That Dude Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Lazy bones preview lyrics: I’m too tired to be bored I’m too bored to be tired And the silence is so deafening it’s like picking at a sore I’m too mental to go crazy I’m too drunk to be pure And my mind is playing tricks on me And I can’t sleep tonight cause I’m so tired I can’t take it anymore With all the liars Like a prisoner of war I don’t want your sympathy I don’t want your honesty I just want to get some peace of mind It’s only in my head Cause I’m no longer halfway dead I don’t want to hear it anymore It’s good to see you but I really must admit There’s an odor in the air and I think you look like s**t....

Annie, get your gun Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 There's a little mistake on Stay The Night that I just find out from the booklet. The chorus starts "Say you'll stay the night". Which makes it even better, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Rhyme Or Reason Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Do you wanna spin the bottle, play a game of chicken? Oh it's a tongue twister 'till your lips are bleedin' Ahh! That's it!! "It's a tongue twister" - I couldn't figure that one out. That was the only part of the song I wasn't really sure about when I did the lyrics last week. Now it makes sense! Thank you! Okay. Updated lyrics based on the studio version Billie played (up until he drops the f bomb, haha), and after that I used various live videos. Makeout Party: Hey, you got yourself a pretty little blouse I think I wanna rub it the wrong way Do you wanna spin a bottle, play a game of chicken? Well, it's a tongue twister till your lips are bleeding <--- thanks, alecandstuff for figuring that part out Oh, anyhow, anywhere Kiss me there, oh kiss me there Oh, scream and shout, truth or dare Kiss me there, oh kiss me there Oh, you're so precious, you're a fucking delinquent Well, I got myself children and I need some friction It's a makeout party on another dimension And I'm gonna get crowded with a bad intention Oh, anyhow, anywhere Kiss me there, oh kiss me there Oh, scream and shout, truth or dare Kiss me there, oh kiss me there Oh, you're so precious, you're a fucking delinquent Oh, I got myself children and I need some friction It's a makeout party on another dimension Well, it's gonna get crowded with a bad intention Oh, anyhow, anywhere Kiss me there, oh kiss me there Oh, scream and shout, truth or dare Kiss me there, oh kiss me there You can kiss me here K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K- kiss me there Do you think that's all right now? It seems good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Rhyme Or Reason Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I worked on the lyrics for Stop When The Red Lights Flash. I had most of it, then compared to what justcause had come up with last month, and fixed things accordingly. Still not sure about some parts though... Uncomfortable silence I'll kill it if you want me to ___________________ (sound like "I'm like the sir violence" - surveillance? - but that doesn't make sense) I'll kill it if you want me to Out of sight, out of mind I'm not the hurting kind I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender Stop when the red lights flash I'll trade you blood for dirty cash Life in the catacombs That make me feel like I'm alone Out of sight, out of mind I'm not the hurting kind I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender Out of sight, out of mind Just give in one more time I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzap Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Why has every lyric site and GDA changed NF lyrics to "Like a Ferris wheel like it's breaking down"? That's something that I absolutely can't hear. Has there been a confirmation of such lyrics from the band, proof or something? I mean the "new" line doesn't even make any sense.

PaulS Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 From the first time I heard Nuclear Family, I was absolutely convinced it was "Like a ferris wheel; like a spray can down". I loved the idea of the pressurized can wildly spraying on the ground, like a hose does. I can't unhear it now, despite reading the corrected lyrics. The pronunciation just doesn't quite sound like "it's breaking down" to me, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzap Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 What doesn't make sense? "Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round Like a ferris wheel like it's breaking down" Too many "like"s here make it confusing, and I don't think it makes sense to "ride the world like x, like x, like it's breaking down. But do you know if it is like this in reality? Can you explain to me the meaning of the first two lines there, cause I don't really get it. Or I have a thought of what it might be, but that's just that he rides the life like something that he is imagining to break down at any second. So he lives his life like he could die any second? Am I even close here? Sorry for straying a bit from the topic, but I thought that the earlier "version" if we call it that sounded better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I even close here? Sorry for straying a bit from the topic, but I thought that the earlier "version" if we call it that sounded better. The line is wrong; it goes like this: "Gonna ride the world like a merry-go round Like a ferris wheel that keeps breaking down" That's not quite how it's written in the album sleeve, but they got it wrong. What I wrote there is what Billie actually sings. I'm not totally sure on the meaning, but I think it just means he's going to let life happen and just go along for the ride. He doesn't wan to over-think things too much, and he's going to enjoy life. That's how I understand it anyway. But I like your interpretation too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like your interpretation too Yea, the "keeps breaking down" line makes sense, but I was referring to the "like it's breaking down" line which GDA and most other lyrics sites changed to here a few days ago.

Oh, I don't know. But the "like it's breaking down" line is wrong.... and I don't know what it would mean. Since that's not how the song goes, I don't think it's that important either.

Malleus Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I believe that the lyrics in the album sleeves/booklets are the official lyrics and whatever Billie sings is just him changing it depending on his mood or something else when recording, so if I'm quoting a song I will quote what is in the booklet and not what Billie sings. I guess you could say that what Billie sings on the songs become the official lyrics, but I think of the "official" lyrics are whatever BJ pens down when he is writing songs - which, to me, is whatever we get with the albums.

I think the official lyrics are what he sings on the album tracks. The lyrics in the album sleeve should reflect exactly that - their purpose is to inform the reader of what Billie is singing on the album. Since album sleeves are made and printed after the recording is done, they should always have the correct lyrics based on what is sung on the CD. However, Billie is free to change lyrics however he wants when he sings live. Or forget them like in Scattered at Irving Plaza Maybe some people decides to sing whatever comes to their minds first I want to know the correct words. Maybe. Hence the "lyrics you thought were one thing and eventually turned out to be another" thread! Haha! But yeah, I like to know the real words. I can usually tell just by listening, but if I decide to read along, I shouldn't need a red pen to make corrections to his own lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or forget them like in Scattered at Irving Plaza Maybe whoever is printing the sleeve is given a copy of the lyrics during or before they are recording so that they can design them and stuff before they're ready to print? I have no real knowledge of how these things are made. I'm still gonna consider the ones in the booklet the official lyrics and whatever Billie sings on the album the "new" versions so to speak, but as long as it makes sense it doesn't really matter at the end of the day to me. There is probably plenty of times where neither the book's lyrics nor the album's make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
