500 MILES lyrics (deciphered)

March 19, 2009

what do you hear? here’s my guess:

he walked 300 miles
just to bring, to bring me bread
his body like a sculpture
almost decorated

and i’ll wake him
as the dawn does
and we’ll break in
on the bus
saying this was
made forever ____

in lovers communion
for 500 miles
and in 500 miles
will he bring, bring me again
in lovers communion
for 500 miles
and in 500 miles
will we break even break

step it up
grab your phone
get your suitcase
there’s no time to waste
a big adventure awaits

satnose?, france
suffered a late snow
the blooms break through the ice
and san francis fell
and get up?
and finally confessed
he left that act
hearts touched by frost
we fought
in the land of the midnight sun
i lost myself
i lost myself

i walked 300 miles
just to bring, to bring him bread
in love some gifts are simple
of those i am derated
so i wake him as the dawn does
and we’ll face what any lovers must
blueness pales within a flame’s lust

in lovers communion
for 500 miles
and in 500 miles
will he break, bring me again
in lovers communion
for 500 miles
and in 500 miles
will he break
even break
will we break
even break
break…
even break…
does love
?
make life even
break

FIRE TO YOUR PLAIN lyrics (deciphered)

sorry for the delay, here’s my best deciphering. what do you hear?:

(beginning bit was cut off)
…in the night
from the still of night
what they’re down to
let’s see, in cold daylight

i gotta get this right
i gotta get this right

’cause she’s all
and i am low
watching you watching her play this game
yes, she’s bold
bold enough
to set fire to your plain
her fire to your plain

pray
you can pray to your jane
i put out the call
but not to be saved
called my deviling kin
with her yellow Aspen Martin

we gotta get this right
i gotta get this right

’cause she’s all
and i am low
watching him watching her play this game
yes she’s bold
bold enough
to set fire to his plain

she said, get in
and set the SatNav to hell
or would it be a purgatory

i gotta get this right
i gotta get this right

’cause she’s all
and i am low
watching you watching her play this game
yes, she’s bold
bold enough
to set fire to your plain
her fire to your plain

her fire…
bold enough…
her fire to your plain

WELCOME TO ENGLAND lyrics

March 17, 2009

i took a stab at transcribing the lyrics, if anyone hear something different, please post in the comments!

do a dance for me
baby it is laced ___ up on me
don’t want to go on
let the liquid take off what you won’t

you’ve been down before
boy and i like this
i’m in quicksand
i am sinking fast

perfect, heal it
’cause your other half has got himself
a devil’s excess

welcome to england, he said
welcome to my world

you better bring your own sun, sweet girl
you gotta bring your own sun
don’t you forget your…
bring your own sun
just enough for everyone

heels on, go on
bang a tango but do not get tangled
who can stay strong
when they only give us lies to lean on

when your heart explodes
is it deathly cold
you must let the colors violate the
blackness, the rest
a magic world in parallel
so leave your daily hell

welcome to england, he said
welcome to my world

it’s not a question, if i care
fight by your side
and we’ll stand
anything but
but i forgot
that you said, girl
if you come…

you better bring your own sun, sweet girl
you gotta bring your own sun
don’t you forget your…
bring your own sun
just enough for everyone

welcome to england
welcome to england

IMPROV LYRICS (06/07/07 Munich, Germany)
oh those suckers, mmmHmm, suck the life from my mother
all those suckers
i wish she had teeth and a sweet fish
i said she need some teeth and a mound of sweet
she need some teeth and a mound of sweet
those suckers
i said, mister mister with your french kind of shrub
i don’t know but you’re a master of
there’s no reason for this warming, he says
i wish my mother had teeth in her sweet
and she would rip rip out the root of the tongue
of a infection, the infection
i could say i am liberty
and i could say it from from the red red road
our trees they they can touch the sweet mound of my my mother
the sweet mound of my mother
the sweet mound for all those men who rape her
in and out

