Cable lyrics

[Greg]

Hi poeple,
               Thanks for the comment on Miget. As I was working out the lyrics I realised that Midget is a very DARK song. I wondered what Matt was thinking about at the time?

Seventy

I?m unaware but I can smell the winter, blanket of snow, cover up I splinter.
 Hands to the ground and fill my empty pocket, can?t see a way to see the day.
Maybe we?ll be safer on our own, can you see a way to lose the face you?ve outgrown.
Don?t believe in what you?re told before you get old.

(That was short and easy)


Souvenir 

This place is getting smaller every day
and everything has taken it?s own way
Sold you a disguise
Help me see
See yourself in every face we meet
Living in a shipwreck at high tide
Cherry blossom hair wax by your side
Looking at the answer every time I find
Then you'll see that all we have is

This place is getting smaller every day
and everything has taken its own way
Sold you a disguise
Help me sleep
see yourself in every face we meet

It's your figurine souvenir
but you won?t sell anything here
when your namesake?s over exposed
and the doors you?re facing are all closed

This place is getting smaller every day
and everything has taken its own way
Sold you a disguise
help me see
See yourself in every face we meet

Can?t buy acceptation
can?t take rejection
there?s two dimensions
Confuse the question
a frozen error
you won?t remember
like city sleepers
Inhale water

Get your figurine souvenir
but you won?t buy anything here
and your namesake?s over exposed
and the doors you?re facing are all closed

Do The Tube

Evening face
Derelict place
Make me an answer
Plasticine dancer
Open a window
Make me a widow
Call me a freak show
You took a risko

You?re sister disco.

It?s not my fault
You don?t understand
These things never go
As I planned
I?ve only got short straws
In my hand 

You?re sister disco

He?s adrift upon the hill

You?re sister disco

He?s adrift upon the hill


Ultra Violet

You must be heard
You try to catch a
Catch a glimpse of
You're dying to catch up
Catch a glimpse of

You're never praised
Now you're erased
And when we're gone
We're dressed in neon

Yeah, I'm quite sure it is. I was thinking this when listening to the song on the way to work today (although Damon has helped fill in a couple of words I used to mumble through there!)

[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.

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

Traped in an office faced a new prediction,
Looking for a work of fiction,
Traped in an office faced a new prediction,

How long can this feel now (repeats)

I can wait to realise my fate,
Day before hours,
Till there here again,
Its a shame, I don't know your name,
It makes me too feel vain, Make you do the same,

Looking for a work of fiction, traped in an office, Guessed a new prediction (repeat)

How long can this feel now (repeat).

Theres a candle burn't a hole through you,
And we survive between the two,
Theres a candle burn't a hole through you,
We survive between the two,
The road divided in to three,
The way that sunk in me, (Not sure about that last line)

A break for , Can't wait for,
But here to depend on, I hold on for so long,
The hill side depend on,

I'll hit your right to call sometimes,
To prove a point a thousand times,
He whaires a smile behind his ears,
And talks to chandlears

A break for, Can't wait for,
But here to depend on, I hold on for so long,
The hill side depend on.

A candle burns a hole through you,
We survive between the two,
The road is devided in to three,
The wick that is soaked in me, (Not sure about that last line)

A break for, Can't wait for,
But to depend on, I hold on for so long,
The hill side depend on,

Won't you say, Won't you see, The fire rush round my brain,
Won't you think, The fire rushers round my own brain.

There a few line that I did'nt quite get if anyone knows please fill them in.

Thanks Greg.

Other than that, that is loads more than I'd ever worked out, and all seems pretty good! Cheers!

[Dan]

Okay, thought it only right to try my hand at a song. So I went for (i thought) an easy one, but I'm really not sure about the chorus, so any input welcomed!

Widower

You?ll imprison all the wisdom you learn
In your palaces under the sun
And when you promise yourself to everyone
Make your excuses when you turn back and run

I?ll be first in your wake if you?re dusting down picture frames
Cos I?ll be first in your wake if you shake the leaves from the graves

So bitter was world now you?re unfurled
You?ll be rid of us wearing your black pearls
I?ll be your scapegoat, wearing your black coat
Waiting alone, reading sleeve notes

I lack the nerve so I idly observe
We?ve got the impetus pulling us backwards
I lack the nerve so I idly observe
We?ve got the impetus you can?t stop us

I?ll be first in your wake if you?re dusting down picture frames
Cos I?ll be first in your wake if you shake the leaves from the graves

You?ll imprison all the wisdom you learn
In your palaces under the sun
And when you promise yourself to everyone
Make your excuses when you turn back and run

I?ll be first in your wake if you?re dusting down picture frames
Cos I?ll be first in your wake if you shake the leaves from the graves

[Tim]

Can't Find My Way Home (Not a Cable original I know but thought I'd give it a go)

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Well I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home
