---a question about the lyrics thread

[iKnowWhatYouDid]

aww i'm bummed! i liked the lyric "the summer radiates with you"- that's honestly what i thought it was. :-)

kelley

same. i think that sounds better. but subway's good too i guess.

[zurielshimon]

Well, her explanation mentioning urban life tends to suggest it, too.

[liquidblue244]

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?!?!?! :?

she changed the lyrics and sang those live on tour.

edit:  katia..with the quickness  

[liquidblue244]

Thank you for clearing that up, I haven't ever seen her live so maybe that's the problem.....

there are boots!

And I'll be more than happy to fit you with a pair of them!  
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:

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.

[badsrx7]

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


i thought it sounded like.. "and i go home, i hope you're in my bed"

perhaps?

[iKnowWhatYouDid]

i thought it sounded like.. "and i go home, i hope you're in my bed"

perhaps?

hmm.. i still here "i only hurt myself"

[KULPDOGG]

ok so I went over it

and from the only recording of this song I have, everything typed out already looks great, i only found 1 little thing.

heres the whole song typed out, as correct as it can be for now.:

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.

For private radio in my musicbook it says


When the night comes
(Tomorrow may' no one will ever know)

[PianoLover24]

from the songbook:

White Houses....First verse
Old: I hold on to your secrets
New: I hold on to her secrets

White Houses..."maybe i'm alittle bit over my head" part
Old: But I hold on to your secrets
New: But I hold on to his secrets
