Cable lyrics

Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy, Greg!

Cheers for checking the lyrics over, dude.

Just one question: do you have any idea what being 'as weary as KP' means?  What is 'KP'?  A person?  An animal?  KP peanuts?!  Hmmm...  A conundrum!

Damon:
Thought I?d try and fill in the gaps, this is how I?ve always heard the song

Song One

On the veranda looking out to sea,
Weary escapee,
And I know you?re ready to be dead and buried. 

You give me the reason I maybe
When we win the lottery
And whatever your pains maybe
Fingers crossed, here?s my penny

On The veranda looking out to sea,
The weakness you may find in me
I know you?re ready
For any old somebody

You give me the reason I maybe
When we win the lottery
And whatever your pains maybe
Fingers crossed, here?s my penny

On the veranda looking out to sea
And you are the reason for longevity
Until our balls lay empty
One morning, the light is on me

On the veranda looking out to sea
And I dream that you?re with me
As you?re my only friend
With no mans, lands end

You give me the reason I maybe
When we win the lottery
And whatever your pains may be
Fingers crossed, here?s my penny

You?re the captain, I?m the cleaner
On your yacht in the marina
And the lies you wrote between
Are the chalk marks at your murder scene

Greg:
Alright There Corporate,
                                      I'm not sure, it might mean killometors Per-hour!

Hope that helps

Greg.
                                   

Tim:
Hello

Bit like Blankety Blank round here!

Am currently listening to WAA and finally, after much guess work and misinterpretation(!) over the last 9 years, I'm able to figure out what Matt was blathering on about. Now I know what Richie was shouting during God Gave Me Gravity (always tried to lip read what he was singing at gigs but could never work it out).

I'll give Honolulu a try and let you know how I get on.

Cheers

Tim

Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy!

I think I agree with Damon here, Greg.  It seems likely that the line is "a weary escapee" and not "weary as KP" because escapee actually makes sense!  I guess we'll have to wait for Pete Cable to come and confirm it either way!

LOL at Blankety Blank!  I agree!  It is a hell of a lot of fun working the lyrics out though.  That's why I'm gonna have a go at:

The (We Did the Music for the Sprite Ad) blues

Sit around all day
In an alcoholic daze
Counting all my money
The profits I have made
Money makes me dizzy'
'Cause it turns the world too fast
Flush it down the toilet
It's blocking up the u-bend
My secret must be kept
'Cause I'll be robbed if they find out
There must be 90 thousand pounds
In my aquatic bank account
I've tried and tried again
To reach the fortune in the drain
And now my hands are trapped
Inside a vacuum in the watermain

Magic televisions
Telepathic intermissions

Wake me from my sleep
Tamper with my sanity

My braincells have all burst
My tongue has turned to dust
My eyes have started to spin[?]
I want to get the thirst

Drink it and you'll see
The freedom that possesses me
The kick that comes so easily
With ease you become somebody
I feel like I've been harpooned
I killed myself with junk food
Cannot stop my thirst
Don't drink the water
'Cause you don't know where it's been

Some sugar got me here today[?]
And I know TV has promised me a dream

Corrections and additions as usual please, guys!  Good luck with Honolulu, Tim!

Cheers,

Corporate_Automaton
