Fairweather Friend (lyrics & your thoughts)

[Fred_Saboya]

there's not any line with "fair-weather friends" in those lyrics. i think she really should keep the bridge like "my fair-weather friend. my fair-weather friend."

I think it will still be there.
it sorta sounded like she was humming it a little maybe. and also right when she was supposed to sing it she messed up, so i think she just stopped herself.

I donno...

i hear "pour the vodka and it dulls sharp eyes" (which makes sense in the context of reading something you don't want to believe?)

I distinctly remember us getting the lyrics to the song cos divasteph had gotten a photo of the lyrics on the piano!http://forum.nessaholics.com/index.php?topic=12327.60

So I'm gonna have to say sharp knives.  

EDIT: Just read the older posts and realized that alot of people are still figuring this out and are not that young to this forum to already know the above information.

But still.

Yeah. I'm sticking with the knives story. It's believably poetic for Vanessa. ;-)

those typed out lyrics were just for that day =P she's dramatically changed the lyrics since then.

I'm going to say it MIGHT be "diamonds on rings" however with everything else I'm still not convinced. haha

I always sing it as diamond band rings. Ahhh I need a studio version of this song now!

I've given up.  I don't even have the newer version downloaded yet because I like the older one better.  So I'm just going to wait until the studio version comes out to sing it!

I know this is really random, but I was listening to the new live version of this song (which I LOVE btw) along with the lyrics, and I just have one little insignificant correction: I'm pretty sure the vodka line is: "Pour the vodka, and it dulls sharp lies."

I'm still using the original lyrics. They were the best, in my opinion. D; "Dulls sharp knives" sounds more poetic than lies. Much more figurative. xD

Ehh, nope.

I like the idea of vodka dulling sharp lies and sharp eyes.  Things seem less important (lies) when you're drunk, and it also blurrs our vision both figuratively and literally.  I think it fits, but as I've said before, I'm not going to make any guesses as to what she is actually singing until I get the lyrics from the official CD in my hot little hand.

I agree haha. but yeah, ill just wait for the lyrics booklet

[04jhowarth]

Everyone's discussing the 'diamonds' line, I believe it to be 'diamonds on leaves' and hear that when I listen carefully, also backing this up is the introduction from the University performance when she's talking about her friend/aunt moving and writing a farewell speech including a Sylvia Plath poem

So yeah

Diamonds on leaves
