| T. Rex – Cat Black (The Wizard's Hat) Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Oh, now I see. These are the lyrics to a different Marc Bolan tune. The lyrics I put up (which for some reason appeared twice) are for the Tyrannosaurus Rex tune "Catblack (The Wizard's Hat)." My bad. | |
| T. Rex – Cat Black (The Wizard's Hat) Lyrics | 6 years ago |

Could these lyrics be more wrong? Here's the lyrics for the actual song: Catblack the wizard hat Spun in lore from Dagamoor The skull of jade is pearl inlaid The silk skin spun repels the sun A tusk of boar with Dwarfish awe Sobs on the door where stood before A mountain man with sky-blue teeth Upon his head a python wreath A deer he slew in the dawning's dew Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old But his kiss he held & shadowed for the spell of nights are strong & spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song Catblack the wizard's back Daubed in doom in his tongue-tombed room We of the wind must rejoice & speak & kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek |

| The Monochrome Set – White Lightning Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
These are the lyrics: Flash your eyes or you'll be dead There's a skull inside your head Strobe lights dance across the floor Someone guides you to the door Stars from fountains burn your eyes Amber jet trail lights the sky If you make it, you will find There's something new inside your mind All I see from where I lie Are rainbow colors in the sky When the clouds begin to part White lightning strikes your heart Faces flicker into smiles Standing still you've travelled miles Voices whisper from behind Close your eyes or you'll go blind All I see from where I lie Are rainbow colors in the sky When the clouds begin to part White lightning strikes your heart I am red & I am blue & I am purple, I am green I am gold & I am silver I am everything I am good & I am bad & I am happy, I am sad I am up & I am down & I am all around Liquid flowing through your skin Leave your head or you'll give in To strange gifts from Medusa's hand Visions you don't understand All I'll see from where I lie Are rainbow colors in the sky When the clouds begin to part White lightning strikes your heart |

| Banbarra – Shack Up Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
It's heartbreaking to see badly transcribed lyrics for such a tremendous funk tune (one covered famously by Mancunian postpunk band A Certain Ratio), so I present the actual lyrics (except for the one section I can't make out) below: ----- Wipe out the problems of our society Shack up! Shack up! Is that we can live together baby, unless we ? ? ? Shack up! Shack up! We can love together, work together, sleep together Shack up! Shack up! So why can't we live together & shack up baby, shack up? We can talk about the wedding ceremony Shack up! Shack up! & I know it's just a phony Shack up! Shack up! Marriage is a big commitment, yeah Shack up! Shack up! That you might find hard to live with Shack up! Shack up! I love you now, but that don't say I'm gonna love you forever Shack up! Shack up! 'Cause I don't believe in alimony or divorce Shack up! Shack up! So I think we should just split the cost & shack up, baby, shack up! ---- I can't figure out the second line - some online sources (like the one above) have the line "unless you can feel the heat." But it sounds more like "unless we man bee bee." So it might be that. But it's hard to make out, as the background singers sing "shack up!" over it. It's definitely not "make a baby," as some lyrics sites have. I am very surprised how many people miss the "alimony or divorce" line. It makes the most sense! "Alimony all day long" doesn't make any sense at all. |

| The Flaming Lips – The Ceiling Is Bendin' Lyrics | 7 years ago |

These lyrics are incorrect. The actual lyrics are: Well, it's midnight in a liquor store in Texas on Halloween Salvador Dali watches from his window in a dream Jesus is a rock star who destroys all he sees Godzilla is a cowboy who is dressed up as a queen She isn't as depressed as she used to be Come on over here, my dear Well, I hold my head real still so I can't see very far They got all these Vietnamese heads stuffed into jars They got all these things that make them look like they're way in They use polythene plastics on their bods instead of skin She isn't as depressed as she used to be Come on over here, my dear If I had someone to talk to, well I wouldn't mind so much But it takes so long to get there; can't remember where I was & I wouldn't mind to talk to you Even if I could The ceiling is bendin' on my telephone Everything's gettin' weird & my skin falls from my bones |

| The Waterboys – The Lake Isle Of Innisfree Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
This is The Waterboys' version of the William Butler Yeats poem. The original poem goes like this: I will arise & go now, & go to Innisfree, & a small cabin build there, of clay & wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, & live alone in the bee-loud glade. & I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, & noon a purple glow, & evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise & go now, for always night & day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core. |

| Neil Young – Pocahontas Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Is it just me, or does Neil Young in this song imply that Pocahontas was a prostitute? That she would sleep with anyone for pelts? I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but why else would he need to give a thousand pelts to sleep with her? I've listened to this song a million times & today this line stood out. So weird. |
|
| The Pogues – Hot Dogs With Everything Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Hot Dogs With Everything was the name of Shane McGowan's first band. This Sex Pistols homage appears on the soundtrack to the film "Sid & Nancy." It doesn't sound much like a Pogues song at all. But it's a delightfully filthy romp worth looking up - & anyway, the soundtrack also has the (in my opinion) superior version of "Haunted," with Cait O'Riordan vocals. |

