I'm personally shocked some of these can't be found anywhere online, I've searched up and down for them all a couple times now. The John Farrar tracks have the lyrics printed on the liner notes for the LP, but they're not in the CD version.  "Sad Souvenirs" has been covered by many people, and I thought it was well known, but apparently not enough to interest someone in typing up the lyrics.

Be happy to try.  I'll try Ray Parker Jr. - "Can't Keep From Cryin'" 

I will gladly take a couple for you Chucky.
I'll take all of the "B" ones to start, if you like!

take any and all that you want >grin<

I did about a dozen of these (not listed) before I realized it was way more fun than I wanted at the moment.

The three that are striked-out, I think I have lyrics sheets for.  I did find the two Roachford songs, but the HSR one I'm not positive of.

If anyone does ten, I'll make a gold note >grin<

Ok then - I will gladly start with the B's and if it gets to be too much "fun" for me I will let you know! ;D

Box of Miracles - Barefoot Servants

Ooooooh

Oh yeah!

Was a poor boy I knew well
Threw his dreams down a wishing well
Oh good times I do reminicse
Like those summer nights I could not miss, But I
Fell in love with a tattooed angel
I broke my heart but you never can tell
I don't regret what might have been
Cause what you lose comes back again

Sometimes
Sometimes
There's a whole in the box of miracles
Shining it's light on me
Yes!

I booked a seat on the Fortune Queen
Sailed from Charleston to New Orleans
My head was wound, my clothes a mess
But I took some comfort, I confess
In the arms of a brown eyed girl
Her skin was shining like a pearl
I can't regret what might have been
Cause what you need comes back again

Sometimes
Sometimes
There's a whole in the box of miracles
Shining it's light on me
Know what
Sometimes
Sometimes
There's a whole in the box of miracles
Shining it's light on me
Yes!

<break>
<guitar solo>

Oooooh

Yea sometimes
Sometimes
There's a hole in the box of miracles
Shining it's light on me
I know sometimes Woo!
(Na na na na na) in the box of miracles (yeah)
Shining it's light on me.

*made a couple of changes from the one I emailed you Chucky! ;)

The Passion of Love - Boys Brigade


The passion of love
Is buring inside of me
The pain of desire
Is nothing to hide away
And when you're in love
And when you're afraid
And when you're alone
Hear me call
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing as dear
As the passion of love

The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love

Love is a dance
Romance is a trance
It makes my head spin
Love is a drink
On too much to drink
And I can't dance
And when you're in love
And when you're afraid
And when you're alone
Hear me call
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing as dear
As the passion of love

The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love

<synth interlude>

The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love
The passion of love

excellent... gave you your "Badge of Note"

in case anyone else does some, post them in the thread.  That way I can grab them at work where the drive I save these is.

Roachford - Family Man

You used to be a rogue and that's no lie
Couldn't care if you lived, couldn't care if you died
Gettin' high, gettin' drunk - out with your gang
Man, you were so bad they should've made you hang
Used to be a swinger and that's no lie
You had umpteen women all at the same time
Never had no money but you lived like the rich
Poncing all your money off a some poor bitch
But now ho-woh oh oh
Now you're tryin' to be a family man
(Listen up now)

You used to be a rogue and that's no lie
Couldn't care if you lived, couldn't care if you died
But then you met a girl by the name of Sue
She looked just like your mother - she was badder than you
Nine months later you were totally changed
I saw you go to church to be born again

Now you're tryin' to be a family man
I said oh - woh oh oh
Now you're tryin' to be a family man
There's no way out, there's no turning back
So keep it in the family

Roachford - Give It Up

I said "Yeah" - I said "All right"
I said "Yeah" - I said "All right"

(listen) if you own a car that won't start up in the mornings
And you push it into work everyday
Then you got to trade it in - get yourself a new one
'Cause sentimentalism doesn't pay

Now if you got a lover that don't give you all the loving
That you feel is due to you
Don't just sit around - hoping for a blessing
This is what you got to do

Give him up - give him for somebody new
Live it up - live it up with somebody new

Everybody say "Yeah"  "All right"
                    "Yeah"  "All right"

Give it up - Live it up with somebody new
Gotta give it up - live it up with somebody new

When you've taken second place to the television
And you've given up trying to compete
There's a queue outside your door of knights in shining armour
Reaching halfway down the street

Now you've got desire burning like wild fire
Burning deep inside of you
It won't be too long until start to smoulder

Give it up - Live it up with somebody new
Gotta give it up - live it up with somebody new

Human Sexual Response - 12345678910

We're here at last
Just you and me alone
We just got back
And no one else is at home
Your eyes are glazed
As if you're in a trance
I read your mind
It only takes a glance
Now turn me on
And I'll respond to you
Like an animal
But that's not really true
If humans could leave
Well enough alone
Then a moan would mean
The scene we've always known

Mo ma mon amana
O nama non anona
Mon ama na no ama
Anoa na namoa
Na oana ma mo ma
Nano moa non a mon
O maoan ananam
Which means
I want to I don't want to
I want to I don't want to
I want to I don't want to
I don't want to repeat
The times we tried to compete
The times I followed you home
The times you screamed on the phone
Every desperate thing I did
Will haunt my memory 'till I'm dead
Look at all that I've been through
Trying to get the best of you

So here we are
It's you and me alone
The lights are out
And no one else around
Your eyes are black
I don't know who you are
You're next to me
But somehow you're too far
Now turn me on
And I'll respond to you
Like a human being
But that's not really true
Let's just this once
Leave well enough alone
And our screams will mean
The scenes we've always known
Let's just this once
Leave well enough alone
Let's just this once
Leave well enough alone

Coats - Blue Aeroplanes

Note this down

You're unlovable
And have nothing anyone could possibly want

But you're sweet
And your blue blinking eye distracts
And your, little tapping foot distracts
And you wear this coat

I'll put it on for you
You show how to take it off

???
it's a warm evening
I ran all the way almost three miles for this
Take my coat I'm running out
You always put on too many clothes on
What are you afraid of?

Is it, is it winter again?

Is it winter again?

Is my hand inside your coat?


I definitely need help with this one!

ETA: I tried a few more times and I still cannot get the second part. Apologies!

ChuckyG: I figured out a few more.  It's so fast, so muffled, and so British I'm stumped

Spanish Dances - Bob Welch


Spanish dancers in the night
Working up their steps alone, Oh Yeah!
Beyond the circle of the fire
The fight to have her has begun

You've crossed the line
You can't return
You've sealed your fate
Because of her
So cross your heart
And hope to die
Tonight!

On the west side they are waiting
If you're a man you will be there
Who's that watching from the window?
For those who win, are those who dare

You just
Follow the angel
Follow the cursed
Follow the purist Spirit
But get there first
Cause all the Spanish Dancer...
Yeah!
She gonna be yours

Spanish dancer in the night
She's making up her steps alone, Oh yeah!
Some may stare but I don't care
So many want to take her home

Cause you are not the only one
And you must fight to have her love
Cause the streets are mad
Bad, bad, bad
Blazing guns

Will you wake up right beside her?
Will you live to tell the tale?
You follow her down narrow side streets
There's a chance that you'll get nailed

You just
Follow the angel
Follow the cursed
Follow the purist Spirit
But get there first
Cause all the Spanish Dancer

She'll be yours!
Yeah
Oh yeah!
Making up her steps alone
She's dancing
Turnin'
All alone
I'll be on the side road
I wanna take her home, I wanna take her home now

_____________

Done, but I think the 2 words I have in bold might be incorrect. This is the only word I cannot figure out 100%

Susan and I listened to it, I thought Holy at first, but Susan says purist, which it sounds like to me now as well.

