"I think it sucks that Phish quit. I think because of their size and success they brought new people continuously into the scene who then checked out other bands. Overall, I think it’s harder to pick up fans now that Phish is gone."

"It comes back to their personal lives. Everybody has a different agenda with their families, whether it’s getting married or having a kid or a kid’s birthday or being home for Halloween trick or treating. That’s the hardest thing to balance out. Somebody wants to take family vacation in January, somebody wants to go in April and somebody wants May. It’s balancing five guys personal lives with their work lives and making it fair for all of us. I think I’m lucky, though, because the individual guys in moe. realize that there’s four other people who depend on them. As well as the seven, eight, nine other people they employ."

"It feels so right now, hold me tight, Tell me I'm the only one, And then I might, Never be the lonely one. So hold me tight, to-night, to-night, It's you, you you you - oo-oo - oo-oo."

"Little child, little child, little child, won't you dance with me? I'm so sad and lonely, Baby take a chance with me."

"I know it's true It's all because of you And if I make it through It's all because of you And now and then If we must start again Well, we will know for sure That I will love you."

"You think you lost your love When I saw her yesterday. It's you she's thinking of And she told me what to say. She says she loves you And you know that can't be bad. Yes, she loves you And you know you should be glad. Ooh!"

"All my little plans and schemes, Lost like some forgotten dreams. Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for you."

"Whatever happened to the life that we once knew Can we really live without each other? Where did we lose the touch That seemed to mean so much? It always made me feel so Free as a bird."

"Saving up your money for a rainy day, Giving all your clothes to charity. Last night the wife said, "Oh boy, when you're dead You don't take nothing with you But your soul - think!""

"Try to see it my way Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on? While you see it your way Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out. We can work it out."

"Got a good reason for taking the easy way out. Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now. She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yeah. It took me so long to find out, and I found out."

"My love don't give me presents. I know that she's no peasant, Only ever has to give me love forever and forever. My love don't give me presents. Turn me on when I get lonely, People tell me that she's only Foolin', I know she isn't."
