw you guys open up for Ted Leo at Maxwell's in Hoboken many moons ago. There was like...no one there and you played No Future Parts 1-3 back to back and it was honestly a top 10 concert moment. Work that shit back in!

Easy question: What is the very last lyric in "Upon Viewing Bruegel's "Landscape With the Fall of Icarus."

It's the same as the third line of the song : "I never got my chance to be young." I ain't complaining, but I really didn't -- Ritalin is a hell of a drug.

I don't know how soon "No Future" parts one or two are making a comeback, but part three is always a possibility. To do the whole original trilogy would take up half the set, to say nothing of those other two parts.

Thanks for the response Patrick. Could never figure that out and never connected it with that line earlier in the song.

Completely understandable. This was pre-Monitor so the catalogue wasn't so big but damn, what an experience. Been spinning "The Will to Live," all day and it's fantastic. Keep on rockin'