After hearing a clip of that Ray Parker Jr song, I don't think that will be something I can pick up.  Where can I hear Coats - Blue Aeroplanes?  I'm listening too all of them I can find right now to see if I can pick up some words.  Whale ft. Bus 75 - "Four Big Speakers (Live)" made me think Howard wouldn't mind watching it.

I looked everywhere for it girl - but what I will do is upload the track and post it here - gimme a bit and you can download it! ;)

Here you go - available for download for 7 days or 100 times!

ahh, you saw the same clip on Swedish TV I did... whoever was picking the cameras to show should be shot... 

I know for fact I can't transcribe the first woman's lyrics (the rap) because I generally can't make out words when they're spoken that fast.

oddly the album version lacks something (aside from the video footage)

if there's any you want to do, just send PM me an email address that can take attachments and I'll email them to you.  

Girls - Dwight Twilley


Well I've seen so many things
I've been all over the world
Well I've been upside down
But did it all for a while
I thought I knew everything
Between the bad and the good
I guess I was wrong because I misunderstood about

Girls
Girls

Well when I was young
My daddy sat down with me
he said a good life is hard
If you don't know what you need
Well, I guess he was right
Because the way that it's been
There's still one thing I just can't understand and that's

Girls (they want you to tell them that you love them)
Girls (they're soft and they're warm when you hug them)
Girls (they'll tease you and hurt you when you need them)
Girls (they'll cry when you say that your leavin')

Tell me what I told you
Tell me what she tells you
Tell me what you want to

Woooo!

Well I've been so many places
I just shouldn't be
But then it felt so good
That it was torture to leave
They say you can't live without them
But can you live with
I'm just one man but I'm shaking a fist at those

Girls (they want you to tell them that you love them)
Girls (they're soft and they're warm when you hug them)
Girls (they'll tease you and hurt you when you need them)
Girls (they'll cry when you say that your leavin')

Girls
Tell her that I love her
Tell her I don't love her
Tell her what you want to

Girls (they want you to tell them that you love them)
Girls (they're soft and they're warm when you hug them)
Girls (they'll tease you and hurt you when you need them)
Girls (they'll cry when you say that your leavin')  x2

no, I saw it on youtube a little while ago and would love to catch up with what they're saying.  Maybe try lip reading where I can.  I'd do all of them if I could, but know I wont be able to.  From  youtube so far, it sounds like Tubes - "Satellite" is something I can pick up.  Might be able to do Russ Ballard - "The Fire Still Burns".  

Captain Sensible - Come On Geoffrey Brown

Geoffrey, Geoffrey
Button your lip
Standards lately are starting to slip to the floor
And you'll be out the door

Geoffrey, Geoffrey
Here in this job
We dress smartly not like a slob
You're a sight
And something isn't right

Come on Geoffrey Brown
Come on Geoffrey Brown

Geoffrey, Geoffrey
Get in your car
All this biking won't get you far
And what's more, that's against the law

Geoffrey, Geoffrey
You're a disgrace
All this talk about people in space
Is a blip
Have you been on a trip?

Come on Geoffrey Brown
Come on Geoffrey Brown

You've gotta work until your heads in the ground

Come on Geoffrey Brown
You're upside down
Come on Geoffrey Brown

And Mr Brown
See you around
Some day
And don't you frown
You will astound
What's that you found?

Geoffrey, Geoffrey
Geoffrey, Geoffrey
Geoffrey, Geoffrey

Come on Geoffrey Brown
Come on Geoffrey Brown

Guitar solo

Come on Geoffrey Brown
Come on Geoffrey Brown
You've gotta work until your heads in the ground
Come on Geoffrey Brown
You're upside down

Come on Geoffrey Brown!




The on-line version of the song I found only let me listen to it once all the way through so I missed a couple of lines.

ChuckyG:  I gave it a listen and figured them out, thank you very much

Russ Ballard - The Fire Still Burns

The fire still burns
The world it keeps turning
Your eyes don't see
Hearts that keep yearning
The flame it still grows
The heat it ain't fading
On the ground
The ashes left laid in
So you think
'cause I don't scream
That I don't the see the pain
While I breathe
I can dream
The time will come again

Ooooh, the fire still burns
Ooooh, the fire still burns

Inside my shoes
A fear that keeps moving
To find their way
Ask what I might prove in
The lonely heart
Still it keeps searching
There's no hiding place
To waste the time go in
So you think
though I see
That I have no choice
While I breathe
I'll take my pen
And I will use my voice

Ooooh, the fire still burns
Ooooh, the fire still burns

Ooooh, the fire still burns
Ooooh, the fire still burns

Ooooh, the fire still burns
Ooooh, the fire still burns

Don't you know that I see
You think I have no choice?

As long as I breath
I will take my hand
and I will use my voice

still burns, still burns
still burns, still burns
still burns, still burns

still....
burns....

still burns, still burns
still burns, still burns
still burns, still burns

Pretty sure this is what they're singing... One line (in italic) I can't make out, no matter how often I listen to it. Might be some sort of expression that I don't know of. Furthermore it's hard to distinguish his "her" from "ya" at times.


Northside – Take 5

thanks... I gave it a listen and made a few adjustments.  I think I got the line right that were wondering about.

Yeah, makes more sense that way. ;)

Gary Myrick - She Talks In Stereo

Four Tops - Sad Souvenirs

One love letter filled to the brim
with your heartless lies
One tired old worn out handerkeif
I used to dry my weeping eyes
These things are all I have left
of a love I built my world around

And their sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One tired old empty dream
That will never ever never come true
One battered broken heart
Misused by you

These things are all that I own
These things are all
A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One thousand lonely lonely nights
One thousand tears I shed in vain
One thousand little silent prayers to have your love again

These things are all I have left to look forward to
Darling since I lost you

A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
One broken letter, filled with lies
Old worn out handerkeif to dry my eyes
Lonely nights, empty empty tears
Sad sad sad souvenirs

Marvin Gaye - Sad Souvenirs

One love letter filled to the brim
with your heartless lies
One tired old worn out handerkeif
I used to dry my weeping eyes
These things are all I have left
of a love I built my world around

And their sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One tired old empty dream
That will never ever never come true
One battered broken heart
Misused by you

These things are all that I own
These things alone
A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One thousand lonely nights
One thousand tears I shed in vain
One thousand little silent prayers to have your love again

All I have left to look forward to
Since I lost you

A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
Oh baby
One broken letter, filled with lies
Worn out handerkeif to dry my eyes
Lonely nights, empty tears
Honey they're sad sad souvenirs

Susan and I listened to it, I thought Holy at first, but Susan says purist, which it sounds like to me now as well.


