What's this humming in my head
Was it something that someone said
It's connecting us with them
Electric wires turned on again
It aggravates, and it pacifies
Hear the power in the lines
Strung high on every pole
How can this power be bought and sold?
Trying to harness solar rays
Making minutes seem like days
It captivates, and it hypnotizes
Hear the power in the lines
Powerline

I didn't find this song particularly special until a few years after I had owned it.
However, I've come to really appreciate the overall sound of it. Particularly, live, Mould's guitar is muscular. Norton's bass part was always the best part, especially with his use of harmonics on a bass.
