for BnN, they're all correct.

Live & Demos are by ear, so cant be garenteed.

I manage the lyrics so if you have some changes, either post in this thread or PM me, if I think its a toss up, I confir with some friends and we hammer out a final product.

OK

And I can't keep chasing you through the zone--
Carnival -- but the sun shines -- through.

And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines  through.

God knows secrets that I told
God knows secrets though I'm told

dark carnival
on like the first thingy you have
That's a sweet alibi
then on the rest you have
not a sweet alibi


im not going to bother with the "And" and "I"'s
thats it for now

Agreed.

Heres my big yellow taxi..
lol
you dont have to put those "hey now" and "now"'s before the "they paved paridise" if you wanna

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique,
And a swinging hot spot.

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. lalalala

They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em.

now Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop.   ooo bop bop bop.

Hey, farmer, farmer, put away your D.D.T.
I don't care about spots on my apples
 leave me the birds and the bees, please!

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
hey now They paved paradise to put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. ooo bop bop bop.

listen(ing)-(late) [its either "listen late last night" or "listening last night"]
last night I heard the screen door slam.
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away.



now Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

hey now now Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
now They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Hey hey
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. ooo bop bop bop.

I don't wanna give it.
Why'd you wanna give it
Why'd you wanna give it all away
hey hey hey
(VC background)
I don't wanna give it.
Why'd you wanna give it
Why'd you wanna give it all away
I don't wanna give it.
Why'd you wanna give it
Why'd you wanna give it all away
girl, your Givin' it all, givin' it all away

VC: Why you want to... Why do she want to?

Cause she's givin it all away.
hey hey hey

VC: lalalalala

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

interlude(demo) :?

Makin' my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could(can?) just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory

'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
oh 'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could(can?) just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Wish I could let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't wanna let this go
I, I
Don't know...

Just making my way downtown
(I'm?)Walking fast
(the?)Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through this crowd

And I'll still need you
And I'll still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
oh 'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could(can?)
Just see you...
If I could(can?)
Just hold you
Tonight

"And the Big Yellow Taxi took my girl away . . ." - Counting Crows

not slam, the slam is in joni mitchell's version (i like that one the best...the ending is great lol)...

and i think it is listen late last night...

Alright... the updates have been made to the following songs:
Big Yellow Taxi, Superhero, Dark Carnival, She Floats, & Carnival.

There's been a few other changes made too...
- VCMB Lyric thread has been axed (who even still uses that anyway? lol)
- Lyric thread (http://forum.nessaholics.com/viewtopic.php?t=928) on this board is cropped down to BnN (the official lyrics)
- Complete Lyrics (BnN+demos+live+bsides) can be found at 2 locations...
http://www.nessaholics.com/pages/lyrics/ Since the forum is part of the Nessaholics.com site, the thread was changed to the official stuff and the site has complete (now updated) lyrics from all songs we have available.
http://www.blackvulture.com/vanessa/lyrics.shtml My own website will always have compete lyrics as well.
- So now I only have 2 places to update instead of 4 which was fuckin crazy. lol Both of these 2 sites are easily accessable for all your lyrical needs.

...&i just noticed this now in carnival..
It's the age of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the night.

It's the edge of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the light.

ya I also thought it was before the light..I didn't want to say anything.


Also, I noticed how you gave credits to other people who helped with lyrics and well kulpdogg helped with a few..I think at the bottom of the lyrics there should be a  Big Thanks to Kulpdogg and whoever helped get the other lyrics down too! Figuring you did that for everyother song. Other than that I think the lyrics look great!! Thanks a bunch for updating them!!

now
on the line
To try to get my feet back on the ground
i believe she says
i just gotta get my feet back on the ground.
now i know that looks completally different, but i did hold my ear up to the speaker and it deffinatally is not "to try to" and this is what i heared...

oh yeah and at the end, add another "Walk on Water"

well, this is completally by my ears ....so why doesnt everyone go over that part and REALLY listen good and tell me if you think im right... :?

lol in patty griffin's 1,000 kisses CD cover she has the lyrics for a song called "tomorrow night" and who ever printed out the lyrics messed up...

"you're lips are so tender, you're heart is beating fast..." is what it says...

It's a great song though...

Post by: PIBby on August 20, 2003, 07:32:30 pm
People get on my nerves . . . 'Tis all I'm saying.

Actually, it's not . . . When I buy a CD and I look at the lyrics and there's a grammatical error, I automatically like the band or artist less. Same with magazines, letters, books, whatever. Which is part of the reason why I hate Catcher in the Rye so much (besides the horrid ending).
Title: ---a question about the lyrics thread
Post by: zurielshimon on August 20, 2003, 09:50:58 pm
I hate buying a record and the lyrics printed in the program are not the lyrics on the record.  Either a verse is missing or an extra verse is added, or words are wrong, or it's just always something.  I think the lyrics should be written in the program by the artists themselves.  Avril Lavigne did that, and though she's no grammar ace by any means, at least what she wrote is what's on the record.

I'm also going to be scrutinously looking over the Vanessa lyrics posted here, and I'll let you know if I pick up anything also and discuss it.

I never thought it'd hurt so bad.
I just wanted to love you;
Never thought it'd hurt so bad.
Never thought it'd feel so right;
I was just thinking of you.
Never thought it'd feel so right.

It's the age of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the night.
Don't you run from the show,
Cause I just want you to know that I love anyway,
And I will not let you go,
But you run everyday,
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines through.

Tell me it won't hurt.
Never thought it'd hurt so bad
Funny how the story ends.
Remember the beginning.
Funny how the story ends.
Should never have looked so close.
I can see all your cracks --
Should never have looked so close--

It's the age of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the night.
Don't you run from the show,
Cause I just want you to know that I love anyway,
And I will not let you go,
But you run everyday,
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines through.
Tell me it won't hurt.
Tell me it won't hurt. Tell me it won't hurt.
Tell me it won't, but you run from the show
And I just want you to know that I love anyway
And I will not let you go, but you run everyday
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines through.

Tell me it won't hurt. Tell me it won't hurt.
I just wanted to love you.
Tell me it won't hurt.
I just wanted to love you.
Tell me... Tell me it won't hurt.


what i think it should be will be in dark blue




(no I)Never thought it'd hurt so bad.
I just wanted to love you;
Never thought it'd hurt so bad.

hmmm, I've always thought that in Papa it was "nestled in you calculated moonshine" in stead of "emotion"  i have 2 different live recordings and i really think it's moonshine.  Is it just me?


omg, i think your right
"nestled in your calculated moonshine"
 i only  have 2 versions too, but i DEFFINATALLY hear a "shine" at the end of that word.
you're totally right! :D


I thought she just pronounced "emotion" funn-uh-ly :?  :?

yea cuz sometimes she pronounces words funn-uh-ly....

and calculated moonshine? I know you can mean the shine from the moon OR an illegal alcoholic substance....

that's why we need more people's opinions about lyrics, because different people hear different things.  And no, i don't think it's moonshine in the effect of the stuff that gets you seriously f*cked up. :wink:

Once you guys get your demo tape CDs and get the new lyrics finalized, I'll correct those too.
Title: ---a question about the lyrics thread
Post by: KULPDOGG on November 24, 2003, 05:36:16 pm
ok, heres the songs i changed lyrics to.:

Little Mary takes a walk
with her perfect hair and a perfect heart and happy as can be
Little Mary

Mary it’s just visual I don’t think it’s real
Inside I think she’s me
well I could be wrong could be right
Don’t think it matters
Cause little Mary sings her song and wipes away her tears

Little Mary don’t you worry
perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

Drop a line my way
you Say it Mary, say it Mary
Don’t be afraid to reveal
It’s this preconceived notion that everybody's got
That little girls are perfect and angry they are not

And little Mary don’t you worry
Perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

Oh little Mary
Don’t you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
and Little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven

Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
It’s always a perfect little Mary that falls she falls
And it’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls

Little Mary don’t you worry
Perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down



Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That every day he finds just what he's looking for
Like a shooting star he shines
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can
If we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land

as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
though they did not feel no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger for I feel
I've held him for all of time
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can
And if we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land

Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee
And you must be

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
was it all in my head?
Did'nt he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door I saw that boy
Standing there with a deal
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can
And if we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky



Floating down
an Endless river
Passing dive
Touching whatever
Never knowing where your going but still living every
Moment that counts

Stand and linger to see
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be

Over waves
Up and down
Does not matter
She lives unbound
Consequences pose no threat for she is rising and not
Looking down.

