The Greatest View Lyrics
You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view

This is about death and cancer. The milk is the body, pure the fungus is the cancer The burning and the water fall represents the pleasure and pain Burning bridges, letting go of life and the confines of being human (jealousy,hate,love, past, future). The narrator...THEN The first person..... Im watching you watch over me----- your there whilst im in the hospital bed. I can see you .Your waiting for me to speak, communicate, but I cant. But I can see you watching me whilst im dying. And my spirit isn't in this bed, its above watching you watching me. Its a beautiful thought, and i believe my dads spirit .... played this on purpose as i left the hospital. I let him go and then an hour later he left this body.So comforting
in an interview at www.chairpage.com daniel explained how its about people always making assumptions and nosing into his life, but he will always have the upperhand. i dont remember what he said exactly so you should check it out =) and rubberduckie, i think its officially coming out in the US late july although some radio stations already have started playing it. even though its really different from older silverchair stuff, this new album rocks!!

lol I love the way he sings that bit.
the only part i wanna comment on is the "mistakes dont mean a thing, if yu dont regret them" this to me can be see as; if you dont regret yur mistakes, yull never learn from them.. but the way i see it is; well.. how many mistakes do you not regret? the answer, none. because if its a mistake yu will regret it, otherwise it wouldnt be called a mistake.. so this line to me means.. if you dont regret anything yu do, yu dont make any mistakes..
its seems kinda like a twist love song... like the only reason someone would be watching oversomeone else would be because the loved them and were watching out for them right?... or maybe cos the person watching is suspicious and is spying on the person being watched. LOL i reeeeeally dont know. If you know message me? cos im reeeeally curious. this song is great!
anyone know when the single comes out in the US?
Dont really like soppy songs much but that riffage in the middle is cool
lol that is funny how he sings it, kinda reminds me of a black jazz singer ;)
the new album sure rocks! so different from their older ones.. but then it is quite awesome.. the orchestra and all.. such creative band i think :)
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin I love the way that his voice sounds in that bit... :D This new album is so great!! :)
