Crimes Lyrics
And there's a fire on
Junk Island where
They send the garbage
Is anybody listening?
After work we'll watch
The Seaguls diving in
And out of
The lashing towers of flame
It twinkles like a pile
Of rotten jewels left
To bake in the sun
Is anybody listening?
And we're just like those
Condom wrappers
Used up
Torn up
Thrown away
And we're just like
Yesterdays headlines
Drifting
Floating
Towards the blaze
And if we rob the
Liqour store we could
Be in Tijuana
By the crack of dawn
And if we rob the
Mayors mansion
We'd pawn his modern art
And ma-a-ake a fortune
And if we rob the
Lonely widow
We'd steal her credit cards
And buy a cottage by the ocean
And we could swim out
To Junk Island
We'll burn up like those
Seaguls and Whiskey bottles
Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooh(many times)
We're scrapped Valentines
We're tangerine Rinds
We're Crimes, Crimes, Crimes, Crimes, Crimes (4x)
And the children
In the subway
Eating apple cores
Is anybody listening?
They're breathing paint
Out of plastic bags
Their mumbled mouths say
Is anybody listening?
Uh Ooooh Oh
Ohhh Oh
Junk Island where
They send the garbage
Is anybody listening?
The Seaguls diving in
And out of
The lashing towers of flame
Of rotten jewels left
To bake in the sun
Is anybody listening?
Condom wrappers
Used up
Torn up
Thrown away
Yesterdays headlines
Drifting
Floating
Towards the blaze
Liqour store we could
Be in Tijuana
By the crack of dawn
Mayors mansion
We'd pawn his modern art
And ma-a-ake a fortune
Lonely widow
We'd steal her credit cards
And buy a cottage by the ocean
To Junk Island
We'll burn up like those
Seaguls and Whiskey bottles
We're tangerine Rinds
We're Crimes, Crimes, Crimes, Crimes, Crimes (4x)
In the subway
Eating apple cores
Is anybody listening?
Out of plastic bags
Their mumbled mouths say
Is anybody listening?
Ohhh Oh

I got the CD about a month ago, and this is all deciphering by hearing. I'm not even sure if this is the name of the song or not (it was a blank CD-R with 19 tracks on it, of which only 13 made it to the final album) But considering he says "Crimes" in this song I figured what the hell.
SO don't flame me if anythings wrong, it's because I don't have the lyrics sheet infront of me, b*tches(but if you do, PM the correct ones, or type it in as a comment and i'll change 'em).
These lyrics look pretty damn right on the spot, nice job. I can't wait to get the cd.
where can i find the other 5 songs not on the real cd?
*6 songs
AIM me i'll send you them, but some of them are just filler, like the last two are just a small guitar riff, and some synth noise. But, there is a great acoustic sing along song which didn't make it to the CD, but I hope it's a secret track or something 'cause it rocks. And there's another version of the song minus the whole valentines/heavy part.
DUDE WHAT THE FUCK, POST THE REST OF THE CD IF YOU HAVE IT!!!!!!
DUDE I CAN'T 'CAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY SONG WHERE THEY DON'T SCREAM, THEREFORE THE ONLY ONE I CAN FIGURE OUT THE LYRICS TO. CAPITOLS.
good job on the lyrics they look great. i tried to do this with some other songs on the disc but got nowhere lol. The cd is amazingbut not as good as piano island. Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck is brilliant, I can't wait to read those lyrics
i believe it's "tangerine rhines" like the peel of an orange. it kind of sounds like "we'll stab their insides with tangerine rhines" but i'm 99% sure i'm wrong. but i'm positive about rhines.
nah, listen to it with headphones and not from anything else(i find it easier to pick up lyrics like that). And even though the blood brothers make songs that usually don't make sense(lyrically) the whole stabbing people with tangerine's is kinda weird. But who am I to say, we'll have to see when the CD comes out hopefully with a lyric sheet.