Stand and linger to see
Meggie sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be

Stand and linger to see
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be
   

(ok i didnt really change much in that one^, but whatever :roll: )



...(burden was perfect, just needs an extra "something that comes from the inside" at the end.

And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside



As I leave the demons behind me
I find myself within your eyes
I didn’t seem to know what I was missing
Just seems so out of my eyesight

But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

As I fight the shadows that disguise me
Dyin’ for these hidden ways
All that seems so far is now behind me
And I can soar while my heart is left sinking

But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

And it's as if new old eyes have found me, ‘cause things look different than before
I've never felt so light and so free and so willing to go on no matter what I come across
Cause I will not stop pushing ‘til I have recovered what was lost

Feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
‘cause I have finished falling

Funny how the things you need will find you
The things you want will leave you wanting some more
Everything that comes along reminds you
You can either rise above or you can hit the floor

But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

No I’m no I’m no no...i






SEE MY NEXT POST FOR DEVIL DANCE




Stumbling down a road lined with signs
It's obvious I'm in the wrong direction
But I won't stop now you know I feel fine
Just looking for some affection
And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water

I figure it won't be long it won't be hard
just gotta get my feet back on the ground
Just gotten a hold of some unlucky cards
And I have yet to make another round
And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water


No one lent a hand, no one laid a look upon me
Invisible to everything but blame
No, and No one cared to tell, no one dared to believe in anything
And left me to drown in this pain
And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water





When the pressure will not fade away
When the real things starts to become fake
When you can’t recognize your own hands
Turn around and begin again

When the sky starts ripping and falling
And The horizon is no longer calling please
Don’t try to make it on emptiness
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

If your eyes become glazed with indifference
If your screaming with lips that are silent
If you can’t find light in the day
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

When you cannot find yourself anywhere
If your standing but feel your not really there
If your waiting for someone to catch you
Turn around and begin again

If you can’t seem to find what’s been to be found
In a heart that pumps rage as your only sound
If your waiting to be blown away
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

But now and then
Now and then
I wonder.






I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right, just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight

Never cared never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face, couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change whatever came within these shallow days

And I will, I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen

As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight

And I was stained, by a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight...
(not much changed in twilight^)



I’m waiting helpless and wanting more oh
I have been here before
So what’s the next step is it up or down
Please [take] me to the door (transition point between side 1 & 2)
But there are too many faces too many faces
And I don’t know what they’re all for

So give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in-between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in-between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure

Yi yi yi yi yi yi...

I’m on the outside and I’m peering in
But things don’t look like what they have been no
There are too many races too many races
And I don’t really want to win

So give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure

I promise I will never take more than I can give
But I don’t want to play these silly games
No I just want to live so please
Take off your mask and show me all that you are
Because life is better when you are not busy playing parts.
Yes I said life is better when you are not busy playing parts.
Yes it is, life is better when you are not playing with
Faces

Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure
I’m living for sure

Why am I running I am running so far oh
Just to figure out who you all are
And there are too many questions too many questions
And all the answers seem so far

Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure
I’m living for sure yeah

Yi yi yi yi yi yi yi...

(i dont remember if  i changed anything on this or not..lol, sorry..
but i do agree that its "take" me to the door)






I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true and

I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted

And As you float the flimsy surface
You should know life lies beneath it
And Don't pretend you feel what I feel for you
Live illusion and I am real

I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted

I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted


I know, I know you like the way
You feel when I play
I know, I know you don't really
Hear what I say
I know, I know you are waiting
For something to raid
I know, I know you wish you could be
More than you say

I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true and

I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted

I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted

More than you'll love, more than you'll hate,
more than you'll feel, more than wanted
More than you'll need, more than you'll dream,
More than you'll hear, more than wanted

More than you'll taste, more than you'll touch,
more than you'll hold, more than wanted
More than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish,
More than you'll have, more than wanted
(wanted is very different.. and by the way, this version is KICK ASS!!!!!! :D )




Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight... to fight

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright, alright

As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well all she needs and all she wants
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light... her light

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright... alright

Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't you try to hold it in, push it out
Don't you try to hold it in, hold it in

Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been

im changing Devil Dance again.. lol
this time i think im 100% correct
 8)


I can see it but you won’t
I look around you are alone
Memories they seem to fade
And I said I would stand by your side
But his side seems to be your side
Don’t let me get in the way

So you can do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark

And desperate for a sense of self
But you only look to someone else
When the answer’s buried in your head
Grow farther from the life you crave
Grow empty with each passing day
Oblivious to every thing

But you still do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
Around and around you go you go

Without a way out
No screams allowed
So be still you feel fine
Don’t escape you are mine
Illusions following you fast
Reality left in the past
The floor has fallen from your feet


But you still do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark

It’s been upon his finger all the time
All the time
You feel fine.

but those are old.




----------------here is my final draft :wink: ----------------


You never thought it'd hurt so bad
Bring me a remedy
You never thought it'd hurt so bad
Never thought it'd feel so right
Bringing you to your knees
Never thought it'd feel so right

It's the edge of the dawn
When she looks in your eyes
And she wants what is hers
Before the light

And she runs on her own
And you'll hurt before you know
Not a sweet alibi
When you get your bloody dose
In the still of the night
It is there you'll feel it most
In this dark carnival
Where the end is close

(I'll tell you it won't hurt)
Never thought i'd hurt so bad
Funny how the story ends
Remember the beginning
Funny how the story ends
Should never have looked so close
(Should never have looked so close)
I can see all your cracks
Should never have looked so close

It's the edge of the dawn
When she looks in your eyes
And she wants
What is hers
Before the light
And she runs on her own
And you'll hurt before you know
Not a sweet alibi
When you get your bloody dose
In the still of the night
It is there you'll feel it most
In this dark carnival
Where the end is close


[laughter]
...and we'll fight to the death
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...everyone has an hour
...and the weapons
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...so we'll fight to the death
...now it is final
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...for what?
(Tell me it won't hurt)
...who knows?
Tell me it won't...


And she runs on her own
And you'll hurt before you know
Not a sweet alibi
When you get your bloody dose
In the still of the night (of the night)
It is there you'll feel it most
In this dark carnival
Where the end is close

Tell me it won't hurt
(I'll tell you it wont hurt)
Give me a remedy
Give me a remedy
I'll tell you it wont hurt
I'll tell you it wont hurt

On Burden on BV and the Nessaholic's site it says "Don't grow bored to quickly". I smell a grammatical error. It's "too quickly".

yeah i think i may have messed up a couple of times (if the lyrics came straight from the ones i posted)


Little Mary takes a walk
With her perfect hair and perfect heart
And happy as can be
Little Mary

Mary it’s just visual I don’t think it’s real
Inside I think she’s me
Well I could be wrong could be right
Don’t think it matters
Cause little Mary sings her song and wipes away her tears

Little Mary don’t you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

Drop a line my way
You say it Mary, say it Mary
Don’t be afraid to reveal
It’s this preconceived notion that everybody's got
That little girls are perfect and angry they are not

And little Mary don’t you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

Oh little Mary
Don’t you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
and Little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven

Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
It’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
she falls
And it’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls

Little Mary don’t you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

--------
oh, and those "no"'s you're talking about...
the first one i kind of hear, but i think its just one of those hummming "oh"'s ....cause the secound one IS an "oh" which was already in the lyrics
---------
and you're right about burden..
----------
Always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time, and
Not every color that you will see
Is the real one every time
Let me clue you in on complexity
And everybody is so very fine
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

And as you wasted time playing detective
Is it to figure out my mystery?
Well let me tell you now that I'm no secret
'Cuz I can sin before you righteously
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

Don't grow bored too quickly
I haven't finished yet
I know it must be painful
To hear what's left unsaid
Don't refuse
It's no use
You can not run from this
Just sit still
And listen
Listen to all you missed
But it's always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time

And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

Afterglow
----------------------


Just when the waves are washing over
Just when you think you’re going down
Just when the chill makes you colder
The sun comes out for you

And if you could see what’s come over me
Then you would know
`Cause I’m walking free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow

And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
Of the blood in this life that’s ours

And if you could see what’s come over me
Then you would know
`Cause I’m walking free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after---
Hold me now and see the sun filled sky
Lay me down and see the day has gone by


And if you could see what’s come over me
Then you would know
`Cause I’m walking free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow

Birdie...

