Cable lyrics
Greg:
Hi Dan,
I wonder if he's refering to the term 'Disco Bisket' and the line 'you took a riskgo'.
Would be great to hear what the story was behind this song.
Greg.
Damon:
Arthur Walker
The ghost in my house, it chases you and me
all night, it brings us misery
hot house with haunted memory
cool cars force Petrol Company
I sold my map and compass and fell in love with numbers
and now we?re annual members, I never thought you?d jump us.
Through Muslim drapes we spy, the apparition glides slowly by
bite my nails, bite the floor. Fell like I?ve been here before
through Muslim drapes we spy, the apparition glides slowly by
bite my nails bite the floor, chewing like a herbivore
I sold my map and compass and fell in love with numbers
and now we?re annual members, I never thought you?d jump us.
I do remember when our time begins again
impatience is waiting for who knows when
my feet running out of time to kill
the blisters that I collect from standing still
I sold my map and compass and fell in love with numbers
and now we?re annual members, I never thought you?d jump us
my name is Arthur Walker, I am a lost explorer
there?s nothing you?ll discover, because I?ve been there for you
Pocket Promise
I?ll invade your company, cut a hole in history
the straightest face, you?ll recognise
you?ll expect a cheap surprise
and think when my heads caved in,
no x-rays and I?ll learn to swim
and think when my heads caved in
no x-rays and I?ll learn to swim
We?re pleased to see the maximum security
You think, looks good but nothing turns out as it should
I?m a master locksmith, there?s nothing I won?t lift
what?s yours is mine, what?s mine is mine
I?ll be thieving all the stuff you?re buying
and think when my heads caved in,
no x-rays and I?ll learn to swim
and think when my heads caved in
no x-rays and I?ll learn to swim
We?re pleased to see the maximum security
You think, looks good but nothing turns out as it should
We?re pleased to see the maximum security
You think, looks good but nothing turns out as it should
I?m mobile, I?m senile, no sympathy in my smile
You want it, you need it, you?re looking for it but you will never find it
Yesterday On The Horizon
When you were waiting for the last taxi home
Check the change from this telephone
As yet, you?ll get, your wearing it
Bank notes, cash floats, hot cannabis
illusionist resist telling this, slight of hand remove at the wrist
super calm, you?ll dodge me alone
useless canvas, I?ll die alone
Yesterday on the horizon, tomorrow you?ll be keeping your eyes open
Yesterday on the horizon, tomorrow you?ll be keeping your eyes open
In an illusionist resist telling this, slight of hand remove at the wrist
super calm, you?ll dodge me alone
useless canvas, I?ll die alone
Yesterday on the horizon, tomorrow you?ll be keeping your eyes open
Yesterday on the horizon, tomorrow you?ll be keeping your eyes open
The million laughs almost, resemble a queen
perfect cut and torn at the seams
smiles rain down from underground
cut and paste from cheap magazines
Yesterday on the horizon, tomorrow you?ll be keeping your eyes open
Yesterday on the horizon, tomorrow you?ll be keeping your eyes open

Hi Damon.
This all looks good, how you get these all I do not know! Howver the live I've highlighted I always thought was "cos I got there before ya". ???
Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy, Damon!
Excellent work there, as always. I agree with Dan, though, the last line of Arthur Walker I've always heard as
"there's nothing you'll discover/'cause I got there before ya".
Also, I'm pretty sure that the last bit of the first verse is
"hot house with haunted memory/cool cars, our spectral company"
but that's just how I hear it. There was a Cable page on myspace for a couple of weeks before the 'official' cable myspace page came up and it had a demo version of Arthur Walker on it and the line definitely sounded like "spectral company" but before that I'd always gone with "petrol company". Hmmm... we need Pete Cable to confirm it either way!
Other than that, your lyric work is top notch!
Thanks, dude
