Got me looking in the CD booklets and I just realized that Travis really love to sing about two things:
~Going overboard (used in Side, Follow The Light and Battleships) and being on a shelf (used in WDIAROM, Last Train, Selfish Jean) anyone notice this?!?
There might be more..that's all I could think of.

Like Jim Morrison and his obsession with water/drowning/going under in all his lyrics, all the best artists have a 'thing' in their lyrics
Travis write about time a lot as well |

There's also "high and low"...and more phrases that I don't remember at the moment.
other "curious" things about the lyrics:
-In "Last train", the first verse says: "Flowers in your window" and next :"She's so strange"
two tittles :) ...I always notice that when I listen to that song
In "The invisible band" there are three songs called with short words beginning with the same letter: Sing, Safe and Side...the same happens with TBWNN with Colder and Closer (pretty similar xD)...
well....I think that you had already noticed that xD