Quote
Birdie
I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
And he asks "are you ready?
Cause I'll take you as far as I can
If you would just let me"

Don't you think that I should hold you
Don't you think that's what I should do
So I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
But he'll never have me

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"

In this day
And I can't get away
Cause I'm just a bird in a cage with a rage
And he can't step away
Cause I am the girl that he can't save

I'll never know how the moon stays so still
I'll never know how the moon stays so still

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"

Hold me, soothe me, I'm just your doll now scold me
Break me, bruise me, wear me out and soothe me
Love me, love me, love me

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby, don't worry babe

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
Around you and you say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"
 

thats what we have on nessaholics.com lyrics page..

as far as i know there are only 2 live recordings of Bridie availiable.
the first one is the one at 'village underground' 3-21-2001 and the lyrics to that one go as follows:

And I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
And he asks "are you ready?
`Cause I'll take you as far as I can
If you would just let me"

And don't you think that I should hold you
Don't you think that's what I should do
So I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
But he'll never have me

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you'd crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
oh my pretty"

oh in the city

And I can't get away
`Cause I'm just a bird in a cage with a rage
And he can't run away
`Cause I am the girl that he can't save

I'll never know how the moon sits so still
I'll never know how the moon sits so still

And I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you'd crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
oh, my pretty"

Ring me, Mold me, I'm just your doll now scold me
and break me, bruise me, oh wear me out and soothe me
and love me, love me, love me, love me

And I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you'd crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby, don't worry babe"

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
Around you and you say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh in the city
oh in the city
oh in the city

.....
now i know that it would be more suitable...
soooooo the lyrics to the newer version go as followed:



And I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
And he asks "are you ready?
`Cause I'll take you as far as I can
If you would just let me"

Don't you think that I should hold you
Don't you think that's what I should do
So I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
But he'll never have me

I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you'd crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
oh, my pretty"

Oh, oh in the city

Oh, and I can't get away
`Cause I'm just a bird in a cage with a rage
And he can't step away

hmmmmmm, this is more of a question...

i just got this strange feeling about meggie sue..
like i now understand the meaning of the song.
lol
oh and i think you may need to change the lyrics because of it.
-----------------read it now.

Floating down An endless river, Passing dive, Touching whatever
Never knowing where you're going but still living every Moment that counts

Stand and linger to sea
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be

Over waves, Up and down, Does not matter, She lives unbound
Consequences pose no threat for she is rising and not Looking down

Stand and linger to sea
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be

Stand and linger to sea
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be
-------

i think we can change 'see' to 'sea' wouldnt that make sence??
i mean i think the song is about a girl drowning herself or something o_0

"Consequences pose no threat for she is rising and not Looking down"
like the consequence of just dumping yourself in a river is ending up in the sea and drowning, but she doesnt care, she wants to go to heaven.
i dont know, maybe it could work both ways too?
support me if you agree or, tell me im stupid in a nice way if you disagree.

oh yeah and i've been meaning to say this for a while..
on Superhero...

I never thought it would be me
Held so high
Fell so far
Mother may I lay my head down
I'm a falling star


it really sounds like "Held so high" instead of "Head so high"
i dont know if it makes sence or not, but really, the more i listen to it, the more it sounds like 'held', not 'head'

...i mean she DOES say "head" in that song more than once, and that line just does not sound like head.... it sounds like "Held"....

It's held.  *pats on back* for actually reading what Kevin has . . .

except she would have to be saying to the sea..

and you are seeing meggie sue being free...

I think "not looking down" means staying positive.

The water is a metaphor for life, the waves and the ups and downs are the struggles.  Though the struggles don't get to her.  She is living "free."

I could keep going..if you don't get it, I will...

there is a studio version where she giggles and a live version where she says "okay that's it."

You can get the non-lp version (meaning the version not on the single, i think) from "kazaa" (or a helpful nessaholic.)

the way to do it is to really clear your head.
no thoughts at all.
and really listen [no need to blast the volume]
dont think or assume she says something, cause then you'll think it, and your mind will think you heard it.

i dont know if it makes sence or not, but really, the more i listen to it, the more it sounds like 'held', not 'head'
 :?

...i mean she DOES say "head" in that song more than once, and that line just does not sound like head.... it sounds like "Held"....


^^yeah i said that a long time ago..
i guess it wasnt fixed yet.

yes he did!
but im gonna correct all the little mistakes and make it perfect! :wink:
here you go::
-----------------------------------------


Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day

And Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances, she goes and goes
Like beer through the nose on an inside joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's black leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
We give each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses

For the lyrics of "White Houses," when I was watching TRL today, some lyrics came up differently than what has been posted.

Crashed on the floor when I moved in,
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin,
We promise each other it's 'til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us,
With pretty-eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day,
No, I can't resist the day

And Jenny screams out and it's no pose,
'Cause when she dances, she goes and goes,
And beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty and she's so sure,
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
Summer's all in bloom,
And summer is ending soon

It's alright, and it's nice not to be so alone,
But I hold onto the secrets, in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head,
I come undone at the things he said,
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love, and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat,
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
Boy, we're going way too fast,
It's all too sweet to last

It's alright, and I put myself in his hands,
But I hold onto the secrets, in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins,
And I pray it never fades, in white houses

My...first...time,
Hard to explain,
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain,
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my... first... mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me,
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend,
I feel so far from where I've been,
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading, on white houses

I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust,
In my heart is the five of us, in white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me,
What I gave is yours to keep, in white houses,
In white houses,
In white houses

Nope, i think you're wrong. The song is about her at ballet school (or the time when she was at ballet school) as it mentions in the MTV article on her- and it would make much more sense if she was refering to her bunk (bed)in her ballet school dormitory. Also, how mnay bungalows are there in new york? It would make much more sense if she was in 'a little bunk alone with some strange new friends'.

LMAO- kevin, isn't it quite obvious? She fell out of her bunk bed! hehe. You can crash on the floor when you move in somewhere, even if she does have a bunk bed, no? Thats just silly technicalities! All i know its that its not 'bungalow'. hehe

Of course! You've definitely cracked it there. heh. So clear now.

Quote from: "rosieposy87"

True, you can do, but you'd have to have some pretty serious problems to want to spend a night on the floor when there's a perfectly good bed.

Quote from: "rosieposy87"

I'm still convinced that it is. The vocals are pretty clear at that point. For my money, it's definitely not "little bunk alone". (yes, you have permission to laugh at me when the book comes out and I'm wrong!).

We declare by royal decree that Rosie is wrong.  I listened many times, and the word clearly ends in "low."

However, we also declare that she must pay Kev by CHECK or cash, as cheque is not a real word and is just something silly the British made up.

So let it be written... and all that stuff.

Quote from: "TSE"
The only thing I can think of is the "those without sin shall cast the first stone"  And the thought that when He bent down and wrote in the sand He was writting the sins of the scribes and Pharisees . . .but. . .


Was exactly what I was thinking. A sin is sometimes called an injury or a wrongdoing.

Vanessa doesn't exactly strike me as a devout Christian, so I'm sure she picked up an adapted version from another literary work. That, or it was completely coincidental.

maybe it's love of something ignites in my veins
yep, i think so.


Errrrrrm....I can't hear "of" at all in there...it really sounds like "or" in all of the live versions and even the studio recording...

About the biblical reference...didn't she once say that her father is Catholic? I don't think it's too far fetched for her to have heard the verse somewhere and decided to use it...

Who's To Say


Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright
When you're around to tell us slow down,
We're too young you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are

And who's to say that we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?

Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found

And who's to say we won't burn it out?
And who's to say we wont sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we wont fade to grey?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew

You and I, packin' up my room, we feel alright
But we're not well comsumed
We'll be drivin', 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we arn't getting stronger?
Who's to say I can't live without you?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
Who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?

Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around

Annie


Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county ICU
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up to the moment and I hope that I don't blow it
And what is it in me that she hears?
It's just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dying girl wispers in my ear

Tell me now can you feel it?
I've been keeping company with ghosts
She comes to me like a peice of summer
She comes to me on the days when I need it most

Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever
And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears
Well summer dies and its just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie

My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you
I travel alone and the lonelyness brings me to tears
Well summer dies and it's just moments we have together
And I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie

Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much and I am wreckless
Just this once would you forgive this

And hold on, the days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself
She's eligant and she means it, no

Years for you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
Watch her as she slips away from you
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you

Private Radio


Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head, from you, baby

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
On a whim, I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun now

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

Catch me, not care
Call me later
Mornings risin'

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody it's in my head

(When the night comes)
There's a part of me no one will ever know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
There's a part of me no one will ever see
(I've got my private radio)
There's a part of me no one will ever leave be
(My private radio)
My private radio
My private radio

San Francisco

I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
love is dancing on my finger
we got to the heart of the matter and lingered
now I'm walking with the living
I always liked steinbeck and those old men whispering(?)

we're back, we're back in San Francisco
we're back and you tell me i'm home

talking in the Mission over coffee
this is my utopia
then I'll be your lady
as the ocean rises, the sun is fading

we're back, we're back in san francisco
we're back, we're back in san francisco
we're back, we're back in san fran

and now I feel the ever after
over red wine [can't tell] summer
the buzz, the buzz of the city
as we settle in it's majesty
I, I know what you did
like a boy of summer gives his first kiss

we're back, we're back in San Francisco

Winter



Half a week before the winter
The chill bites before it comes
And I'm a child of the pleasure
Daddy brings before he runs

He sits behind a desk of mahoginy
He wispers dreams into my ear
And though I've givin him his empire
He delivers me my fear

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
I turn to look and burn my eyes
I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise
As I stand swallowed by the light
Flickering above the highway
I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight

The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
We turn to look and burn our eyes
I carry on, I carry
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
I carry on
I carry on
We carry on

The Wreckage



Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy

The rhythm, the rhythm of an engine
Always makes me empty
I see the headlights comming at me
I can't help but wonder

Flying, flying in slow motion
The wind through my hair
And ripping through the scenery
Oh, the wreckage
It is my secret need

Oh, speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy

Watchin' puddles gather rain
Theres no better place to lay
Shes as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
Shes not thinkin' 'bout anything
She floats
She floats
Floats

Wearin' black patent mary janes
She steps out into the rain
She's as dry as clear blue skies
Swallowin' you whole
God knows secrets though I'm told
She floats
She floats
Floats

You could cast the color on me
Can you see my fire red?

Sweet and smooth as it goes down

Oh, say you, say me
Say always and forever more

Your melody is bringin' me down

But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine

Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me

Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright

Look left

Afterglow




Just when the days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
And theres some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth

And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow

And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
In the blood of this life that's ours

And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--

Watch the sun, it paints an orange sky
Lay me down, and feel the day has gone by

Just when the day
Just when the day
Oh, oh

Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
And the sun comes out for you

And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--

Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow, oh, oh

In Annie, shouldn't it be ICU as in Intensive Care Unit instead of I see you?  It would make sense because the next lyrics are about "nothing you could do" and 'doctors" and "a dying girl"  Maybe it's me, but when I hear that song I picture kids at St. Jude's Children's Hospital.  Probably one of those things we'll have to wait for with the liner notes.

I agree with you, I think it's "baby," but I could be wrong...guess we'll have to wait 'til November to read the lyrics in the linear notes.

or we could all listen, come to a conlusion and change it prior to Nov and hope we got it right.

I agree, it sounds like baby to me...



(I keep hearing "let's just wait till Nov" but it doesn't kill anyone to discuss it and get others opinions and get them as close as possible to correct... i'm sure we will all be checking the liner on the CDs we purchase.)

Title: Updated lyrics
Post by: KULPDOGG on October 02, 2004, 04:48:19 pm
updated White Houses...and i'm listing all the songs lyrics in a row for some reason, ..
re-listening to them all
and so everything below is updated lyrics and you should ignore the ones before this probally.


Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust

I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day

And Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
And Beer through the nose on an inside joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
And on a cloudy day
Well it's more common than you'd think
He's my first mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
We give each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been

So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust
In my heart it's the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses


----------------------------------------------------
Who's To Say



Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright
When you're around to tell us slow down,
We're too young you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are

And who's to say that we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?

Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found

And who's to say we won't burn it out?
And who's to say we won't sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we won't fade to grey?
Who are they anyway? Anyway, they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew

You and I, packin' up my room, we feel alright
But we're not well comsumed
We'll be drivin', 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we arn't getting stronger?
Who's to say I can't live without you?
Who are they anyway? Anyway, they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
And who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?

Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around

-------------------------------------------------



Annie



Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county ICU
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up to the moment, and I hope that I don't blow it
And what is it in me that she hears?
It's just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dying girl wispers in my ear

Tell me now, can you feel it?
I've been keepin' company with ghosts
She comes to me like a peice of summer
She comes to me on the days when I need it most

Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever
And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears
Well summer dies and its just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more
Years for you and I
Oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive
Oh Annie

My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you
I travel alone and the lonelyness brings me to tears
Well summer dies and it's just moments we have together
And I'd give my bones for you to get a few more
Years for you and I
Oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive
Oh Annie

Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much and I am wreckless
Just this once would you forgive this

And hold on, the days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself
She's eligant and she means it, no

Years for you and I
Oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive
Oh Annie
I watch her as she flew deep within the blue
I watch her as she slips away from you
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you

-----------------------------------------------------------


San Francisco



I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
Love is dancing on my finger
He got to the heart of the matter and lingered
And now I'm walking with the living
I always liked steinbeck and those old men whistling

We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, and you tell me I am home

Talkin' in the Mission
Over coffee, this is my utopia
Man, I'll be your lady
As the ocean rises, the sun is fading

We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San Fran--

And now, I feel the ever after
Over red wine on the eve of summer
The buzz, the buzz of a city
As we settle in it's majesty
I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss

We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, and you tell me I am home

You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
Back in San Francisco

And I know what you did in San Francisco
I know what you did to San Francisco
San Francisco

-------------------------------------------------------




Afterglow




Just when the days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
And theres some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth

And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow

And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
In the blood of this life that's ours

And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--

Watch the sun, it paints an orange sky
And lay me down, and feel the day's gone by

Just when the day
Just when the day
Oh, oh

Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
And the sun comes out for you

And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--

Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow, oh, oh

-------------------------------------------------




Private Radio



Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head, from you, baby

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
On a whim, I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun

Now, you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

Catch me, not care
Call me later
Morning's risin'

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody it's in my head

(When the night comes)
There's a part of me no one will ever know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
There's a part of me no one will ever see
(I've got my private radio)
There's a part of me no one will ever leave be
(My private radio)
My private radio
My private radio

--------------------------------------------------





Where The Streets Have No Name




I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building then burning down love
We're burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The cities a flood
And our love, it turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
We're trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the steeets have no name
Where the steeets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
We're burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

See all the love, it turns to rust
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
I see love, it turns to rust
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
We're blown by the wind
Oh, and I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do



-----------------------------------------------------




Winter




Half a week before the winter
The chill bites before it comes
And I'm a child of the pleasure
Daddy brings before he runs

He sits behind a desk of mahogany
He wispers dreams into my ear
And though I've givin him his empire
He delivers me my fear

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
I turn to look and burn my eyes
I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise
As I stand swallowed by the light
Flickering above the highway
I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight

The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
We turn to look and burn our eyes
I carry on, I carry
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
I carry on
I carry on
We carry on

------------------------------------------------




C'est La Vie



I've been takin' what your given'
Now I'm thinkin' I've been livin'
The fantasy of your sweet smile

Sad as blue and blue as only
You could cast the color on me
Can you see my fire red?

Mmm... Mmm...
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him

Boy you swallow truth like honey
As you spew your lies upon me
Sweet and smooth as it goes down

C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him

Oh, say you, say me
Say always and forever more
I'll be your perfect little sugar bride
But oh, if you could see
The truth within our perfect harmony
Your melody is bringin' me down

Mmm... Mmm...
C'est la
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him
Without him

Boy you swallow truth like honey

-------------------------------------------------------




Papa




Look up
Look where you wanna be
Look left
Look where he left me

I should've known
By the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine

Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me

Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright

Look left
Look where you wanna be
Look up
Look where he left me

I should've known by the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine

Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me

Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright

-----------------------------------------------------




She Floats



Watchin' puddles gather rain
Theres no better place to lay
Shes as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
Shes not thinkin' 'bout anything
She floats
She floats
Floats

Wearin' black patent mary janes
She steps out into the rain
She's as dry as clear blue skies
Swallowin' you whole
God knows secrets though I'm told
She floats
She floats
Floats

...