I had Holy at first as well, but it just didn't seem to make sense, then after listening to it over and over again, I changed it and gave up lol

One more from me. And again, one line that I'm not entirely satisfied with (in italic).


The Truth – Exception Of Love

(Ooooh) (4x)

In my reflection
I pull up emptiness
All that surrounds me, yeah,
Are visions of sadness
Is this situation
Beyond our control?
No words can be spoken
To bring your love from the cold

Chorus:
(Ooooh) I’m a-falling
(Ooooh) And I’m a-tumbling down
(Ooooh) I can have everything
(Ooooh) With the exception of love

Is just being good friends
The reason you’ve behaved
Without love and affection
Surely our truth will fade (?)
It’s leaving me lonely (lonely)
Tearin’ away my soul
I just can’t see through
A love I can’t control

Repeat chorus

Left in these open spaces
Still I’m stumblin’ blind
Without you here

(Ooooh)
(Ooooh)
(Ooooh)
(Ooooh) Exception of love

Left in these open spaces
Still I’m stumblin’ blind
Without you here

Repeat chorus

(Ooooh) Exception of love
(Ooooh) Exception of love
(Ooooh) Exception of love
(Ooooh) Exception of love
Everything (Ooooh) (Exception of love)
I can have everything (Oooooh) (Exception of love)
Exception of love (Ooooh) (Exception of love)

Oh, just FTR: I didn't know any of the songs on your list. Now I know two.

Oh, just FTR: I didn't know any of the songs on your list. Now I know two.


heh.... yeah, I'm sure most people don't know them well.  Some are Boston area bands, a couple 90s modern rock tracks, and some new wave stuff. 

Captain Sensible - The Kamikaze Millionaire (live)

He's in a chauffeured car with his agenda
and a cell phone in his hand
another tv franchise in the blender
it's a deal that he did
with some assests he hid

The kamikaze millionaire
He's raking in the lions share
His satellite is in the air
He'll probably join the whores
Who sleep in the house of Lords

He'll remedy a falling circulation
With a daily expose'
Morality and bingo for the nation
And a girl for your wall
Wearing no things at all

The kamikaze millionaire
He's raking in the lions share
His satellite is in the air
He'll probably have a dream
Of buying your favorite team

The kamikaze millionaire
He's raking in the lions share
His satellite is in the air
He'll probably join the whores
Who sleep in the house of Lords

The kamikaze millionaire
He's raking in the lions share
His satellite is in the air
He'll probably join the whores
Who sleep in the house of Lords

The kamikaze millionaire
He's raking in the lions share
His satellite is in the air
He'll probably have a dream
Of buying your favorite team

Classic Ruins - 1+1 less than 2

She can break the windows and you won't even care
She can have hysterics and you'll act like she's not there
Who do you blame when all of your dreams come true
And one and one adds up to less than two

Ruin me and I'll ruin you
One and one is less than two

She'll chase you down the hallway, she'll throw you out the door
She'll get your head on the sidewalk while you're neighbors cry for more
But how could they ever blame all that on you
And one and one adds up to less than two

Ruin me and I'll ruin you
One and one is less than two

But nobody wants to blame all that on you
And one and one adds up to less than two

Ruin me and I'll ruin you
One and one is less than two

Sam & Dave - Use Me

Use my hands
Let me rub you down
When your back is aching
Use my soul
Let me soothe you
When your heart is breaking
I don't mind
Just take your time
and baby, use me, use me

Use my feet
and let me walk a mile
and bring you cake and candy
Use my lips
Let me say sweet words
Girl go on and send me
I can't help myself
Put me up on your shelf, anytime
Use me, use me, use me
Tie me in a love knot
Put me in your love bag
Way up around your neck
And you got the best loving you ever, ever had


Use my feet
and let me walk a mile
and bring you cake and candy
Use my lips
Let me say sweet words
Girl go on and send me
I can't help myself
Put me way up on your shelf, anytime
Use me, use me, c'mon mama, use me, use me
I want you to use me
In the morning
Use me
In the evening
Just use me
The midnight hour
You've got to use me
C'mon and use me
Won't you use me
Use my hand
Use me
Use my heart
C'mon and use me
Use me

Sam & Dave - Born Again

Ooohh...
Hey hey
Yeah
That's how I'm trying to do the thing
You act like you feel it
You ought to see what I do when I do this part
Go ahead
La la la la da la la
Ha ha, I like that
Dig this
Ok

Feel like a new man
With the whole world in my hand
Stop doing what I used to do
Spend all my time loving you
Oh baby feel like I'm born again

???
Stay out all night time
But you kept on loving me
Believing one day I would see
Oh baby, like I'm born again

How does it feel Dave
It feels good

Listen
How lucky
Must I be
I was blind as a bat
but now I see
You could have cheated on me
If you wanted to
But you stuck by me
and stayed in my corner

Singing a new song
I got a new walk
Your name pops up everytime I talk

Feel like a new man
With the whole world in my hand
Stop what I used to do
Spend all my time loving you
Oh baby like I'm born again
Oh baby like I'm born again

I've been loving you
Oh I feel just like I've been born again
I feel like a new man
It's so good to have someboyd there
I just want to say I love you baby
I love you, I love you, I need you
You make me feel alright
Oh I feel just like I've been born again
I liked to say baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You got me feeling all right
I I I I
Feel like a new man...

I tried my luck at "Four Big Speakers", but I clearly overplayed my hand there. ;D The rap is indeed too hard to follow (for me, anyway).

So instead I give you The Tubes – Satellite, with one line that has me puzzled (as usual).

I sit alone most every night
Watching tv on the satellite
Watching Showtimes on MTV
Good reception, and it’s all for free

You paid for cable, but it never worked
You’d be paying till your wallet hurt
You buy a dish, you finally cut the cord
You’ll still be lonely, but you’ll never be bored

Chorus:
I wanna be somebody
Pick up the key of the satellite ( ??? )
No pay tv, it’s all for free
Do it to me on my satellite
(Oo-ooh on the satellite)
You can see everything you like
(Oo-ooh on the satellite)
You and me on the satellite

People tell me that there’s more to life
Than 50 stations and some satellite
I don’t listen to the things they say
I feel life in a brand new way

Chorus

I sit alone most every night
Watching tv on the satellite
Watching programs that you never see
Good reception, and it’s all for free

(Oo-ooh on my satellite)
You can see anything you like (on the satellite)
(Oo-ooh on the satellite)
You and me on my satellite
(Oo-ooh on my satellite)
Oh baby be – on my satellite
Incomprehensible ad-libs
(Oo-ooh on my satellite)
(On my satellite)

(repeat last two lines and ad-libs to fade)

I was trying to do the other Captain Sensible one today but couldn't get it to download.  First it suggested I might need a newer version of Real Player which I duly downloaded.  But it still wouldn't download and none of the suggested reasons seemed to apply.

Ooohh...
Hey hey

I'd love to help you out there, but I don't have the song. And it's not on your list anymore.

I'll try one-but I can't do it until Sunday (if that is ok). Just let me know which one (and give me a copy of it) and I will do my best.



Cat

check the list, I already did it and deleted it from the server.


