New Album Lyrics

[distance=rateXtime]

Anyone care to take a stab at these??? I can get some of them, but I dont think there's a song on the new record that I can transcribe in its entirety.

The View

You're gonna let off, well you shot off your mouth and look where
it got you.
My mouth runs off to you
Shots from both sides
Well we got the land, but they got the deal
Well now here's the clue
Life, it wakes up and yeah I hope it (???) on you,
well I hope mine did too

As life gets longer, (???) feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty pretty blissfully

You're gonna let off, well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
My mouth runs off to you
Shots from both sides
Well we got the land, but they got the deal
Well now here's the clue
We all pissed right where we stand
Life, it wakes up and yeah I hope it (???) on you,
well I hope mine did too
We all pissed right where we stand
Life, it wakes up and yeah I hope it (???) on you,
well I hope mine did too
We all pissed right where we stand

As life gets longer, (???) feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty pretty blissfully

As life gets longer, (???) feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty pretty blissfully

If life's not beautiful without the pain, well than I just rather I never ever even see beauty again

As life gets longer, (???) feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty pretty blissfully

Well as life gets longer (???) feels softer, they piss me off I hope

As life gets longer, (???) feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty pretty blissfully

after a whole bunch of mumbling he says "Im done"

Im not sure how accurate these are but I tried my best :) and if you find the question marks please post the whole thing!

"Bury Me With It"

we were shootin at a mound of dirt
well nothing was broken nothing was hurt
but i probably really should have been at work
but if my free times gone would you promise me this that you will

please bury me with it
please bury me with it

well as sure as planets come I know that they end
and if im here when that happens you can promise me this my friend

please bury me with it
I just dont need none of that mad max bullshit

well this suit got tight and it split at the seems
but i kept it out of habit and i kept it real clean
but if its getting faded if its running out of thread
could you do this for me my friend and please just

please bury me with it
please bury me with it

well we move to the left and we move to the right
and sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night
but if the partys over if the fun has to end
could you do this for me my friend would you just

please bury me with it
please bury me with it

good news for people who love bad news
we've lost the plot and we just can't choose
we are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
and theres good news for people who love bad news
we're humming birds who lost the plot and we will not move
we have good news for anyone who loves bad news

we were aiming for the moon we were shooting at the stars
but the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars
so dont drink the water dont you breathe the air
and if its got to that point then i have to declare that you will

please bury me with it
please bury me with it

well fads they come and fads they go
and god i love that rock and roll
well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss
life handed us a paycheck
we said "we worked harder than this!"

please bury me with it
please bury me with it
OH SHIT NOW!!!

we are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
and theres good news for people who love bad news
we're humming birds who lost the plot and we will not move
we have good news for anyone who loves bad news

[daroe]

heres my take

The View

You're dumb wake up, well you shot off your mouth and look where
it got you.
My mouth runs on too
Shots from both sides
Well we got the land, but they got the view
Well now here's the clue

Life, it (???) and yeah I hope they put plenty on you,
well I hope mine did too

As life gets longer, aweful feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty blissfully

You're dumb wake up, well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
My mouth runs on too
Shots from both sides
Well we got the land, but they got the view
Well now here's the clue
We are fixed right where we stand

Life, it (???) up and yeah I hope they put plenty on you,
well I hope mine did too
We are fixed right where we are

As life gets longer, aweful feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss well I feel pretty blissfully
As life gets longer, aweful feels softer, and it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss well I feel pretty blissfully

If life's not beautiful without the pain, well I just would rather never ever even see beauty again
well As life gets longer, aweful feels softer, and it feels pretty soft to me,

we are fixed
we are fixed
life gets longer, aweful feels softer, well it feels pretty soft to me,
and if it takes shit to make bliss well I feel pretty blissfully

we are fixed x2
we are fixed right where we stand

[daroe]

the best song ive heard since "ice on the sheets"

Bukowski

Woke up this morning it seemed to me
that every night turns out to be
a little bit more like Bukowski
and yeah i know hes a pretty good read
but god who'd wanna be
god who'd wanna be such an asshole
god who'd wanna be
god who'd wanna be such an asshole

well we sat on the edge of the room
the crowd screamed sacrafice deliverith
god takes life he's an indian giver
so tell me now why you'll tell me never
who would wanna be
who would wanna be
such a control freak
well who would wanna be
who would wanna be
such a control freak

well see what you wanna see
you should see it all
well take what you want from me
you deserve it all
nine times out of ten
our hearts just get dissolved
well i want a better place
or just a better way to fall
but one time out of ten
everything is perfect for us all
but i want a better place
or just a better way to fall

here we go

if god controls the land and disease
and keeps a watchful eye on me
if hes so really damn mighty
well my problem is i cant see
who would wanna be
who would wanna be
such a control freak
well who would wanna be
who would wanna be
such a control freak

evil home stereo
what good songs do you know
evil me oh yeah i know
what good curse can you throw

well all that ice and all that cake
i cant make it to your wedding
but im sure im gonna be at your wake
you were talk talk talk talkin in circles that day
when you get to the point
make sure that i am still awake ok

I went to bed and didn't see
why every day turns out to be
a little bit more like Bukowski
and yeah i know hes a pretty good read
but god who'd wanna be
god who'd wanna be such an asshole

[ModestDan]

Yup, you're "The View" is a gazillion percent more accurate than mine.