Cause she's as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
Shes not thinkin', she's listening
She floats
She floats
Floats
Floats

She floats
She floats
Floats

---------------------------------------------------




The Wreckage




Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy

The rhythm, the rhythm of an engine
Always makes me empty
I see the headlights comming at me
I can't help but wonder

Flying, flying in slow motion
The wind through my hair
And ripping through the scenery
Oh, the wreckage
It is my secret need

Oh, speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy



...


...
everything was updated a little bit except for c'est la via, papa, and the wreckage i think.

I'm pretty confident in the first and last "stanzas", the middle might need some work, but I did my best, seeing as I <3 it and have had it in my head ever since I heard it in Chicago lol. Big ups to Nicole (LPL) for going at this one with me  :D

Morning Sting

Here I lie awake
More than blood runs though these veins, these veins
It's just a case of morning sting
Well, take this idle mind
And fill it what you will
You search, you'll find
a fatal case of morning sting

Well watch him as he goes
Living in a golden afternoon that I'll never know

Burn me, give me praise
Whatever is convienent to arrange
Bring it to me on a string
I'm coveting a remedy
that only love can bring with my disease
It's just a case of Morning Sting

Well watch him as he goes
Living in a golden afternoon that I'll never know

Picture perfect
She'll follow his icy politic
Can't cut a girl and burn

Cover me now
I'm bare in these dirty sheets
Gotta get out
Get out
And find me some peace
It's just a case of
It's just a case of
It's just a case of
(oh oh oh oh ahhhhhh)

Sounds pretty perfect to me, Brian.
The recording is AWESOME, by the way, was it Steve who recorded it?? Because it's the best live recording I've heard out of her, I think. Even her voice sounds beautiful.

Here I lie awake
And more than blood runs though these veins
These veins
It's just a case of morning sting
Well, take this idle mind
And fill it what you will
You search, you'll find
A fatal case of morning sting

Well, watch him as he goes
Living in a golden afternoon
That I'll never know

Burn me, give me praise
Whatever is convienent to arrange
Oh, bring it to me on a string
While coveting a remedy
That only love can bring
But my disease is just a case of morning sting

Well, watch him as he goes
Living in a golden afternoon
That I'll never know

Picture perfect
She'll follow his icy politic
Can't cut a girl

And brrrr
Cover me now
I'm bare in these dirty sheets
Gotta get out
Get out
And find me some peace
It's just a case of
It's just a case of
It's just a case of...
Oh, Ah...
Oh
Oh, Ah...
Morning Sting

i think that's right too. the reason i couldn't decide is because 'diseases' doesn't seem to fit the form of the song, but i can't hear a "t" anywhere in it, so 'disease...it' coudln't have been right either. "my disease is" sounds good to me. makes sense

Vanessa played Morning Sting at the Savannah show, and to me, the lyrics sounded a lot clearer and it sounded like she was saying "Well, my disease, it's just a case of morning sting" and instead of "And brrr," I'm almost positive it's "Can't cut a girl and burn"

Private Radio:
"A solitude lives in my head, from you, Baby"
"Find me out of my pillow"

Winter:
"I'm a child of the pleasure
That he brings before he runs"
"I carry all the weight of empty promise"

Annie:
"And you're so fine, girl,
The way you stand up to your fears"

Who's to say:
"They tell us slow down"
"Well, speed's the key"
"We're not welcome, soon we'll be driving"

Okay, I think that's everything that it said in the book that was different than we'd thought.

It does say "not", but then again, in the WH lyrics it say's "and i prey it never fades" (notice spelling) and in Private Radio, there's also a mistake "It's rhythm grooves...." I know. I'm picky. But what the hell :razz:

The programme/poster in 'Harmonium' is so full of spelling errors and other typos.  So don't get all upset if there's a letter or two wrong here and there.  One of the first things I noticed after I opened it up is that the lyric type goes suddenly from regular capital and lowercase lettering to capitals and small capitals about halfway through "White Houses":

maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at things he said
he's so funny in is bright red shirt    <-----there's another misspelling there
we were all in love aND WE ALL GOT HURT
I SNEAK INTO HIS CAR'S CRACKED LEATHER SEAT
THE SMELL OF
GASOLINE IN THE SUMMER HEAT
BOY WE'RE GOING WAY TOO
FAST, IT'S ALL TOO SWEET TO LAST

And then it's like that for the rest of the songs.

I've noticed a lot of people have been saying "who's to say we won't fade today?" when it really sounds like she's singing "fade to grey," which is also what is printed in the liner notes. also, in the liner notes it says "who's to say i can't live without you?" which i think makes sense, since in that line she's probably saying to her parents, "what makes you think i can't live without you?" or something like that lol ok i'm done... for now

there is a big diff between Ev (selling over 10 mil world wide) and VC ... she doesn't have near the projection of sales that Ev did.

Plus, WU just wanted to sell MORE albums cuz they knew some peeps would buy two copies just to get the Band Version as well.. ;)

I suspect there is a lot cost to push something like a cover back to development and back out and i doubt they'd do it for the minimal sales that VC will produce.

Private Radio (Live 2005 Tour)
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
badda dup badda dup badda dada dada
badda dup badda dup badda dada dada

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude lives in my head, from you, baby

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
When no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can feel it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I've got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
If I don't win I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun now

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
And no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can feel it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I've got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

I'm keeping secrets at midnight
and if there ever was a right time
I'll tell you everything on my mind
I'll tell you everything

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a song inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody that's in my head

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
And no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can feel it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I've got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

My private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
My private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
Keeping secrets at midnight
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I'll tell you everything on my mind
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I'll tell you everything

Quote from: "All I Ask2003"
Vanessa played Morning Sting at the Savannah show, and to me, the lyrics sounded a lot clearer and it sounded like she was saying "Well, my disease, it's just a case of morning sting" and instead of "And brrr," I'm almost positive it's "Can't cut a girl and burn"


YAY!!! I was hoping i would find someone who thought that too!!!

I second the and burn instead of AND BRRRR  :razz:


well, it could be anything. you know, i only have 1 recording to get the lyrics off of. and i only posted what i thought it was :-\
it could be burn. i donno. i just didnt hear the N in burn so i figured it was bur, which i thought made sence what with the "cover me now" that follows :-\
can't cut a girl in bloom.

I was actually paying attention tonight...

HooRay! :D



Quote
Private Radio (Live 2005 Tour)
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
badda dup badda dup badda dada dada
badda dup badda dup badda dada dada

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude lives in my head, from you, baby

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I do belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
When no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can hear it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

And find me out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
And on a whim  I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun down

You can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
And no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can hear it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

I'm keeping secrets at midnight
and if there ever was a right time
I'll tell you everything on my mind
I'll tell you everything

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody, it's in my head

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
And no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can hear it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

My private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
My private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
Keeping secrets at midnight
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I'll tell you everything on my mind
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I'll tell you everything

you're in luck  :D
alright, heres what I have to say about the Rinse section.

all lyrics below are corrected from what was on www.nessaholics.com/lyrics.php

Lyrics Home  Rinse  Ordinary Day (Divide & Conquer)

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was lookin' to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That every day he finds just what he's lookin' for
And like a shooting star he shines
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can
If we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger, for I feel
I've held him for all of time
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can, no
If we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land

Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee
And you must be

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Oh was it all in my head?
Didn't he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door I saw that boy
Standing there with a deal
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can, no
If we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was lookin' to the sky

Lyrics Home  Rinse  Carnival

Never thought it'd hurt so bad.
I just wanted to love you;
Never thought it'd hurt so bad.
Never thought it'd feel so right;
I was just thinkin' of you.
Never thought it'd feel so right.

It's the edge of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the light.
Don't you run from the show,
Cause I just want you to know that I love anyway,
And I will not let you go,
But you run everyday,
And I can't keep chasin' you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines blue.

Tell me it won't hurt.
Never thought it'd hurt so bad
Funny how the story ends.
Remember the beginning.
Funny how the story ends.
And you should never have looked so close.
I can see all your cracks
Should never have looked so close

It's the edge of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the light.
Don't you run from the show,
Cause I just want you to know that I love anyway,
And I will not let you go,
But you run everyday,
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines blue.
Tell me it won't hurt.
Tell me it won't hurt. Tell me it won't hurt.
Tell me it won't hurt, Tell me it wont

But you run from the show
And I just want you to know that I love anyway
And I will not let you go, but you run everyday
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines blue.