I was trying to download it around 10 this morning.  So I think that was before you posted the lyrics here?

Okay, I don't think there's going to be any songs I'll be able to pick up any words in, but maybe the Rubber Radio one.  I'll be able to do it right now: crazy weather? further hearing loss? both?. 

I was trying to download it around 10 this morning.  So I think that was before you posted the lyrics here?


you're right... you should save it to your hard drive before playing them, not sure they'll play right if your playing them off the server.

I also recommend WinAmp over Real Player any day.  I wasn't even aware Real Player was still being updated.  It used to be so bloated with ads and other crap it was considered the scourge of the Internet.

Currently working on "Shifting". I hate it when I can't decipher one or two words/lines from a song. >:(

Here it is. No matter how hard I try, I can't come up with a complete transcription. Annoys me to bits, but what can I do? Maybe you can fill in the blanks yourself.


Catchers – Shifting

I could jump these fields in these heavenly boots
Walk trails in shade and ghosts, place tracks in my devil shoes
And crawl invisibly across your roof
I could just about fade into every home
Where I wouldn’t be seen
I can melt into the trees
Raise their juices right out to their leaves

In a dream I was transformed
Left my bones outside the door

I could be furred or feathered or shelled or fleeced
Could be any man or every beast, rollin’ with the breeze
I could be a scissor or a spare razor
I can take to the air
I could take out to the sea
Without lungs or limbs to hold me here
I could be a keeper with every key

In a dream I was transformed
Left my bones outside the door

Every day I’m shifting further from myself
I feel the pull, I start to soar, my skin is shed
Lay me down and I’ll spiral to my head
Every day I feel a little strange

Smoked a hole in my lungs and it started to bleed
Go put on some gloves made out of meat
And I can hear the water
I can hear the water swell inside me

In my dream I was transformed
Left my bones outside the door

Every day I’m shifting further from myself
I feel the pull, I start to soar, my skin is shed
Lay me down and I’ll spiral to my head
Every day I feel a little strange

Every day I’m shifting further from myself
Every day I’m shifting further from myself
Every day I’m shifting further from myself


ChuckyG says: I think I've fixed them all.  It's hard, because it's clearly about dreams and thus the lyrics are a little bit nonsensical. The first paragraph reminds me of a story about a trail left in the snow which people thought was left by the devil because it appeared on roof tops and disappeared through houses.

Henk says: added a line from the 1st verse that was gone lost while you were working on it.

So because I couldn't figure that one ^ out, I worked on another one at the same time. Same problem though: one line missing.


Missing Persons – I’m The One

Burning – in secret ways
One step closer to the edge
The pleasure and the pain
Screaming – a silent shout
Where and when can we connect
So we can take it out

This is so real
So real
This is so real
Can't see what the facts are
So real
Everything I’ve asked for

I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you need
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one

Your two eyes – cut like a razor
Show me what’s behind them
And do us both a favor
Illusion – will disappear
Baby listen to your heart
And tell you what I hear

This is so real
So real
This is so real
Can't see what the facts are
So real
Everything I’ve asked for

I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you need
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one

Feel so real
Feel so real
Feel so real
Feel so real
Feel so real
Feel so real

I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one that you want
I’m the one that you love
I’m the one
I’m the one
I’m the one
I’m the one – that you love
I’m the one – that you need
I’m the one – that you want
I’m the one – that you need

ChuckyG says: I changed it to what I think it was.

Tried to fill in some of the blanks (I've bolded my addition). See what you think of it.


Coats - Blue Aeroplanes

Note this down

You're unlovable
And have nothing anyone could possibly want

But you're sweet
And your blue blinking eye distracts
And your, little tapping foot distracts
And you wear this coat

I'll put it on for you
You show how to take it off

Put your suit down - I like
it's a fun evening
I ran all the way to see if you would drive three miles for this
Take my coat I'm running out
Ah, you always put on too many clothes
What are you afraid of?

Is it, is it winter again?

Is it winter again?

Is my hand inside your coat?

Another one done, but this also needs some fixing. With the lyrics making no sense at all, it's anyone's guess as to what he's actually singing on the dots. Apart from that, the guitars drown out the singing at some point.


Lotion – Marijuana Vietnam

Sugar weed it’s new punch
You can do two things at once
As you sway between the breathers
All the angels comin’ down
Here to all you round town
Tired of being your little sister
Leaping back and for a while
Come and live in our square mile
With two words he made you cry

You’re the only reason I come here
I didn’t think I’d find you sleeping
I took the trouble,
I took the trouble to …………………..…. ???

College opens up your mouth
Just to watch them all fly south
You can still be in our movie
If my letter still sounds queer
Now I’m gone and you’re still here
Left before I said goodbye

You’re the only reason I come here
I didn’t think I’d find you sleeping
I took the trouble,
I took the trouble to ………………………. ???
You’re the only reason I come here
I didn’t think I’d find you sleeping
I took the trouble,
I took the trouble to …………………..…. ???

Some truth has ……………… ???
The words to  …………….……  cut your losses ???
There’s a Greyhound
I want to tell you something else
Just one more station, then I know that we are (gone)

You’re the only reason I come here
I didn’t think I’d find you sleeping
I took the trouble,
I took the trouble to ………………….…. ???
You’re the only reason I come here
I didn’t think I’d find you sleeping
I took the trouble,
I took the trouble to ………………….…. ???

One line I couldn't get in the chorus.

Rubber Rodeo - "Souvenir"


The days are hot and the nights are black
and to just keep on moving and I don’t look back.
I'm just a-running away.
Yes, I’m just a-running away.
You can burn your bridges. You can tear them down.
You can hide somewhere where you will not be found.
It will still be there.
Yeah, it will still be there.

Just a souvenir.
Just a little thing to say you're here    
Well, I got myself a souvenir
and its been here from the start.
Just a souvenir
to remind me that you're always near.
Just a silly little souvenir
and its here inside my heart.

When times get tough and things go strange
There's still one thing that will never change or fade away.
No it never fades away.
Doesn't matter where I go
because there is something here
and it won’t let go
it’s just a-pulling me.
Yes, it’s just a-pulling me

Just a souvenir.
Just a little thing that says you're here.
Well I got myself a souvenir
I got myself a souvenir
and its been here from the start.
Just a souvenir
to remind me that you are always near
just a silly little souvenir
and its here inside my heart.


Just a souvenir
Like a picture
Fading through the years
I can always find my
Souvenir
'cause it's here inside my heart.


I never thought that I would stay this long
But it sure does look like I was wrong
Because here is what I found.


Just a souvenir.
Just a little thing that to say you're here
Well I got myself a souvenir
I got myself a souvenir and its been here from the start.
Just a souvenir

Just a silly little souvenir
and its here inside my heart.

Just a souvenir.
Just a little thing that says you're here
Well I got myself a souvenir
I got myself a souvenir and its been here from the start.
Just a souvenir
To remind me that you are always near
Just a silly little souvenir
and its been inside my heart.

ChuckyG says: I'm pretty certain I know what that missing line was.  I cleaned up the formatting and adjusted a few others a bit.

