Cable lyrics

<< < (6/15) > >>

Damon:
That sounds about right to me, again i can't wait for people to start working on the unreleased songs in the audio section ... maybe we should have a seperate post about the live/unreleased stuff

Damon

Greg:
Right then I've had ago at 'Midget' from the unreleased section of the site.

please bear with me. This one was really hard!!

MIDGET

Gathered up on the grass,
On a bed of broken glass,
We're Artificial green,
We look the science of our scene,
Hope we make the bate for the birds up in the trees,
My hoste prepares drunken toast(not sure about that last word)
and drink my weight in antifreeze,

Get sun stroke, You can somking in the sun (Repeats several times)

Tuesday afternoon,
The tinkers come in twos,
Grandpar's hit the roof, is go'na liberate her youth,
Legs divided lies comatose, and unaware of where he's gone,
She hands him over his over coat, to permanenty undone,

(not sure about some of this verse)

Chourse same as before

Up, up,up,up, up,
We come by appointment,
Its our job check'n up checking up on you,
Bet your not silver serving,
There's an ash try in your hand,
rest your head in full effect, while the misrable woman sleeps,
permanent around this place while the permanent drunkneness embrace,

Gett'n up from the grass,
We're the cappucino class,
we're artificial green,
we make the science of our scene.
The hungry devils taste the bate, and call the birds up in the trees.
As the host prepares a Mollatoff,
I can drink my weight in antifreeze.


Thats it, I think there are wrong words in there in placers. if any one can help that would be great!

Greg.

Tim:
Ok. Here's my stab at Honolulu as my ears hear it :-

Where's it going to be?
The voice is asking me
I'm just about to end my shift
We quietly sit, the meter ticks  (x2)

Drive away and take me to Honolulu
When your journey's overdue ???  x2

Backed by indecision ???
The keys in the ignition
The other side of the glass
The taxi driver starts to laugh
Stranded at the station
Without a destination
First into ____________ interview ???
On the radio it's Elvis Presley

Chorus x4

Follow the equator
Says the circumnavigator
You're steetwise
Well advised
But I just want you to take me for a ride

 ??? ??? ??? ??? ???(no idea on this bit!!!)
Call me 5566999

Chorus x2

(musical interlude)

Chorus x8


As usual feel free to fill in the blanks or amend as and where neccessary. All contributions greatfully receieved!

Cheers

Tim

Damon:
Hey Tim

I always heard the lyrics as -

Honolulu

Where's it going to be?
The voice is asking me
I'm just about to end my shift
we quietly sit, the meter ticks

Driver will you take me to Honolulu
The journeys up to you

Backed by indecision
The keys in the ignition
The other side of the glass
The taxi driver starts to laugh
Stranded at the station
Without a destination
The first thing to come into view
On the radio is Elvis Presley

Driver will you take me to Honolulu
The journeys up to you

Follow the equator
says the circumnavigator
the streetwise
Well advised
But I just want you to take me for a ride
So cruel but you?ll tell me about your life
Call me 5566999

Driver will you take me to Honolulu
The journeys up to you

Damon!

Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy!

Good work, Tim and Damon!  I think that's Honolulu done.  And a special mention to Greg for working out Midget - that's some impressive work!  I think you've got it licked, the only thing I would add is:

My host prepares a drunken toast,
['Cause I can] drink my weight in Antifreeze.

Other than that addition, I reckon you've got it spot on.

How good are the rare/unreleased tracks?!  I'm especially digging on 'Unknown 2' - it's a wicked song.  Shame it was never released!

Thanks, guys