Tell me it won't hurt. Tell me it won't hurt.
I just wanted to love you.
Tell me it won't hurt.
I just wanted to love you.
Tell me... Tell me it won't hurt.

Lyrics Home  Rinse  Rinse
(I basically just copied this and pasted it from my website)

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

And she must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way

How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
She needs to be held in his arms to be free
But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
'Til she knows that the heart of a woman
Will never be found in the arms of a man

And she must rinse this all away
She can't hold anybody this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way

And if she runs away, she fears she won't be followed
What could be the worse than leaving something behind
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
It's loneliness she finds
If only he was mine

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse him
She must rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
(She must rinse him)
She must rinse this all away
(She must rinse him)
She can't hold him this way
(She must rinse him)
She must rinse this all away
(She)
She can't love him this way

Rince - Pretty Baby
ok, you only have 1 of the versions up there and I have no idea which one, so i'll do you a big favor and give you both versions straight from my website =)



Pretty Baby [Version 1]


You light me up and then I'll fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you

Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby

And I know things can't last forever
But there are lessons that we'll never learn
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
So how's it you then that makes me better

Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin'

Why can't you hold me and never let go
When you touch me it is me that you own
Pretty baby oh the place that you hold in my heart
Would you break it apart again

Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to

I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' around
Oh pretty baby

Pretty baby don't you leave me
Pretty baby why can't you see
Pretty baby don't you leave me
Pretty baby why can't you see
Oh pretty baby, pretty baby
My pretty baby, don't you leave me
Oh, pretty baby, baby, baby
Oh, pretty baby, baby, baby


------------

Pretty Baby [Version 2]


You light me up and then I'll fall for you

I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby

And I know things can't last forever
But there are lessons that we'll never learn
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
So how's it you then that makes me better

Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm

Would you break it apart again

You're the one that I belong to

I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' around
Oh pretty baby

Pretty baby don't you leave me
Don't you leave me
Pretty baby why can't you see
Why can't you see
Pretty baby don't you leave me
Pretty baby why can't you see
Oh pretty baby, [Don't you leave] pretty baby
My pretty baby, don't you leave me
[Pretty baby, don't you leave me]
[Pretty baby why can't you see]
Oh, pretty baby, baby, baby
[Pretty baby don't you leave me]
Oh, pretty baby, baby

Lyrics Home  Rinse  Wanted

(ok this was just really messed up, so once again, Straight from my website, here are the correct lyrics.)

I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me, all that is true and

I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted

And as you float the flimsy surface
You should know life lies beneath it
And don't pretend you feel what I feel
For you live illusion and I'm real

I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted

I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted

I know, I know you like the way
You feel when I play
I know, I know you don't really
Hear what I say
I know, I know you are waiting
For something to raid
I know, I know you wish you could be
More than you say

I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me, all that is true and

I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted

I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted

More than you'll love, more than you'll hate
More than you'll hold, more than wanted
More than you'll need, more than you'll dream
More than you'll feel, more than wanted
More than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish
More than you'll have, more than wanted

-----------------------------------


and thats all for Rinse that needed to be corrected.

and i'm only doing the Rinse section for now.

Private Radio (Live 2005 Tour)
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
badda dup badda dup badda dada dada
badda dup badda dup badda dada dada

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude lives in my head, from you, baby

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
When no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I can feel it
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
I've got my private radio
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
If I don't win I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun now

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)
And no one knows
(badda dup badda dup badda dada dada)

I'm keeping secrets at midnight
and if there ever was a right time
I'll tell you everything on my mind
I'll tell you everything

And there's a song inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody that's in my head

And no one knows

Lyrics for "The One"
------------------------------------
please keep in mind, im pretty sure all the words arn't right, so i'm up for suggestions, of corse :-p
although I think I got most of them right =)

Vanessa Carlton - The One
----------------------------------


Holiday, in that's all home, office tea,
And boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Listen through the radio
We sing along to the 80's show
The songs they play me more than I can say

And they play for me too
Won't you think of me when I play through
I'm kind of sad now that it's done

You think my concious free
And all the ways you say to me
Sweet virgins don't
lets wait and see

But you're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you adore
My parents say "Isn't he a gifted son?"

Time is always passing by
And still I have to wonder why
You can't come to tell me I'm the one

Summer goes whether we have grown
We have our friends, they've run our own
Still I'm not the girl you wanted me to be

the gravity and the bends of time
funny how you always liked your mind
but this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy
in this girl's heart that you destroy
you smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passing by
but still i give you another try
and hope that you will see
that i'm the one

the day is scared
will get you close
come and see how he knows
the day is now, at the show
you blend just in, just never spoke

And now you look at me
And see what i've known for so long
It's sad that you can see
so lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that i've moved
I see you say, you don't approve
Guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
and summer girls that you enjoy
The melodys are better left on--

I feel the time pass away
but in my songs you'll aways stay
no need for you to tell me i'm the one
oh, no, no, no need for you to tell me i'm the one
you'll never know that I was the one

Lyrics for "This Time"
---------------------------------
ok guys, once again, im pretty sure that its not all right.
i know i some or most of it right, but a few lines are like a complete guess.

-------------------

Vanessa Carlton - This Time
--------------------------------

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for a thought to fade
And I'm flickering of all of my mistakes

And as the light start creeping in
I slowly feel the day i'm missing
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

And though i push you hard, I focus back
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know
That everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

The words triple in my head
The weight so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation

And only wanna do some good
And darlin' oh, if I could
And I just wanna feel the pain I'm in

And though I pushed you hard, and hard enough
And can I keep my big mouth shut
And you can lead the life that we should
Cause everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

And dinnertime, and watch the skin
It's just some girls in a panic
And if i tell you my truth, well am I getting through?
And then this thing is sure to stay
And who am I to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry
Cause everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

I'm hoping that im high
I know i'll be alright this time
ah, ah, ah
ah, ah, ah
Its 4 AM and i'm wide awake
Waiting for a thought to fade
And its times like these I see your face

Vanessa Carlton - Put Your Hands On Me
--------------------------------------------

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it wont ever change
This temp works to be alright if you call me
You call me

I lie awake at night for you, and I pray
we crawled this deep excursion
crawled down across the street
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me

and all the boys and ladys shine down on you and me
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me, oh no

I've traveled radios with you
we've barely met
and still i cross the street to your door
we gone on deep excursions
crawled down across the street
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me
and all the girls and riches shine down on you and me
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me

and they would adore reading books
the devils of love like this
where all the santas are all growin old
i thought that you could be king and
na na na na na na na na na
we climbed the steady mountains
where we could barely breathe
I see the stars around me
I feel them petting me
and all the common  riches shine down on you and me
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me
na na na na na na, no
Your hands on me
na na na na na na, no
I first saw you at the video exchange

Lyrics for "This Time"
---------------------------------
ok guys, once again, im pretty sure that its not all right.
i know i some or most of it right, but a few lines are like a complete guess.

-------------------

Vanessa Carlton - This Time
--------------------------------

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for a thought to fade
And I'm flickering of all of my mistakes

And as the light start creeping in
I slowly feel the day i'm missing
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

And though i push you hard, I focus back
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know
That everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

The words triple in my head
The weight so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation

And only wanna do some good
And darlin' oh, if I could
And I just wanna feel the pain I'm in

And though I pushed you hard, and hard enough
And can I keep my big mouth shut
And you can lead the life that we should
Cause everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

And dinnertime, and watch the skin
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if i tell you my truth, well am I getting through?
And then this thing is sure to stay
And who am I to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry
Cause everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

I'm hoping that im high
I know i'll be alright this time
ah, ah, ah
ah, ah, ah
Its 4 AM and i'm wide awake
Waiting for a thought to fade
And its times like these I see your face


I only made one change that I am sure of. I am questionable about the line before the change I made, too. There are a couple other spots, but for the most part everything is right. Good job Kulp! :thumbsup:

This temp [/b]work would be alright[/b] if you call me

I've traveled radios with you

Lyrics for "The One"
------------------------------------
please keep in mind, im pretty sure all the words arn't right, so i'm up for suggestions, of corse :-p
although I think I got most of them right =)

Vanessa Carlton - The One
----------------------------------

Holiday and I come home (something)
And boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the 80's show
The songs they play me more than I can say

And they play for me too
Won't you think of me when I play through
I'm kind of sad now that it's done

You make? my concious free
in all the ways you say to me
"Sweet virgin dove lets wait and see"

But you're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say "Isn't he a gifted son?"