I had a listen, and I can think of two possibles:

Just a little thing to save here

or

Just a little thing to savour

Sounds more like the first to me, but I could be wrong.

that was kind of what I thought it was, still didn't seem right, but then again who knows? it was a live radio studio version he could have just about said anything really.

I  haven't a clue what he's singing in this one... not a single clue.  I wonder if there's a Lotion messageboard where we can torture them with deciphering the lyrics >grin<

Fifteen years of listening to this song and I still can't make out those lines.  I can understand why it's hard on a first or second listen (especially these songs I've selected), but you'd think I'd at least be able to figure it out.

Either one could be it. I listened again and I STILL couldn't make it out.

Just a little thing that to say you're here

that's what a souvenir is supposed to be, something you purchase to help remind you of a place.

THE DEVIL'S FOOTPRINTS In February 1855, a strange thing happened in Devonshire, England. It was strange enough for some people to believe that they had been visited by Satan. A large number of small footprints were found in the small town. There had been a heavy snow fall and the tracks appeared to be those of some mysterious animal. The tracks went over the tops of houses, through walls in outbuildings, through tiny holes and across the river. The tracks resembled those of a donkey's shoe and were always the same distance one in front of the other. When humans  walked through the snow, a little snow fell back into their footprints, but the  snow had not fallen back into the visitor's tracks.

John Farrar - Can't Hold Back

Just when I think I'm losing you
I get you back again
and there is nothing I can do
and so I take you in
This kind of love is confusing me
It's anything but tender
I'm well aware that you're using me
But still I will surrender

Can't hold back, can't hold back
Can't hold back my love
Can't hold back, I can't hold back
Can't hold back my love

Sometimes you are completly cold
and somewhere far away
And just like ice you're hard to hold
and so I have to say
I see no sense in playing this game
I see no sense at all
I think if tried to be insane
I was a fool to fall

Can't hold back, can't hold back
Can't hold back my love
Can't hold back, I can't hold back
Can't hold back my love

And when you say that you need me, need me
I start all over again, again
Sometimes I wish that you free me, free me
But I just can't let it end, end, end, end.....

Can't hold back, can't hold back
Can't hold back my love
Can't hold back, I can't hold back
Can't hold back my love

Can't hold back, can't hold back
Can't hold back my love
Can't hold back, I can't hold back
Can't hold back my love

this one was super easy, surprised no one did it... the other Farrar song he sings a little like the Bee Gees and it's much harder.

Dwight Twilley - I'm Back Again

But I was gone
But now I'm back again
You know it hurt me
But I was younger thn
Took a little time
Lonely days and nights
But I got up and I turned on the light

and now I'm back again (there's no rain on my face)
I'm back again (there's hardly a trace)

There were girls that look a lot like you
You know the one, but then they're sexy too
Somewhere in the streets, someone said to me
You can't hold on to what you don't believe

and now I'm back again (with the world in my hands)
I'm back again (and now I understand)
Hoping I can make it
but I thought I couldn't take it

Back again
I'm back again

It's so sad, so sad
when the world is such torture
For people like us, to hurt each other
When the only thing it really needs
is to find the piece that the puzzle needs

and now I'm back again (with a hole in my shoe)
I'm back again (no now everything's new)
I thought that I couldn't shake it
Well I knew that I couldn't fake it

But like a fly caught in spider's web
Sometimes you jerk free, and then you move again
Suddenly youn find you're between the lines
I got up on the count of nine

and so I'm back again (same as I was)
I'm back again (because it's because)
They said that I couldn't make it
I thought that I couldn't take it

Back again
Ooh I'm back again
Ooh I'm back again
Back again
Back again

I'm back again
I'm back again
I'm back again

Ray Parker Jr. - "Can't Keep From Cryin'"

When you’re in love and the other person isn’t you can close your eyes and it still won’t go away. There’s really nothing that you can do about it because you let your heart get in the way. I’m gonna try to hold in my feelings but it is really hard with tears on my face. 

I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair even though it’s over, I still care. (*Don’t take all my tears ) I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair even though it’s over, I still care.


We used to have such happy times together until you said that we would have to part. I’m struggling hard, hard to forget you when Cupid’s arrow gets stuck in my heart. I, I tried my best not to let my feelings show but all those memories I can’t let them go.

I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair even though it’s over, I still care. (I just want to let you know). I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair (I’m still crying) even though it’s over, I still care.

When you find the right girl that you love and respect and she says it’s over it’s kind of hard to accept.

I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair (I just can’t) even though it’s over, I still care. (You won’t let me). I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair (Oh no) even though it’s over, I still care.

I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair (ah huh babe, I’m gonna tell your Mama) even though it’s over, I still care. (you made me cry girl) I just can’t keep from crying over this love affair (gonna tell your daddy, too.) even though it’s over, I still care.  (Baby I’m still in love with you.)

DFX2 - Emotion

Something happened to my head
She went, schweeeeew

I was thinking of the thrill of it all
I was staring at your eyes in my wall
Those eyes!
They gotta look that could kill
But no
It's just emotion
But they probably will

It's just emotion
It's just emotion
It's just emotion

Oh well!
It's just emotion

Well
I was thinking of the things that change
I was screaming at the voice in my brain
Said, you lost that feeling you had
But no!
It's just emotion
and it feels so bad
sometimes


It's just emotion
It's just emotion
It's just emotion

Oh well!
It's just emotion

*       ,          , no escape, emotion
gettin' high, layin' low,
*It's like to be a comotion
Oh well!

Oh well
It's just, oh well
It's just emotion
Oh well

Fashion - Love Shadow

I can't believe you're leaving
I can't believe it's true
Surely you can give me a reason
Was it something that I said to you?

Well that's ok, if that's the way you want
There's no way I can make you stay
Any time, any place
You're always gonna hear me say

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

If you could just remember *remain?
The times we had were fun
You left me all alone to wonder
The reason that you chose to go

Well that's all right, do anything you need
Just call me on the telephone
Any time, any place
You're always gonna find me home

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

So where do we go from here?
*_______________ that I wonder
Why are you not concerned?
Cause I'm living in your love shadow
*We ___________________ conversation?
Why didn't we take that time?
You left me standing in the darkness
Surely that's the way you want me
I'm licing in your love shadow, shadow

I can't believe you're leaving
I can't believe it's true
Surely you can give me a reason
Was it something that I said to you?

Well that's ok, if that's the way you want
There's no way I can make you stay
Any time, any place
You're always gonna hear me say

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

Ah, that explains a lot. Suddenly it all makes sense.

BTW: I think you've accidentally deleted a line from the 1st verse:

And crawl invisibly across your roof
I could just about fade into every home
Where I wouldn’t be seen

Fifteen years of listening to this song and I still can't make out those lines.  I can understand why it's hard on a first or second listen (especially these songs I've selected), but you'd think I'd at least be able to figure it out.


It's pretty clear someone was on a high there. Maybe we should try that too.

MTA:

On another messageboard I stumbled across a message by Todd Carter (scroll down to the 9th comment). He ran a fan website for Lotion in the 1990's. Maybe he knows. :-\\
He also left his email address there, but the info is over two and a half years old, so not exactly up to date.

