Telegraph Avenue Kiss (Demo) Lyrics
She is the song that you tried to sing
Another note that you couldn�t hit
So you locked her up in a music box
Turn the key on all of us
She�s got silver strings in the dark
With metal teeth that ring in her heart
When the cover drops the world just fades
Away away away from her
Waiting waiting waiting for her
To sing it
Doesn�t matter what you say
Doesn�t matter what you think you need
You know our love�s not unconditional
A book of matches and a cigarette
A love note that you never sent
You can fold it up but you won�t forget
You can strike a match but it still might not light
Now I�m the one that�s stuck inside, the silver cage
The bird that can�t fly away
Clip it�s wings if it sings of the
Way the way the way that it hurts
waiting waiting waiting for her
To sing it
Doesn�t matter what you say
Doesn�t matter what you think you need
You know our love�s not unconditional
Doesn�t matter what you say
Doesn�t matter what you think you need
You know our love�s not unconditional
The music box is open
It�s spinning with the room
If you�re the record playing
I'm needle in the groove
Listen to us now
you�re in my heart, in my hands, in my lungs
we move like a carousel, streaked lights and mirrors in our eyes
it�s time to let this go
can�t stop spinning around[x10]
you know our love�s not unconditional
unconditional love, unconditional
you know our love�s not unconditional
Another note that you couldn�t hit
So you locked her up in a music box
Turn the key on all of us
With metal teeth that ring in her heart
When the cover drops the world just fades
Away away away from her
Waiting waiting waiting for her
To sing it
Doesn�t matter what you think you need
You know our love�s not unconditional
A book of matches and a cigarette
A love note that you never sent
You can fold it up but you won�t forget
You can strike a match but it still might not light
Now I�m the one that�s stuck inside, the silver cage
The bird that can�t fly away
Clip it�s wings if it sings of the
Way the way the way that it hurts
waiting waiting waiting for her
To sing it
Doesn�t matter what you think you need
You know our love�s not unconditional
Doesn�t matter what you think you need
You know our love�s not unconditional
It�s spinning with the room
If you�re the record playing
I'm needle in the groove
Listen to us now
we move like a carousel, streaked lights and mirrors in our eyes
it�s time to let this go
can�t stop spinning around[x10]
unconditional love, unconditional
you know our love�s not unconditional

Basically to me this song is about using someone else, but it's not horrible but you do really love them for it...
there were two spots where I didn't know what he said, if anyone does, I'd welcome the input.
I'm not sure but i'm pretty sure at the first (?) he is saying "in her heart."
and at the second part (?emphasis?) i believe he says "clip it's wings if it sings..."
With melody that ring in her (heart*)...
Clip it’s wings (if it sings*) of the...
So this song is pretty fucking amazing, I really hope they put this on the new CD. The part where Geoff goes "you're in my heart, in my hands, in my lungs" is great, I love that part. His voice has improved so much. I cannot wait till May when this CD comes out.
I'm pretty sure those lyrics arent right...
I got this when i wrote down the lyrics
She's the song that you tried to sing Another note that you couldnt hit So you locked her up in a music box Turned the key on all of us She spins silver strings in the dark With metal teeth that ring in her heart When the cover drops the world just floats away [x3] from her Waiting [x3] for her to see it
Doesnt matter what you say Doesnt matter what you think you need You know our loves' not unconditional
A book of matches and a cigarette A love note that youll never send You can fold it up but you wont forget You can strike a match but it still might not light Now I'm the one that's stuck inside the silver cage The bird that cant fly away Clip its wings if it sings of the way [x3] that it hurts Waiting [x3] for her to see it
Doesnt matter what you say Doesnt matter what you think you need You know our loves' not unconditional
Doesnt matter what you say Doesnt matter what you think you need You know our loves' not unconditional
The music box is open, its spinning with the room If your the record playing I'm the needle and the groove Listen to the sound Your in my heart In my hands In my lungs We move like a carousel Streaked lights and mirrors in our eyes Its time to let this go Can't stop spinning around [x11]
You know our loves' not unconditional Unconditional love, unconditional You know our loves' not unconditional
I made the appropriate corrections. You've got a good ear. I should've noticed some of those lyrics earlier.
thanks :)
there's still a few mistakes i made here and there of course, its really hard to understand Geoff because the quality isnt that good since theyre demos.
this song made it on the new cd....it's called Telegraph Avenue Kiss...just wanted to fill you in.
I think its about that the singing person is in love with some1 but that person doesnt love him back. THey just wanne stay friends or something but he wants more 'THe love is not unconditional'
You can fold it up but you won’t forget You can strike a match but it still might not light Now I’m the one that’s stuck inside, the silver cage The bird that can’t fly away
this bit refers to how he can try to hide the fact that he's in love but it wont go away and that he can try to get a relationship going but it just wont happen etc. Thats what this song means to me
the new version of this song is so much better.
I love this version 10000x better than telegraph, the chorus is much more meaningful, and I don't dig the spelling shit out. "doesn't matter what you say, doesn't matter what you think you need, you know our love's not unconditional" is an incredibly powerful verse and I'm really upset that they took it out. Whatever, I fell in love with the demos anyway, there's no changing my mind.
