Cable lyrics
ChrisH:
It should be Muslin not Muslim drapes in Arthur Walker should it not?!
Aanyway, here's the lyrics to my fave Cable song, Vertigo, with a botched version of the one line i've NEVER been able to work out!! :
I lock the frontdoor from the inside
Through the key from the top of my vertical incline
??Impacts with no bounce at all coz you can't grow balance??
With your pocket so small
I lock the fontdoor from the inside
Through the key from the top of a vertical incline
Average and under siege from the ultra mega superleague
This electo magne-tricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
Snip-snap I keep coming back
Nowhere to sail while we're chasing our own tales
Laid back you're tied to the rails
A silky demise when your parachute fails
This electo magne-tricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
This electo magne-tricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
Snip-snap I keep coming back
Nowhere to sail while we're chasing our own tales
Laid back you're tied to the rails
A silky demise when your parachute fails
I lock the frontdoor from the inside
Through the key from the top of my vertical incline
??Impacts with no bounce at all coz you can't grow balance??
With your pocket so small
I lock the fontdoor from the inside
Through the key from the top of a vertical incline
Average and under siege from the ultra mega superleague
This electo magne-tricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
This electo magne-tricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
;D ;D
If you're still on this thread Pete, i'd love to know why this tune didn't make Sublingual??
Greg:
Alright Gojonnygogogo,
I think the reason Vertigo didn't make Sublingual is because I don't think it was concesent with the rest of the album sound and feel. Also the sturcture is very simular to Blue Birds Are Blue. Don't get me wrong I think Vertigo is an ace song. I like the bit when it drops out to vocals and guitar and drops back in classic Cable!
I'm sure Pete well know the reason but that would seem the most simple answer.
Nice Cable Collection, I've been looking for years for some of that vinyle. I'm gald to see I'm not the only one with the 7" and CD singles.
Greg.
ChrisH:
Yeah, you could well be right there Greg. Oh well, it made their b-side output even greater than it already was! Be interesting to hear what Pete has to say about that tune for sure
Cheers buddy. It's heinously geeky but Cable's about the only band i'm proud to be a record collecting completist for! :D
Greg:
Yeah me to. In Derby there were two verions of Down Lift the Uptroden up for sale at way ahead records years ago. I remember everyone I know who were into Cable buying the other one.
Would be good to hear from Pete how and why Cable chose there B-sides, There all so good. They also played them live as well.
Greg.
Damon:
It should be tails not tales in Vertigo should it not?!
Vertigo is one of my favourite Cable songs, again I can only post the words as I?ve always heard them but I think that you did an amazing job as Matt really was unintelligible at times and especially so on Vertigo
I lock the front door from the inside
Threw the key from the top of my vertical incline
Impacts with no bounce at all because you got more banks
With your pocket so small
I lock the front door from the inside
Threw the key from the top of my vertical incline
Average and under siege from the ultra mega super league
This electro magnet electricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
Snip-snap I keep coming back
Nowhere to sail while we're chasing our own tails
Laid back you're tied to the rails
A silky demise when your parachute fails
This electro magnet electricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
This electro magnet electricity it's got a stranglehold on me
I'm an only lasting memory caused by inactivity
Snip-snap I keep coming back
Nowhere to sail while we're chasing our own tails
Laid back you're tied to the rails
A silky demise when your parachute fails
I lock the front door from the inside
Threw the key from the top of my vertical incline
Impacts with no bounce at all because you got more banks
With your pocket so small
I lock the front door from the inside
Threw the key from the top of a vertical incline
Average and under siege from the ultra mega super league
This electro magnet electricity it's got a stranglehold on me