Time is always passing by
And still I have to wonder why
You can't come to tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still, I'm not the girl you want me to be

the gravity and the bends of time
funny how you always liked your mind
but this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy
in this girl's heart that you destroy
you smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passing by
Still I give you another try
and hope that you will see
that i'm the one

the day is scared
will get you close
come and see how he knows
the day is now, at the show
you blend just in, just never spoke

And now you look at me
And see what i've known for so long
It's sad that you can see
so lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that i've moved
I see you face, you don't approve
Guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
The melodys are better left on--

I feel the time pass away
but in my songs you'll aways stay
no need for you to tell me i'm the one
oh, no, no, no
need for you to tell me i'm the one

you'll never know that I was
the one


This song is awesome :thumbsup:. There are still a couple rough spots, but overall Kulp made all of our jobs easy by being pretty much on and all we have to do is collaborate on the difficult parts  8)

Vanessa Carlton - The One w/ changes

Holiday, and I come home
Out to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you
Hope you think of me when it plays through
I'm kind of sad now that it's done

You think my time to free (what??)
In all the ways you say to me
"Sweet virgin dove lets wait and see"

But you're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say "Isn't he a gifted son?"

Time is always passing by
And still I have to wonder why
You can't come and tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still, I'm not the girl you wanted me to be

See gravity and bend the time (what??)
Funny how you always liked your mind
But this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy
In this girl's heart that you destroy
You smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passing by
Still I give you another try
and hope that you will see
that i'm the one

You say you're scared
To get to close
Come let's see how it goes
I see him now, at the show
7th in the 7th row

And now you look at me
And see what i've known for so long
It's sad that you can be
So lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that i've moved
I see your face, you don't approve
Guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodys are best left un--

I feel the time pass away
But in my songs you'll aways stay
Don't need for you to tell me i'm the one
Oh, no, no, don't need for you to tell me
I'm the one
You'll never know that I was
The one

This Time

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And a flickering of all of my mistakes

And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel the day i'm missing
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

And do i push too hard, I fall too fast
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know
That everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

Your words single? in my head
Weight so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation

And only wanna do some good
But darlin' oh, if I could
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in

And do I push too hard, not hard enough
And can I keep my big mouth shut
And do you lead the life that we should
Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away

And did i say too much again
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if i tell you my truth, well am I getting through?
And it just seems i started(? sound like shorted ?) fast
and who am i to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry
Cause everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

I hold my head up high

Okay, here are my suggestions for hands on me.

A couple of pedantic things in the first verse.

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me


An idea for the "decendants growing old" verse. What do you think?

some day when the stories are told
the devils of love like this
when our descendents are all growing old
A thousand years you'll be singing
na na na na na na na na na

Apart from that, it looks like we've got it nailed :)

I think the biggest problem we're having with these songs is acoustics, plus her voice (and accent, perhaps) just has a natural tendency to bend vowels.  E sounds like A and A sounds like O, or something like that.

Something's not sounding right here:

(We) crossed the deepest ocean
(To) go across the sea

The red words don't sound right, and plus, they make no sense.
I'm thinking "To" is supposed to be "Don't", but I'm not sure.  And "We" sounds like something that starts with a B. :?  :?:

The One
---------------
Holiday, and I've come home
Hope to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you
Hope you think of me when it plays through
It's kind of sad now that it's done

You think my time's for free
In all the ways you say to me
"Sweet virgin dove lets wait and see"

But you're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say "isn't he a gifted son?"

Time is always passin' by
And still I have to wonder why
You can't come and tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still, I'm not the girl you wanted me to be

The gravity, and bends of time
Funny how you always blanked your mind
But this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy
In this girl's heart that you destroy
You smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passin' by
Still I give you another try
And hope that you will see
That i'm the one

You say you're scared
To get too close
Come let's see how it goes
I see him now, at the show
7th in the 7th row

And now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
It's sad that you can seem
So lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that i've moved
I see your face, you don't approve
I guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodys are best left un--

I feel the time pass away
But in my songs you'll aways stay
Don't need for you to tell me i'm the one
Oh, no, no, don't need for you to tell me
I'm the one
You'll never know that I was
The one

---------------------------------------------------------

Put Your Hands On Me
------------------

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me

I lie awake at night for you, and I pray
We crossed the deepest ocean
To go across the sea
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me, oh no

The sun will radiate with you
We've barely met
And still I cross the street to your door

we crossed the deepest oceans
To go across the sea
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

Some day when the stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
A thousand years'll be singing
na na na na na na na na na

We climbed Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I see the Dalai Lama
I feel him blessing me
 
And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me
na na na na na, no
Your hands on me
na na na na na na, no
I first saw you at the video exchange
-------------------------------------------------------

This Time
----------------------

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And I flick a ring of all of my mistakes

And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel the day i'm missin'
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

I know I push too hard, I fall too fast
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know
That everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

Your words circle in my head
Now weight so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation

And only wanna do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the daze I'm in

And do I push too hard, not hard enough
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut
And do we lead the life that we should
Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

And did I say too much again
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if I tell you my truth, well, am I getting through?
And he just seemed too sure, too fast
and who am i to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry

Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

I hold my head up high
I know i'll be alright this time
ah, ah, ah
ah, ah, ah

Its 4 AM and i'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And its times like these I see your fate

o_O is this song about getting abused? or arguments at least.

Something's not sounding right here:

(We) crossed the deepest ocean
(To) go across the sea

The red words don't sound right, and plus, they make no sense.
I'm thinking "To" is supposed to be "Don't", but I'm not sure.  And "We" sounds like something that starts with a B. :?  :?:



nope.
its "to"
trust a fellow pennsylvanian :-p
Vanessa makes "to" sound like "ta"
same thing.

But "if I could fall into the sky do you think time would pass me" by does?


This relates back to the whole "gravity bends the time" thing.  Relativity is a recurring theme in Vanessa's songs. 8)

I don't think it sounds like "ta"; I think it sounds like "do", as in a female deer.  But the words that are listed as "We crossed" sound like "Be quoss".  Any ideas?

like in marriage, or engagement.
you know, guy says "wil you marry me" and gives the girl a ring to wear that is a symbol that says "i'm taken, this means im about to get married, or I am married" depending on what kind of ring it is.

The ones Katia posted are so clear!  Here are some things I can hear for sure now:

I only wanna do some good
To dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the daze I'm in

And the tape I made you (not "made for you")
Hope you think of me when it plays through
I feel kind of sad now that it's done

It's sad that you can be
So lovely, yet so wrong

We climb Tibetan mountains (not "the")
Where we can barely breathe (I believe it's present-tense)

I am definite on all of these!  And if I'm not, I'll boil Vanessa's socks and drink the broth! :razz:
I know, it doesn't count if I would do it anyway.

i still say its "And only wanna do some good"
you're right on the too dumb to know & daze part.
 :)

theres no "feel" in that line, so it cant be "i feel kind of sad now that its done"

It's sad that you can be
i still think its seem, i just dont hear "be"

and you're totally right on the 'put your hands on me' stuff.

How about

I only wanna do some good
Just gotta know, if I could
but i don't know, if i could?

These mpgs are way clearer! :) I think we're both wrong on that line. Still open IMHO.

But how about this? Fits well contextually.

And if I tell you my truth, well, am I getting through?
And it just seems I should confess
and who am i to pretend?

That line is so owned.

I'm taking another crack at the songs now that we have the better audio. For some reason I'm finding transcribing lyrics far more fun that the other things I should be doing.

Put Yor Hands On Me
===============

I lie awake at night and for you, I pray
we crossed the deepest ocean
to go across the sea
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me

The summer radiates with you
we've barely met
and still i cross the street to your door

Some day when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
A thousand years I'll be singing (Or maybe "years'll, but I'm sure it's not "we'll". Not that it matters)
na na na na na na na na na


Also. This isn't a definite suggestion. But let me throw this into the mix.

we crossed the deepest ocean
cargo across the sea
and if you dont believe me
just put your hands on me

Kind of stupid, but it does sound like it. Kulp might be right about the accent and "to go" though. But then again zurielshimon was right that "to go" is a bit nonsensical. Meh.