John Farrar - Can't Hold Back

this one was super easy, surprised no one did it... the other Farrar song he sings a little like the Bee Gees and it's much harder.


I didn't do it BECAUSE it was super easy. :P ;)

To the best of my ability, this is what it sounds like to me. I'm pretty sure Chucky will prove me wrong. ;)

DFX2 - Emotion

(.....)

Oh well!
It's just emotion

Can't be seen, nothin' shows, no escape, emotion
gettin' high, layin' low,
It's like the explosion
Oh well!
It's just, Oh well
It's just emotion
Oh well
It's just emotion
shhhhhhhhhhhh

(........)

Couldn't fill in all the blanks... Made some adjustments too.


Fashion - Love Shadow

I can't believe you're leaving
I can't believe it's true
Surely you can give me a reason
Was it something that I said to you?

Well that's ok, if that's the way you want
There's no way I can make you stay
Any time, any place
You're always gonna hear me say

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

If you could just remember *remain?
The times we had were fun before
You left me all alone to wonder
The reason that you chose to go (not sure what they're singing, but this isn't it)

Well that's all right, do anything you need
Just call me on the telephone
Any time, any place
You're always gonna find me home

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

So where do we go from here?
*_______________ that I wonder (no idea)
Why are you not concerned?
Cause I'm living in your love shadow
We've no time for conversation
Why didn't we take that time?
You left me standing in the darkness
Surely that's the way you want me
I'm living in your love shadow, shadow

I can't believe you're leaving
I can't believe it's true
Surely you can give me a reason
Was it something that I said to you?

Well that's ok, if that's the way you want
There's no way I can make you stay
Any time, any place
You're always gonna hear me say

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow
I'm living in a love shadow, shadow, shadow

Thanks Henk!
I approve! ;) ;D 8)

I wrote him an email, it didn't bounce so maybe it's still active.

Thanks for the help so far... down to just 8 songs...

I'm going to listen to the last three and see if I can't straighten them out more.


Usually on the lyrics sites I visit if someone doesn't know a line, they put in four or five question marks.  It's easy to search the files for lyrics that are missing that way.

I don't think you'll ever get a full transcription for "Four Big Speakers" from any of us. :-\\ The rap part is just too hard.
I have noted down some rough outlines for the verses, but even those are inconclusive.

I checked amazon, and the album with the studio version was less than a dollar on amazon, as was the CD single.  So I ordered both, maybe I'll get lucky and the lyrics are in the liner notes.

John Farrar + falsetto = incomprehensible. ;D Definitely need some help with this.


John Farrar – Gettin’ Loose

It’s all around: I’ve been let down
I’ve been sold out
I discover there’s a lover
And there’s-a no doubt
? ? ? ? ?
You know to use her (you’re a loser)
Don’t let you find me to remind me
I’m a loser, a loser (Oooh!) I’m a loser, a loser

Chorus:
(Ah!) Gettin’ loose (Ah!) Gettin’ loose, gettin’ loose
I’m gettin’ free, nobody’s gonna catch me
(Ah!) Gettin’ loose (Ah!) Gettin’ loose, gettin’ loose
You had your day, it’s time to have it my way

How would you be no fantasy
You can shatter
Oh my heart breaks, oh my mind aches
Upon the matter
? ? ? ? ?
I’m gonna teach you (I’m gonna teach you)
? ? ? ? ?
Is gonna reach you, reach you (Oooh!) reach you, reach you

Chorus

I can’t believe that I stayed this long
Hopin’ time would bring some insanity
You keep playin’ the same old song
You’re too crazy for me (I’m gonna get me loose)
(I’m gonna get me loose) I’m gonna get loose

Chorus

There is nothing that you can do
I decided I’m gettin’ loose
There is nothing that you can do
I decided I’m gettin’ loose
There is nothing that you can do
I decided I’m gettin’ loose

And one more.


Cold Water Flat – Magnetic North Pole

I dreamed that I was holding a storm
Felt like my head started beating/bleeding
? ? ? ? ?  I dreamed that I didn’t care for …………. my mind
I dreamed that I was lying there
With my face just wrapped inside of my head

In a dream yeah – I fixed the magnetic north pole
In a dream yeah – I was never really here at all

I dreamed that I was biding that storm
Felt like my mouth started bleeding
? ? ? ? ?  I dreamed that I didn’t care for………….. my soul
I dreamed that I was lying there
With my arms just wrapped around my head

In a dream yeah – I fixed the magnetic north pole
In a dream yeah – I was never really here at all
In a dream yeah – I fixed the magnetic north pole

In a dream yeah – I fixed the magnetic north pole
In a dream yeah – I was never really here at all
In a dream yeah – I fixed the magnetic north pole

I wrote him an email, it didn't bounce so maybe it's still active.


it was still active, here's the response I got:

Well, Charles, thanks for hitting up a long time Lotion fan.

When I ran a Lotion website back in the late 90s, I only had the official lyrics to Full Isaac and The Telephone Album. We were all on our own with Nobody’s Cool and Agnew Funeral. But going back to my lyrics then and listening to the song now, this is the best I could come up with. You may want to ask the two guys who wrote it: Jim Ferguson and Tony Zajkowski, both whom you can find on the Lotion group on Facebook. And let me know if they share the lyrics.

Take Care,
Todd

Sugar beats you to the punch
You can do two things at once
As you sway between the breathers

All the angels coming down
Here to haul you out of town
Tired of being your little sister

We've been begging for a while
Come and live in our square mile
With two words he made you cry

You're the only reason I come here
I didn't think I'd find you sleeping
I took the trouble, I took the trouble
To piss on your cypress

College opens up your mouth
Just to watch them all fly south
You can still be in our movie
If my letter still sounds queer
Now I'm gone and you're still here
Left before I said goodbye

You're the only reason I come here
I didn't think I'd find you sleeping
I took the trouble, I took the trouble
To piss on your cypress

Some would shoot me I've had some offers
The words to bridge burn, cut your losses
There’s a greyhounds
I want to tell you something else
Just one more station, then I know that we are home

You're the only reason I come here
I didn't think I'd find you sleeping
I took the trouble, I took the trouble
To piss on your cypress

I gave it a listen and made some corrections, which I reformatted and posted below...

Ray Parker Jr. - Can't Keep From Cryin'

When you're in love
and the other person isn't
you can close your eyes
but it still won't go away.
There's really nothing
that you can do about it
because you let
your heart get in the way.

I'm gonna try to hold in my feelings
but it is really hard with tears on my face. 

I just can't keep from crying over this love affair
even though it's over, I still care. (You're taking all my tears )
I just can't keep from crying over this love affair
even though it's over, I still care.


We used to have
such happy times together
until you said
that we would have to part.
I'm struggling hard,
hard to forget you
but Cupid's arrow gets stuck in my heart.

I, I tried my best not to let my feelings show
but all those memories I can't let 'em go.

I just can't keep from crying over this love affair
even though it's over, I still care. (I just want to let you know)
I just can't keep from crying over this love affair (I'm still crying)
even though it's over, I still care.

When you find the right girl that you love and respect
and she says it's over it's kind of hard to accept.

