---a question about the lyrics thread

[Dancernl]

I'd just like to comment that in Papa I could SWEAR she says "moonshine," which is what I always thought she said but lyrics I've read say "emotion"... anyone agree?

yes, jump a few pages back, it's already been caught

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
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 on the eve of 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
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 in San Francisco
San Francisco

hmmm, it looks like the only words that changed were "and you tell me I am home" /
"talking in the Mission " unless that's really what she said before, i dont know.  ...what is "the mission" anyway?
anywho, I love this song  

[KULPDOGG]

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

the Mission is a neighborhood in San Fran, if i remember correctly it's sandwiched between SoMa and Haight/Ashbury (or Castro). anyways it's considered the latino neighborhood.

[czarina]

It is my secretly (?)
I dont think its secretly but I cant figure out what it IS
Two things that went through my head were my secret me or my secret need.

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

...

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

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

[KULPDOGG]

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

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, we should change it to ICU.