[daroe]

i really miss the weird skin refrences from the live stuff

the ocean breathes salty

your body may be gone
im gonna carry you in
in my head, in my heart, in my soul
and maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
well i dont know, i dont know, i dont know (but) think so

well that is that
and this is this
you tell me what you want
and ill tell you what you get
you get away from me
you get away from me
collected my belongings and i left the jail
well thanks for the time
i needed to think a spell
i had to think awhile
i had to think awhile

the ocean breathes salty
wont you carry it in
in your head, in your mouth, in your soul
and maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
well i dont know, i dont know, i dont know, i hope so

well that is that
and this is this
you tell me what you want
and ill tell you what you get
you get away from me
you get away from me
collected my belongings and i left the jail
well thanks for the time
i needed to think a spell
i had to think awhile
i had to think awhile

well that is that
and this is this is
will you tell me what you saw
and ill tell you what you missed
when the ocean met the sky
you missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
when the earth folded in on itself

it said
good luck
for your sake i hope heaven and hell
are really there but i wouldn't hold my breath
you wasted life why wouldnt you waste death
you wasted life why wouldnt you waste death

the ocean breathes salty
would you carry it in
in your head in, your mouth, in your soul
the more we move ahead
the more we're stuck in (???)
well i don't mind, i don't mind
how the hell could i mind

well that is that
and this is this
you tell me what you want
and ill tell you what you get
you get away from me
you get away from me
well that is that
and this is this
well you tell me what you saw
and ill tell you what you missed
when the ocean met the sky
you wasted life
why wouldnt you waste the afterlife

[daroe]

wow do i get it

this album is like a mid-life crisis:

the good times are killing me

got dirt got air got water
and i know you can carry me on
shrugged off short sighted false assignment
oh what can i say

have one
have twenty more one mores
and oh it does not relent

the good times are killin me

kick but buzz cut dickheads who didnt like what i said
the good times are killing me
just clenched that weed talked all night
oh but what the hell did we say
the good times are killin me 3x

fed up with all that LSD
need more sleep than coke or methanphetamines
late nights with warm, warm whiskey
i guess the good times they were all just killin me

got dirt got air got water
and i know you can carry me on
the good times are killin me
enough hair of the dog
to knit myself an entire rug
the good times are killin me
have one
have twenty more one mores
and oh it does not relent
the good times are killin me
shit kicker city slickers
who are wanting me dead
the good times are killin me

get (drunk) in and stuck in
late nights with more folks that i dont know

the good times are killin me (ad infinitum)

[hobie]

wow do i get it

this album is like a mid-life crisis:

hee-hee


Yeah, I usually think that all of Isaac's lyrics can be converted to such a theme. ;)


BTW: great going w/the lyrics. You inspired me to get off my lazy arse and finally complete all the lyrics on the Album (http://www.chickie-monkie.com/MMAlbums) page...so thanks!!!

[blameitonthetristans]

the other two posts for this song just didnt look/sound right to me. here's my take...

The View

your gun went off, well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you
my mouth runs on too
shots from both sides
well we've got the land, but they got the deal
well now here's the clue
life, it wakes up and yeah I hope it put plenty on you
well I hope mine did too

as life gets longer, awful feels softer but it feels pretty soft to me
and if it takes shit to make bliss then I feel pretty pretty blissfully

(we are fixed)
and if it takes shit to make bliss well I feel pretty blissfully

we are fixed (3x)
right where we stand

[msmojo]

here's my attempt at a transcription:


World At Large

Ice Age, Heat Wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan(?)
gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day, to a whole new town
with a whole new way
went to the porch to have a thought
got to the door and again I couldn't stop.
You don't know where, and you don't know when
but you've still got your words and you've got your friends
walkin on to another day
work a little harder work another way
well oh-oh baby I ain't got no plan
I'll float on maybe would you understand?
gon' float on maybe would you understand?
well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold
I like y'all(?) but this place is gettin' old
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most
The days get longer and the nights smell green
I guess it's not surprising but it's Spring and I should leave

I like songs about drifters, books about the same
they both seem to make me feel a little less insane
walked on off to another spot
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
did I want love(?), did I need to know
why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow

Moths beat themselves to death against the lights
adding the breeze to the summer nights
outside water like air was grey
I didn't know what I had that day
walk a little farther to another plan
you said that you did, but you didn't understand
I know that startin over's not what life's about
but my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
my thoughts were so loud...

[msmojo]

by the way I'm not too good at the whole word wrap part of it or whatever.

If I had time I'd type up Float On.

I'll do a few more tonight.

[daroe]

the view:

"your gun went off"-good on ya
however we do have the land but they've got "the view" yo
also, i dont know what life does but i dont think it wakes up.

World at Large:

Moths beat themselves to death against the lights

okay, I'll edit mine to that to make it easier.

Sometimes I swear I don't know where I get the things I hear.

hahahaha...that makes complete sense. i dont know how i didnt hear that. you know when you hear soemthing once, write it down, and after that thats all you see/hear. weird.

[daroe]

absolutely. but i think its amazing as well that when the right words become known they seem so absolutely obvious.

lately i've been hearing "life it bricks up", in the view, but i dont know if thats right.

[ModestDan]

Either its that or "life it breaks up" but who knows. I wonder if the lyrics are going to come with the new album?