| Denim – It Fell Off The Back Of A Lorry Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I added these lyrics tonight because, after admiring this song for years, I finally understood what it meant. Maybe it's because I am American & was misled by the word "lorry." In my heart, I knew it meant "truck," in the same way that "lift" means "elevator" or "knackered" means "tired." But the context escaped me. Tonight, though, playing this song for friends in the context of Britpop I love, it all clicked. "It fell off the back of a lorry" is the same as "it fell of the back of a truck." As this Urban Dictionary link explains: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fell+off+the+back+of+a+truck to say something "fell of the back of a truck" means it's probably stolen, but it's a lame excuse you'd give a cop. That's why the singer of this song addresses the "Officer." He's explaining that the stuff he has is not stolen, but it just fell off the back of a lorry. Not only that, he wants the officer to recognize that the kids who swiped the goods (with him?) were just making a mistake - their first. Lawrence even enlist the kids, who sing the "Oh, Officer!" lines to convince the servant of the law. But it sounds like they're all going to jail. It fell off the back of a lorry! What a terrible excuse. (I feel so dumb for not figuring this out sooner.) |

| Big Star – You Get What You Deserve Lyrics | 8 years ago |

The above lyrics are incomplete. Here are the entire lyrics for the song: Try to understand what I'm going through Don't blame me for what folks will do For some of us, it's not a good time But you're going to get used to it, you'd better resign yourself You get what you deserve You ought to find out what it is worth & you've gotta have a lotta nerve You just do what pleases you & go on & sign out every move You're gonna get place in the scene All God's orphans get face in the dream Now, you get what you deserve You ought to find out what it is worth & you've gotta have a lotta nerve Too bad Such a drag So much pain Down the drain A lot of us ain't got many friends Try to understand what I'm going through But don't blame me for what folks will do For some of us, it's not a good time But you're going to get used to it, you'd better resign yourself You get what you deserve You ought to find out what it is worth & you've gotta have a lotta nerve You get what you deserve |

| Elvis Costello – American Without Tears #2 (Twilight Version) Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
These are the lyrics for the version of "American Without Tears" that appears on "King Of America." The actual lyrics for this song are: December 1965 in Caracas When Arnie LaFlamme took his piece of the pie When he packed up the casino chips, the IOU, & the abacus & switched off the jukebox in a "A Fool Such As I" He was a leg man who was open to offers But he couldn't get her off his mind as he passed the tourist office & as he entertained himself singing just like Sammy Davis Junior He toyed with a trip to Miami For money like that He could have sweet talk in your ear Now they don't speak any English Just American without tears It was an idea that he dandled on his knee & nursed it like his coffee cup when he couldn't find any other way It always seemed to come to him while the day was dipping down & sun was like a light bulb being swallowed by a clown He took her for everything, he took her for his only one He took her out of Coventry & over to Idaho But the war wound that he carried home wasn't really visible When the bullets were forgotten, she lived dowdy, down, & miserable & she seemed to be crying for year after year & said, "You don't speak any English Just American between tears." "Arnie," she said to me, "Will you turn down the radio? You haven't slept a wink since we came to Havana. When're you gonna get the strength to go over to Florida? All you ever listen to is 'The Voice of America.'" It was the story of a young English poppet Who took up with a soldier boy & thought she would profit Just like me she found out what true love is about Anyway, she's in New Orleans; it would never work out Oh, she seemed to be crying for year after year Now you don't speak any English Just American between tears Just American without tears For you seem to be crying for year after year Now you don't speak any English Just American without tears Just American without tears |

| Lloyd Cole – Tell Your Sister Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"Rue Morgue Avenue" kinda bugged me the first time I heard this song, since "Rue Morgue" is not just a reference to the Edgar Allan Poe story, "The Murders In The Rue Morgue," but also in French the word "Rue" means "Street." So it initially annoyed me that Lloyd Cole, who doubtless knew better, was saying (in translation) "Morgue Street Avenue." But I soon discovered, since I hadn't yet been immersed in Dylan, that Cole is paying homage to a line from "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues." Which is: Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue Somehow the fact that he's riffing in a way on a Dylan lyric made this okay, for me. |

| Close Lobsters – Let's Make Some Plans Lyrics | 9 years ago |

The first line of the song is "Let's make some plans 'cause they can go wrong." Not what's written above. The idea isn't that all plans go wrong, but that they can go wrong. Because they're made by humans. |

Astronaut is spelled - well, like that. Astronaught is a funny way to spell it, if you feel what they do up there is all for naught. The third line is "It wore a purple tracksuit."