IMPROV LYRICS (06/07/07 Munich, Germany)
today i had lunch with an old friend
we talked, we talked but more than that
his eyes, they were sparkling
they were sparkling
and i know i’ve known him forever
and today i had lunch at a swanky-ass hotel in München
but it was okay cuz i saw sweet, sweet sparkling
sweet, sweet sparkling
sometimes i say to him, “maybe in your next life
baby, will you be my, will you be my wife”
and his eyes just start sparkling
and he said “maybe i could just change time
cuz i would gladly be your wife
in even this crazy life”
sparkling, sparkling
just my day was about these eyes
sparkling

IMPROV LYRICS (06/10/07 Stuttgart, Germany)
and this is click-clacking, click-clacking on my way to your town
vienna, i know it well, i’ve been there before
but i left something on your forest floor
click-clacking, click-clacking
i look out the window
hansel and gretel and breadcrumbs under the snow
i said, i left something on your, on your forest floor
i said, i left something on your forest floor
and i tried to see, hear me
and i tried to not repeat the same, the same things to her
that i remember now
i said, cuz i left something on your forest floor

IMPROV LYRICS (06/03/07 Amsterdam, NL)
hello, hello, have you had some Heinniken, hello
i haven’t yet
or i would *hic* fall off my piano stool
and everything would go horrible
i think i should not be allowed to do much when i sit at my piano
at my pianoi think that i should not be allowed to do much when i sit my piano
otherwise i won’t be able to keep my mind on what i’m doing
keep my mind on what i’m doing
and maybe i would fall off and then i’d have to crawl on the ground
and i have before
at some college when i fell off my piano stool
but i had not been drinking
that’s what’s so horrible
is i was totally straight, totally sane
and i could do nothing
absolutely nothing
so maybe i should i should have a drink
and you should pass me up right nowa Heinniken
but i don’t drink beer
so could you pass me up a nice Château, maybe a Bordeaux
cuz we are here now
having our secrets
someone is smoking something nice
but, boy, i’d like to have it now, oh, hello
my piano, she’s not smoking
she gave up last week and so we have these hidden little things
she’s got her patches
don’t tell…the organ, they’d been having a fight
so she is sexy in her patches
but i may just give her some, a little puff-puff-puff-puff-puff
while i have a little bit of some Bordeaux-love
with my piano, my piano
she’s my girl, my baby, my lady
see i love this one, yes, my only one
*i’m such a liar*
i’ve got three of these and one’s at home
and one’s in Florida, so
i am flirting with this piano
she’s a new one that i picked up very recently
don’t you think she’s a loud one
my piano
she’s never toured anywhere
she’s only been on British air, heh
my piano
she loves this life
she’s just wants you to come around
from now til the end of December
and I’ll bring Santa
and I’ll bring my dolls
and we’ll be and we’ll see you all there

IMPROV LYRICS (06/06/07 Düsseldorf, Germany)
so now, why am i about to do this [Just Ellen], i don’t know
but i’m going to do this
i’m going to do this kind of do this
and i don’t know why
cuz i don’t really want to
but if i didn’t really want to
not one of you
could make me do this
not even Jesus
not even Christmas
not a new pair of sneakers
and that could almost make me make me do this
because i am a shoe slutty-slut-slut-slut-whore

IMPROV LYRICS (05/31/07 Milan, Italy)
look left, look left
look right, look right
i can see you in the middle
although it’s dark dark dark where you are
although it’s dark dark dark where you are
where i am you can see me
but it’s dark dark dark from here
in the room where it’s light in my shoes
there’s a light light light shining on me
but it’s dark dark dark sometimes
but i can mind, i don’t mind
this dark dark dark sometimes
i don’t mind, i don’t mind
this dark dark dark sometimes
it doesn’t mean that there are tears
it doesn’t mean that there aren’t my fears
in the dark dark dark alone
but i find this girl and she’s my home
in the dark dark dark, here we are
and i wouldn’t want to change
and i wouldn’t want to change
and i wouldn’t want to change a thing
cuz i might not end up
leaving here with you
and that would be a shame
in the dark dark dark sometimes
in the dark dark dark you see
i don’t mind, i don’t mind
cuz i know you’re on the other side
of this dark in my life
cuz you’re on, cuz you’re on the other side
