Barking Lyrics

No need to create a new thread every time you hear a different word in a song. Just use this thread and make your changes.

Do you have any suggestions on lyrics that need to be changed?

Is Louisiana about 2012 when the planets line up on Decmember 21st and we are all doomed!?

Thanks BLD for updating the lyrics. I like having them available on each song on my iPhone.

[BrotherLovesDub]

lots of question marks still. would be great if you could help decipher while you listen.

biz, here are my changes to your lyrics. In some cases, I consulted live and demo versions to make sure.

Bird 1:

flows past her on the right
floats

roping in the wind
groping

sounded like a chainsaw
sounding

Grace:

warm skin
This one is tough. I've listened to it on all 3 versions, and it sounds like "moon skin"

and the sky turns ----
red

and the rays sit beneath the ---
and the rails slip beneath us

Between Stars:

save the best for last
save the best to last

when your heads too full out of whack
when the head's too far out of whack

Missing lyrics at the end:

will you hold my camera?
will you press release?
will you capture me?
as the lights go down

and the hope of the world
rides with one man
everybody cram
on the telephone ringing

we hold our breath
we spin around the world
you and me cling to the outside of the earth
under a full moon

step back (repeating)
don't wait for me
i'm always late
in my blood
in the sun
I feel the world go round
feel the world go round

Diamond Jigsaw:

can you hear? me shine
can you make me shine

Louisiana:

The --- ----
The --- breaks

The darkness breaks?
yes

Thanks Todd. I've used your edits with the exception of the 'moon skin'. I put it there for people to decide for themselves but I just can't imagine that being the lyric. The word is elongated and sung pretty low so it's very hard to decipher. I was hoping the japanese edition would have the lyrics.

Speaking of the japanese version, anyone know who is credited for the drums on Louisiana?

I'm pretty sure the lyric for Grace is smooth skin

and for Bird 1

he smelled Thyme
like the herb not (clock) time.. I can't smell time, can you smell time?

I took it to be a heightened sense experience as if he was autistic or touched in a special way. He also was listening to a fly. I think it's kinesthetic but I'd have to google it.

i just want to thank you all for transcribing the lyrics. it has made listening to the album much more enjoyable as i am a words man.