I just can't keep from crying over this love affair (I just can't)
even though it's over, I still care. (You won't let me).
Honey I just can't keep from crying over this love affair (Oh no)
even though it's over, I still care.

I just can't keep from crying over this love affair
(ah huh babe, I'm gonna tell your Mama)
even though it's over, I still care.
(you made me cry girl)
I just can't keep from crying over this love affair
(gonna tell your daddy, too.)
even though it's over, I still care. 
(Baby I'm still in love with you.)

To the best of my ability, this is what it sounds like to me. I'm pretty sure Chucky will prove me wrong. ;)

that made way, WAY more sense than what I heard... something like Cathy Lee, I love your show

it's not like these have to be 100% perfect anyways.  Mostly I just want to be able to search my lyrics folder for the songs I know.  If I don't know the lyric, then I probably would never search for it anyways >grin<  Though it is nice to be able to hear a song, say "what the heck was that" and look up the answer too.

Fashion - Love Shadow


So where do we go from here?
*_______________ that I wonder (no idea)
Why are you not concerned?
Cause I'm living in your love shadow



I came up with this:


So where do we go from here?
Not that I'll ever wander
Why are you not concerned?
Cause I'm living in your love shadow


seems to make sense.

and I also did this one as well:

If you could just remember?
The times we had before
You left me all alone to wonder
The reason you closed the door

John Farrar + falsetto = incomprehensible. ;D Definitely need some help with this.

AGREED he doesn't usually go into the falsetto, and now you know why.  In case you or anyone else is wondering, I love Olivia Newton-John from about 1978 to 1983 or so, and John Farrar wrote & produced most of those songs (including the best two songs on the Grease soundtrack).  This was his only solo effort (though he did record with a few other groups).  At least three of the songs on the album later appeared on Physical.  Sadly it's out of print now and starting to go for huge money, glad I got my copy when I did.

How would you be no fantasy

I’m gonna teach you (I’m gonna teach you)
? ? ? ? ?
Is gonna reach you, reach you (Oooh!) reach you, reach you



here is the best I can figure, but still a couple words leave me scratching my head

I discover there's a lover
And there's-a no doubt
You've got to ? ? ? ? hearin' me say
You know to use her (you're a loser)

Girl, you can ? ? ? ? smoothin' this out
I'm gonna teach you (I'm gonna teach you)
I'm gonna ? ? ? ? my body
Is gonna reach you, reach you (Oooh!) reach you, reach you

what's neat, is I didn't know the stuff you did, but did know the stuff you didn't.  Of course I've heard it a hundred times before today.

Del Fuegos - Backseat Nothing

In the dark room small talk, the jukebox spins another disc
How could something once so fine come to feeling like this

Time for me to gathering my loving
Time for me to leave town
Because you treat me like a backseat nothing
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna to put you down

Live Light and Fly" well I guess that was her favorite song
Seems like everything I ever did for her came out wrong

Time for me to gathering my loving
Time for me to leave town
Because you treat me like a backseat nothing
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna to put you down

Time for me to gathering my loving
Time for me to leave town
Because you treat me like a backseat nothing
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna to put you down

Woke up early  next morning said come on down I have this idea we can try
? ?  ? ?She rolled over me again, and I said look I'll watch you while you go on by

Time for me to gathering my loving
Time for me to leave town
Because you treat me like a backseat nothing
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna to put you down
Because you treat me like a backseat nothing
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna to put you down
Because you treat me like a backseat nothing
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna to put you down


I had one line that was so super fast I'm surprised I got it at all. Still wouldn't mind confirmation from someone else

here is the best I can figure, but still a couple words leave me scratching my head

I discover there's a lover
And there's-a no doubt
You've got to reason, hearin' me say
You know to use her (you're a loser)

Girl, you can move up, smoothin' this out
I'm gonna teach you (I'm gonna teach you)
I'm gonna ? ? ? ? my body
Is gonna reach you, reach you (Oooh!) reach you, reach you


This is what I hear.
As for the last one - who the heck knows? lmao

Charlie Sexton Sextet - Dark

Ooooh, yeah

Good God

Scary little moon peaking through the side door
Fighting off the world with a two by four
Break at eleven, till then no stopping

Skin stretching over the kettle drum head
The big ???? rattled that would wake the dead
Tell the old bastard but she ain't coming in

Dark is getting darker every day
Kills me when it's any other way
Oh yeah
Ooooh, yeah

Well the monkey man telling you to shut the door
Or you'll let out all the flies from the night before
They shoot don't stop???? but it sure seemed all wrong
So you steal a little money you found on the floor
Get the little kid to take a trip to the store
Steppin' off the corner there ain't no more

Dark is getting darker every day
Sit and wonder what there is to say
Kills me when it's any other
Kills me when it's any other
Kills me when it's any other way

Good God
Ahh

????Slammed in poppin' in the passenger side
Sliding off the road while you're kissing the bride
See you in the headlights, thanks for the ride

Wake up in the weeds in the morning sun
Breaking all the concrete, getting well done
Scream at everyone, "Leave me alone"
Leave me alone

Dark is getting darker every day
Sit and wonder what there is to say
Kills me when it's any other
Kills me when it's any other
Kills me when it's any other way

I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human


couple more hard to figure out lines... nothing like "Beat So Lonely" which was a bigger hit ten years earlier.

This is what I hear.
As for the last one - who the heck knows? lmao


yeah, that one is totally a mystery. the others look good to me.  definitely helps to have multiple people try and decipher these.

I'm holding out hope that once google picks up the archived version of this page, people might find it and contribute some answers.

Whale - Four Big Speakers

:begin rap:
Well come up fresh with a squeal
Digging with today's deal
Telling you to shut your mouth just as soon as you can tell
Time to go to school, brother's got the kung fu
That's all true to score with just a few

Why f**k a boo, why pick a do, why fudge a shoe when I could have a little bunny
stuff a crack come and bring all the sun and why me of all people
could come and bring the rain, let me
except for those who smoke a lot of weed, and let me
pick ? ? ? ?
I ain't lying
you want proof
just call up your girlfriend
she'll be on my roof
:end rap:

Got a 35 minute drive and a bag full of bruises
four big speakers telling me to listen to my heart
what a tune to use as a soundtrack for my excuses
as I pave my way to you and a brand new start

got a nikkon fax machine and a new infection
a team of flying toasters to see me thru the night
as I make my way to this major train connection
I'd give it all away to make it alright

cruise control highway patrol

when you say that what we have is dead as disco
then your attitude pulls up before you arrive
now I'm out of tracks and running a serious risk of
being dead for longer then I'll ever be alive

giving it all away



argh.... I had the album downloaded to my drive in my latest folder (not sorted yet), so I didn't need to buy the CD to get the liner notes.  I still wanted it, but it turns out the rap part isn't even in the liner notes.  Not sure I could have figured it all out anyways.

the rap is a little clearer on the studio version, I'll stick it on the ftp site and give it a shot anyways.

EDIT: I tried my hand at the rap... it's kind of correct I guess.  as close I can get

To me, the first line of the first verse sounds more like Got a 35 minute ride and a back full of bruises - which kinda makes more sense to me - but who am I to argue liner notes?
(These are the liner notes, right?  ???)