| Mirah – LC Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| A lovely tribute to Leonard Cohen, using imagery fans of his will find very familiar. | |
| Leonard Cohen – Bird on the Wire Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I much prefer it when LC sings this song live, mainly because he changes the lines: "If I If I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you" to: "If I If I have been untrue I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar, too" In my experience, in my shabby, ramshackle experience in love, the latter just resonates more closely with what I've felt, known, & suffered. The first one - "it was never to you" - that's more storybook romance. & it feels far more dishonest than the line admitting that lovers, by their nature, are liars. (He has changed that line possibly more than twice. I have a bootleg in which he sings: If I have been untrue I know that I've never fooled you A little more confident, but still honest.) |

| Anne Clark – Heaven Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
These lyrics are incorrect. They are the lyrics to the song "Heaven" by Warrant. Here are the lyrics to Anne Clark's song: Every day is heaven Moves further & further away Familiar blue eyes I once knew Turn a colder shade of grey Every day is heaven Moves further & further away Familiar words we used to share Seem so difficult to say & I am alone In a world of cold flesh, cold steel, cold stone I close up like a clam & shut the world out with the slam of a door To shut out all the fighting, all the hatred, all the war You just cannot stay calm When your soul screams less But someone always wants more What for? Every day is heaven Moves further & further away Familiar blue eyes I once knew Turn a colder shade of grey Every day is heaven Moves further & further away Familiar words we used to share Seem impossible to say Every day Every day Heaven moves further & further away Every day Every day Heaven is moving further & further away Every day Every day |

The original album didn't come with a lyrics sheet, & I'm not sure where revontulet got these lyrics, but I've always heard the lines: & so she ate half of that Now she can see in the dark As: & so she ate half a light Now she can see in the dark It makes a little more sense - in the song's sexually perverse, drug-addled world, anyway. |

| California Oranges – Olivia Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
The Olivia in this sweet & wonderful tribute is Olivia Newton-John, the English-born Australian pop star whose heyday was the late 1970s/early 1980s. The song references several of her high points: She had a song called "Hopelessly Devoted To You." The "muse on roller skates" in the summer of 1980 was Olivia in the movie "Xanadu." & the reason a young woman would want to crop her hair & wear leg warmers might be to look like Olivia in the "Let's Get Physical" video. Songs like this always make me wonder if the subject ever heard it. I bet it would make the California Oranges happy if they knew Olivia Newton-John had heard this song! |
|
| California Oranges – John Hughes Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This is a lovely tribute to a filmmaker that spoke to people of a certain age through a handful of teen-related movies in the 1980s. From Sixteen Candles to Some Kind Of Wonderful (referenced in this song), Hughes managed to touch on teen angst while also making it funny, moving, & fantastical (Ferris Bueller, of course). I transcribed these lyrics from listening. The first line is probably correct, referencing the suburb of Illinois where Hughes set many of his comedies. The only line I am very uncertain about is "My TV tells me she's the one." I can't hear what he's saying - & if he's making a John Hughes reference, I'm not sure what exactly it is. |

| The Lucksmiths – Only Angels Have Wings Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This song is about an historical event in the United States' Cold War history: the atomic bomb exploded on the Bikini atoll in 1946 was said to be graced with an image of Rita Hayworth. (It wasn't on the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, but we can forgive Marty Donald his alliteration.) Though reported on extensively at the time (Orson Welles, who was then married to Hayworth, noted it in a report, without mentioning she was his spouse), the story began to take on the elements of a legend due to many of the details being part of government classified information. This is doubtless how Marty Donald heard the story, & perhaps why he suggests that Hayworth's likeness was on the Hiroshima bomb. I checked online, & discovered that someone had already done the research, & found the image on the bomb, which you can read about & view here: http://conelrad.blogspot.com/2013/08/atomic-goddess-revisited-rita-hayworths.html |

| Bob Dylan – You Changed My Life Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I'm interested in fellow who calls himself "IDoKnowTheMuffinMan," who transcribed these lyrics, because he left off Bob Dylan's last interesting simile, which I reproduce here (& which is available for you to listen to in the first Bootleg Series release): "You came in like the wind Like Errol Flynn & you changed my life" Does it bother someone who may be Christian & wants to believe the Bob feels the same way to compare the savoir of humankind with a philandering Hollywood legend? I have to ask. Because the fact that the Bob does it is both insults the Christian faithful but also belies his own sense of awesomeness. |
|
| Elvis Costello – From A Whisper To A Scream Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
If you're puzzled by the line "the one over the eight seems less like one and more like four," I can explain. "The one over the eight" is British slang for one too many beers. The idea is that eight beers is enough to get you sufficiently soused. The "one over the eight" is the one that turns you into a falling-down, blackout drunk. So Elvis (or in this case, Glenn Tilbrook, who sings the line) is saying that it doesn't feel like he's had just one over the eight, he's so drunk it feels like it's been four too many. |

