| Cass McCombs – Meet Me Here At Dawn Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It looks like these were taken off of cassmccombs.com here: http://cassmccombs.com/lyrics/ I was really happy to see this section of his website, imagining that I could get accurate lyrics "straight from the horses mouth," however, these are clearly incorrect. If you listen to the song, he without a doubt says things that make way more sense, ie: "this is a test of TRUST" (trust is very clear in the recording) "we'll give them up" is said in some of the places where it says "just give them up" "I'm gone as light as shot, whether you come or not" "forget" not forge, and it also sounds like "path" not "past" I think the logical nature of the recorded lyrics suggests that these edits aren't made by McCombs after the fact to "improve" the song, because in my opinion these alternate lyrics are far worse than the recording... I understand this is a wiki, and I will make the obvious corrections. |

| Robert Wyatt – Mob rule Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Plans are unveiled the press informed Residents muttered their doubts and fears at meetings A brace of councilors voiced concern Some assent was murmured There were advisers and expert guidance had been sought Whom to trust? Who could know just what that meant? Expert? people are so ungrateful it's quite hard on chairmen directors of planning must be given the right to make plans just as say, the woodworm must bore so too advisers must advise. |

| A Silver Mt. Zion – I Built Myself a Metal Bird Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This kind of reminds me of the end portion of "Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)". I see this as from the point of view of someone flying some sort of aircraft ("metal bird") and being too high and disconnected from the actual act of murder during a bombing run. They are "virtueless in he white smoke" of the craft as they watch the "little star" explosion of the impact. Just my interpretation. p.s. waiting anxiously for someone to post the lyrics for the rest of the songs on this album, haven't yet ordered my vinyl copy. |