The live version is missing the second verse.
Then again, they've added some vocals to the "cruise control / highway patrol" parts. Sounds something like "Cruise control - yes, Highway patrol - can't stop us".
The rap part is still quite unclear to me, though I seem to pick up something about "semen in your mouth" :o and "out of the blue came the blues".

We make a good team.

To be honest, though... I kinda guessed he was singing "I fixed the magnetic north pole". Somehow it makes sense.

Y'all are working together great!
I am still working on Alpha Romero... deciphering that is a PITA! ;D

Found the lyrics to Emmet Swimming's song "Jump In The Water"

todd was a singer from the suburbs
from a nice family
everybody seemed to like him
just as nice as he could be

now he's dreaming of the shrubbery
he fell down when he was three
everybody seemed to like him
everybody seemed to like him

now he's driving on the interstate
and he starts to feel free
he wishes he were wholesome
juliana hatfield three

he just wants to be famous
see his face on the t.v.
everybody seemed to like him
everybody seemed to like him

don't you jump into the water
don't you cut, don't you bleed
he jumped right into the water
saw all the things he'll never be
and when he jumped into the water
it never meant that much to me
and when he jumped into the water
don't disgrace your family

now he's sitting by the ocean
and he stares out to sea
he was just sinking
he was just sinking

into the water
as he floated out to sea
he jumped right into the water
he gave a sheesh about his family

don't you jump into the water

Found the lyrics to Emmet Swimming's song "Jump In The Water"



your Google-fu is stronger than mine... I searched high and low for all of these and didn't turn that one up.

Even the studio version differs a little from the liner notes, and yup, they're the liner notes.  Unfortunately, liner notes don't always match what is recorded. pop music is not an exact science at all I guess.

Tubes - Satellite

I sit alone almost every night
Watching TV on the satellite
Watching Showtime and the Mtv
Good reception and it's all for free
We pay for cable but it never works
You keep paying until you want it to hurt
Buy a dish and finally cut the cord
You'll still be lonely but you'll never be bored

I want to be somebody
They call the king of the satellite
My friend TV it's all for free
Tune into me on my satellite
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You and me on the satellite

People tell me that there's more to life
Than fifty stations on some satellite
I don't listen to the things they say
I'm seeing life in a brand new way

I want to be somebody
They call the king of the satellite
My friend TV it's all for free
Tune into me on my satellite
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You and me on the satellite

I sit alone almost every night
Watching TV on the satellite
Watching programs that you never see
Good reception and it's all for free
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You and me on the satellite

Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see
Oooh oh, on the satellite

Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like

Franke & The Knockouts - Never Had It Better

You know I thought we had a real good thing
I tell you right from the start
I got feelings I hardly even know what you've done to my heart
Well I know time heals but I still wearing the scars

You never had it better
So why are you tearing us apart
You never had it better
Why take a chance when it comes to my heart, baby

Stay in the game ain't no easy thing
Now has it got you confused
Can you stand knowing my feelings
Can you handle the truth
Well I know when it's real
'Cause I'm stil nobody's fool

You never had it better
So why are you tearing us apart
If you never had it better
Why take a chance when it comes to my heart, baby

What in the world are you going through
Oh baby, I'll tell you the truth
You never had it better
So why are you tearing us apart
If you never had it better
Why take a chance when it comes to my heart
You never had it better

If you never had it better
Why take a chance when it comes to my heart

You never had it better

You never had it better

your Google-fu is stronger than mine... I searched high and low for all of these and didn't turn that one up.


Trust me, it took about a half hour, but I was determined to get that medal. I searched Youtube, about 4 lyrics sites, MySpace, AOL Music, Yahoo Music, and finally found it.

Love the new medal.. Used to be "HE" but now I'm "HE♪" - Well worth it.  ;)

I want to be somebody
They call the king of the satellite
My friend TV it's all for free
Tune into me on my satellite
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You and me on the satellite

People tell me that there's more to life
Than fifty stations on some satellite
I don't listen to the things they say
I'm seeing life in a brand new way

I want to be somebody
They call the king of the satellite
My friend TV it's all for free
Tune into me on my satellite
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You and me on the satellite

I sit alone almost every night
Watching TV on the satellite
Watching programs that you never see
Good reception and it's all for free
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You and me on the satellite

Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see
Oooh oh, on the satellite
on the satellite
Oooh oh, on the satellite
You can see anything you like
Oooh oh, on the satellite



I already did that one. :-\\ Well, not as accurate as this, but still...

Four Tops - Sad Souvenirs

One love letter filled to the brim
with your heartless lies
One tired old worn out handerkeif
I used to dry my weeping eyes
These things are all I have left
of a love I built my world around

And their sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One tired old empty dream
That will never ever never come true
One battered broken heart
Misused by you

These things are all that I own
These things are all
A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One thousand lonely lonely nights
One thousand tears I shed in vain
One thousand little silent prayers to have your love again

These things are all I have left to look forward to
Darling since I lost you

A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
One broken letter, filled with lies
Old worn out handerkeif to dry my eyes
Lonely nights, empty empty tears
Sad sad sad souvenirs

Marvin Gaye - Sad Souvenirs

One love letter filled to the brim
with your heartless lies
One tired old worn out handerkeif
I used to dry my weeping eyes
These things are all I have left
of a love I built my world around

And their sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One tired old empty dream
That will never ever never come true
One battered broken heart
Misused by you

These things are all that I own
These things alone
A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)

One thousand lonely nights
One thousand tears I shed in vain
One thousand little silent prayers to have your love again

These things are all I have
All I have left to look forward to
Since I lost you

A sad (sad, sad)
Sad souvenirs (Sad souvenirs)
Oh baby
One broken letter, filled with lies
Worn out handerkeif to dry my eyes
Lonely nights, empty tears
Honey they're sad sad souvenirs


I only just noticed... I think it should be handkerchief instead of handerkeif.

I already did that one. :-\\ Well, not as accurate as this, but still...


it was scratched off the list but the copy on my drive was still empty... somehow I still missed it.  sorry 'bout that.  especially since I wasted ten minutes doing it >grin<

it is.. I couldn't figure out how to spell it, and that was what spell check came up with.  looked wrong, but I didn't care.

Well, I missed a few lines that you found, so that's good. On the other hand: I think I got a few lines right that you got wrong. :P ;)
Still, kudos to you.

I'd really like to help but my computer skills can't work out how to download any of the songs.  :-[

right click on the filename
select "Save Link As"

you can then double click on the file when using file explorer and it should play in whatever music player you have (Windows Media Player for instance).

Dangerous Birds - Alfa Romeo

One, two, three, ready go
We’ll stop at the lights
Four, five, six, seven, go
You’ve got my life
In your hands, in your hands
You are Alfa Romeo
You are Alfa Romeo

Roll down the window,
Ready for a view
Go on accelerate,
When they look at you
Hands on the wheel,
I gotta feel
You are Alfa Romeo
You are Alfa Romeo

Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down

Concrete tall buildings
I can look at you
Now remains a mystery
Quite a point of view
I look for you
We’re passing through
You are Alfa Romeo
You are Alfa Romeo
You are Alfa Romeo
You are Alfa Romeo