| Sprites – Following Her Around Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Wow, yeah, the person who wrote these lyrics does not know his/her indie bands. (It sounds to me like the record store is named "Vinyl Link," but I don't know this for a fact.) "These were the records she found & she held & she lingered on: The Fun Boy Three, Air Miami, then Kraftwerk Considered the Soft Boys but opted for Bandwagonesque George was still around then & he said 'Have you heard the Hit Parade record yet?'" Also, her Karmann Ghia would have had stickers by the Connells & Ministry. (Bandwagonesque in the the breakthrough hit record by Teenage Fanclub, duh. I would've gone with the Soft Boys myself.) |

John Prine explains the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFD2wZaBciY More than that, though, this song changed my life. I was consumed with anger over a situation in my life, & this song appeared - I stumbled onto John Prine - & it told me what would come. I saw myself indeed growing weak & bitter, becoming my own prisoner. It was a strange & coincidental alarm warning me that I was going to be trapped in a chain of sorrow. It saved me. As music always has. |

| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Sad Waters Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I find it interesting that no one has read this as a love song to the Virgin Mary, who would most certainly have seduced someone's soul. As well, if Nick Cave is a "hostage of your child's world," that child would of course be Jesus. You could imagine that if her son can turn water into wine, surely an immaculately conceived tease like Mary could as well. I had a friend who put this on a mixed tape a long time ago to a girl named Mary, but when I thought about it - maybe because I had just read "And The Ass Saw The Angel" &/or maybe because Nick Cave borrows Leonard Cohen's technique from "Joan Of Arc" (speaking the lyrics while also singing it - LC does it only in the first verse, Nick Cave does it throughout this song) which is another love song to a religious icon, I always saw this as an anguished love song to a spiritual figure that he cannot, will not possess. That is how I've always heard it, anyway. |
|
| Heavenly – Itchy Chin Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
According to the Urban Dictionary, an "itchy chin" is "when someone says something that you don't believe, or that you know... isn't true." I suppose it comes from the skeptical look one might have when scratching one's chin. It must be a British idiom or colloquialism; I have never heard it in the United States. There's an incorrect lyric above in the second stanza, which should read: "How the hell did you INFER FROM that that she's leaving you?" |
|
| Momus – Nicky Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is Momus' translation/rewrite of the Jacques Brel song "Jackie." "Nicky" is the affectionate diminutive of Momus' real name, Nicholas Currie, as "Jackie" is short for "Jacques." He attempted to convey Brel's sense with references that English audiences might understand, like Cliff Richard & Julio Iglesias. & though he lightly mocks David Bowie, he ends the song with quotes from Ziggy Stardust's "Star." I don't speak French, but for comparison, he's the English lyrics of Jackie from the 1960's show "Jacques Brel Is Alive & Well & Living In Paris": & if one day I should become A singer with a Spanish bum Who sings for women of great virtue I'd sing to them with a guitar I borrowed from coffee bar Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you My name would be Antonio & all my bridges I would burn & if I gave them some they'd know I expect something in return I'd have to get drunk every night To talk about virility With some old grandmother who might Be decked out like a Christmas tree & tho' pink elephants I'd see I'd sing the song they sang to me About the time they called me Jackie If I could be for only an hour If I could be for an hour every day If I could be for just one little hour Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way & if I joined the social whirl Became procurer of young girls Then I would have my own bordellos My record would be number one & I'd sell records by the ton All sung by many other fellows My name would then be Handsome Jack & I'd sell boats of opium Whiskey that came from Twickenham Authentic queers & phony virgins I'd have a bank on every finger A finger in every country & every country ruled by me I still know where I'd want to be Locked up inside my opium den Surrounded by some Chinamen I'd sing the song that I sang then About the time they called me Jackie If I could be for only an hour If I could be for an hour every day If I could be for just one little hour Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way Now tell me wouldn't it be nice That if one day in Paradise I sang for all the ladies up there & they would sing along with me We'd be so happy there to be 'Cause down below is really nowhere My name would then be Jupiter & I would know where I was going & then I would become all knowing With my beard so long & flowing If I became deaf dumb & blind Because I pitied all mankind & broke my heart to make things right I know that every single night When my angelic work was through The angels & the devil too Would sing my childhood song to me About the time they called me Jackie If I could be for only an hour If I could be for an hour every day If I could be for just one little hour Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way |

| Squeeze – Pulling Mussels (From The Shell) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I am not entirely sure about the sexual stuff (though I can see it) but I do know that in interviews Glenn Tilbrook & Chris Difford refer to this song as "Pulling Muscles For Michelle," so perhaps it's about a young Chris Difford trying to show off to a girl he fancies that he has met on holiday. I dunno, but it's a great song. |
