"Julie Don't Live Here"

The other thing I noticed when I listened to Time yester-day is that the line "I remember when I thought your street was paved with gold" in "Julie Don't Live Here" seems to be a reference to Revelation 21:21:  "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass."

"The Bouncer"

I listened to Time this morning and noticed a couple of things in the bonus tracks.  In "The Bouncer," "forever" in the line "That's how I want it to be, want it to be forever" is sung with a melisma (although I'm unsure of the specific notes), giving a sense of duration.