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And I flick a ring of all of my mistakes

And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel the day i'm missin'
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

I knew I pushed too hard, I fall too fast
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know
That everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

Your words circle in my head
Now weigh so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation

And only wanna do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the daze I'm in

I knew I pushed too hard, then hard enough
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut
And do we lead the life that we should
Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

And did I say too much again
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if I tell you my truth, well, am I getting through?
And he just deemed I should confess
And who am I to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry

Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

I hold my head up high
I know I'll be alright this time
ah, ah, ah
ah, ah, ah

Its 4 AM and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And its times like these I see your fate

i think itz
"and it just seems i should confess"
and itz definitely "days im in" not daze cuz in the beginning she talks the day shes missing
and i still think itz "i knew i'd push too hard" not "i knew i pushed too hard"
lol sorry to be a perfectionist. ive been listening to them constantly and this is what i hear, but i could be wrong.

And he just deemed I should confess (i hear a sss sound before "deemed")

The One

In this girl's heart that you destroyed
yes, destroyed makes more sense, of course :D

This Time

And I flick a ring of all of my mistakes (this does NOT make any sense)
well what else makes sense that could go there, that relates to the song? cause if its not that then i have no idea  :?
how doesnt it make sense? she made a mistake by getting engaged and she wants to leave him, but she "cant just walk away this time".
she made a mistake, because they're always getting in fights: "And did I say too much again
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if I tell you my truth, well, am I getting through?
And he just deemed I should confess
And who am I to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry
"
And weigh so heavy on my chest
i hear "now" or "and the". i dont know :?

And I just wanna feel the day's I'm in
ok :)
I knew I'd push too hard, not hard enough
ok then
And he just deemed I should confess (i hear a sss sound before "deemed")
could it be the S in juSt ?  :roll:
well i just think it's that because, it goes along with my argument theory above. the line means, the guy thinks hes right and shes wrong, and he wants her to lie to him so he can feel better.  hmm, well i guess 'it just seems' would also work there. anything's possible :?

Edit:
I agree w/ Nicole... on every part she mentioned.

don't ever use that yellow-ish color again, it is hideous ;)

hola

B and I have made quite a few updates and we now think we're closer to where we want to be... the latest and complete versions will remain on the main site @ www.nessaholics.com/lyrics.php

Direct links that B posted:
This Time (http://www.nessaholics.com/lyrics.php?s_id=69)
Put Your Hands on Me (http://www.nessaholics.com/lyrics.php?s_id=70)
The One (http://www.nessaholics.com/lyrics.php?s_id=71)

Now, for my sanity please go through the lyrics on the main site for accuracy.  IF you want something changed please (pretty please!) use the following format...

Song Title
Old Lyric Line
New Lyric Line

For example:
Put Your Hands on Me
Old: You call me
New: You'd call me

That way it is easy for others to go to the song, look for the line, and decide whether or not they want to agree and then we can have a discussion about that one part instead of a bunch of random lines all over the place.

Thanks!

itz definitley "to." i specifically remember her saying that live. i was soaking it all in lol.
oh and it should be
sweet versions of "let's wait and see" just with lets wait and see in quotes, not the whole line. kinda like he's non verbally saying it by never fully giving his heart but leading her to believe he will someday. lol get it? sorry im obsessed with this song.

Some may disagree with me, but I hear something different in the line from Put Your Hands on Me that everyone says is "to go across the sea."
It's sounds to me like she's saying "go" but with a different word in front of it. And the word in front of it kind of sounds like it has an "r" in it. Just wondering if anyone else agrees with me here.

Post by: KULPDOGG on June 21, 2005, 10:29:54 am
I can see how some people might think its "cargo", especially the first time she says it. the T sound is light when she first says it. and a long 'A' can sound like an R. and i guess the 'c' just came from your mind wanting it to be there :-p

anyway, the 2nd time she sings it. the "T" is very clear and louder.

like I said earlier, you're probally expecting to hear her say "to" pronounced properly, with an 'O' sound"
and since you don't hear that, you expect it to be a different word.
but, like I said, sometimes people say 'to', and make it sound like "ta" this is very common in my area, where Vanessa grew up :-p


so in conclusion, i still think its 'to go across the sea'. :)

wow the recordings from June 21st's show are extremely better.

The One
---------------
Holiday, and I've come home
I hope to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you
Hope you think of me when it plays through
Feel kind of sad now that it's done

You think my time's for free
In all the ways you say to me
Sweet versions of "lets wait and see"

But you'll always be a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say "isn't he a gifted son?"

And time is always passin' by
And still I have to wonder why
You can't come to tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still, I'm not the girl you want me to be

The gravity can bend the time
Funny how you always liked your mind

But this whole thing is crushing me

And you'll always be a golden boy
In this girl's heart that you destroyed

You smile at me and then you have your fun

And time is always passin' by
And still I give you another try

And hope that you will see
That i'm the one

You say you're scared
To get too close
Come let's see how it goes
I see him now, at the show
The 7th in the 7th row

And now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
I'm sad that you could be
So lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that I've moved
I see your face, you don't approve
I guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodys are best left un--

I feel the time pass away
But in my songs you'll aways stay
Don't need for you to tell me I'm the one
No, no, no, don't need for you to tell me
I'm the one
You'll never know that I was
The one

---------------------------------------------------------

Put Your Hands On Me
------------------

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You call me

I lie awake at night, and for you, and I pray
We crossed the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me, oh no

The subway radiates with heat
We barely met
And still I cross the street to your door

We crossed the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

Some day when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
A thousand years will be singing
na na na na na na na na na

We climbed Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I see the Dalai Lama
I feel him blessing me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me
na na na na na na, no
Your hands on me
na na na na na na, no
I first saw you at the video exchange
-------------------------------------------------------

This has nothing to do with the lyrics here, but the ranking lyrics....um when you get to 3000 posts your rank becomes "Keepin' secrets at midnight" and then it says that it comes from Private Radio, but Private Radio doesn't even have those lyrics in them!!!  I am so confused, where did those lyrics originate from?!?!?! :?

And I'll be more than happy to fit you with a pair of them!   8)
Seriously, I have a really good full-concert video of her performance in Nashville in March, which was the first "successful" live performance of "Private Radio".  PM me if you're interested.  I'm only asking for my bottom-line costs.

Best Behavior

Always on your best behavior
Why'd we break up?
Can't remember why
And I was so polite
Couldn't look you in the eye

I go back to that afternoon
The way we kissed
And it ended too soon
What did I say?
I didn't mean to push you away
With anybody else it never feels true
How can I explain what I been going through?
No matter what I do it's only you

Every hand hold interlocking
Late night stay up
Softly talking words
I remember the sweetness of your voice

I go back to that afternoon
The way we kissed
And it ended too soon
What did I say?
I didn't mean to push you away
With anybody else it never feels true
How can I explain what I been going through?
No matter what I do it's only you

I go out and drink to your health
And I go home ???

So I sing this song in faith it finds you
? a hope the kind you can't forget
But I'm still holding on
Maybe we can still be friends

I go back to that afternoon
The way we kissed
And it ended too soon
What did I say?
I'll never push you away
With anybody else it never feels true
How can I explain what I been going through?
No matter what I do it's only you

Meet me there in that afternoon oh
The longest day
The 21st of June oh

What did I say?
I'll never push you away
With anybody else it never feels true
How can I explain what I been going through?
No matter what I do it's only you
No matter what I do it's only you


We should discuss  :wink:.

OLD:
I go out and drink to your health
And I go home ???

NEW:
I go out and drink to your health
And I go home, I only hurt myself

OLD:
So I sing this song in faith it finds you
? a hope the kind you can't forget

NEW:
So I sing this song in faith it finds you
Have a hope the kind you can't forget

OLD:
What did I say?  (x4)

NEW:
Well, what did I say  (x4)

... just a few suggestions to get the ball rolling. I hear a bunch of extra "and's" in there, too.

perhaps?

theres some other things i thought (like adding some "and"'s, and maybe changing one "the" to "that"), but I can't be sure now, so I'll just wait for another recording. 8)

great song  :D really amazing :)
