[KULPDOGG]

Lyrics: (working progress) EDIT: look for my more final version below

anything you might think differently on, please don't hesitate to post! 2nd opinions are always welcome!

wow, the recording isn't too great, 8O  but I'm going to try my best, I'm going to need a lot of help on this one, especially from the people who heard it live for themselves (If anyone has any other recordings, PLEASE SHARE!!!)

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places

They build when I laugh with dissappointed faces
And you can't help me
Frightened by these

Heroes and theives in my door
I can't even tell them apart anymore

Just when I figured out
Well darling it's you I'm without

Well I'm stubborn and wrong
But it makes some noise
Moving along, you'll buy western with

Maybe this song is the best I can do
I think surely, waiting on these

Heroes and theives in my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore

Just when I figured out
Well, darling it's you
Well, darling it's you
Well, darling it's you I'm without

And I'm burning
Gliding, gliding
In an hour
I'll miss and I see
I'll try harder
Then I can't fly without you
Ah

da da da

It seems like I'm getting closer to you
A flicker of peace that I finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
Cause I could make it

Give me a year or two
And armed in my way
Achieving the stakes
And when I'll be with you
Darling, show me
When I can't see

I'll be comming back
I'll be comming back for you

These heroes and theives in my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured out
Well darling it's you
Darling, it's you
Darling, it's you I'm without
Ah

yeah...we just started working on them as well...will post out version later

[NoelleNC]

Wow, I really don't like it =\ I was hoping for some angry, bass hand thumping stuff more in the vein of wanted or swindler for a song called "heroes and thieves" ... instead it's like another version of This Time. Not a fan of these type of lyrics. And too much "fluffy" piano for my taste


^^edit: I feel really mean saying that. Um, I still like Vanessa as an artist, but hopefully this will be like Pretty Baby and Afterglow were for me- the one song on the album I really did not like.

[PutYourHandsOnMe101]

I like this song..... it is refreshing and creative  

[Martin.]

i love this song

[clamicas]

thanx for the lyrics.

btw, that song is really easy to play on the piano.
too bad I don't have any software to transcribe it  :cry:

[Ivy Lynne]

This is what me and Brian got...


Well, diaster it strikes on a daily basis
Looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
I still wanna laugh (??with??) disappointed faces
You cant help me blinded by these

Heroes and thieves at my door
Cant seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when Ive figured it out
Well, darling its you Im without


Well, Im stubborn and wrong
But it gets unnoticed
I keep moving along
and hope I can get through this
Maybe this song is the best I can do this
I think surely, waiting on these

Heroes and thieves at my door
Cant seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when Ive figured it out
Well, darling its you
Well, darling its you
Well, darling its you Im without

And Im burning
Gliding, gliding

Ill miss and I see
Ill try harder
Then I cant (?? fly or find lol) without you

It seems that Im getting closer somehow
A flicker, of peace that Ive finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
If I could need it

Give me a year or 2
And Ill mend my ways and see these mistakes
and when lll be with you
Darling trust me, when I cant see
lll be coming back
lll be coming back to you

Heroes and thieves at my door
Cant seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when Ive figured it out
Well, darling its you
Well, darling its you
Well, darling its you Im without

[BWilli]

im pretty content with what we've come up with...its slightly different that andrews, but much closer i feel (minus the question marks)

[NoelleNC]

Hmmph. Everyone seems to love this song but me. Maybe I will like it the more I hear it.

[clamicas]

Hmmph. Everyone seems to love this song but me. Maybe I will like it the more I hear it.

I understand what you mean, but I think there will be some angry bass hand in other songs of the next album. it can't be all soft and slow.
but I still like this song,specially her voice

[*V_Pixie*]

Its beautiful

[ordinaryday6]

[KULPDOGG]

Well, darling it's you I'm without

And I'm burning
Gliding, gliding
In a low life
I'll miss and I see
I'll try hard to
Then I can't fly without you
Ah

It seems like I'm getting closer to you
A flicker of peace that I’ve finally found
