I always kick this around in my head between a few songs, interested to see what others think, here's the list I came up with, let me know if I'm wrong about any of them or any I missed:
Mankind(Stone) No Way(Stone) Pilate(Jeff) The Color Red(Jack) Low Light(Jeff) All Those Yesterdays(Stone) Gods Dice(Jeff) Nothing As It Seems(Jeff) Thin Air(Stone) Of The Girl(Stone) Rival(Stone) *Ghost(Jeff) *You Are(Matt) Get Right(Matt) Help Help(Jeff) *Bu$hleaguer(Stone) *All Or None(Stone) Inside Job(Mike) Dont Gimme No Lip(Stone) In The Moonlight(Matt) Whale Song(Jack) Fatal(Stone) Other Side(Jeff) Strangest Tribe(Stone) Sweet Lew(Jeff) *- lyrics co-written with Eddie
I think my choice would be Fatal, with NAIS, ATY, and No Way coming in close behind.

Ed wrote the lyrics to Smile, I'm almost certain.
They were written as a little note to Ed and the band by one fo the guys from The Frogs. The polaroid with the Smile lyric is actually took a scan of it I think.

Well, yeah, I know the story but it's not as if the guy wrote the note with the song in mind - it was just a note that Ed decided to use as lyrics to Smile. He's still the credited lyricist.

And I'm sure Ed added the "this is how I feel!" line.

Hmmm, I guess it depends if you'd consider that as Ed writing the lyric...I don't think I would. I know the guy from the Froggs gets a tiny amount of cash for every copy of No Code sold.

"Hey, guy from the Frogs, I know you're only getting a tiny ass royalty for this album, so here's what we'll do: We'll put the lyrics on these ugly ass polaroids, and only put a few into each copy of the album, so if people want them all they'll need to buy multiple copies. I mean, really, there are people out there that will buy multiple copies of ANYTHING we put out!"

Really? I've never heard that before.
To get back on track, Gods' Dice for sure. Great, great song - was over the goddamn moon to hear it in 2006 (good version too, extended intro).

Yeah I didnt think I should count Smile or Army Reserve as lyrics not written by Ed.
