chairdriver Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I wanted to say: Why the long face? Sparrow; perch and play songs of long face Burro, Buck; bray songs of long face! Sing: I will swallow your sadness and eat your cold clay Just to lift your long face. And though it may be madness, I will take to the grave Your precious long face. And though our bones they may break, and our souls separate - Why the long face? And though our bodies recoil from the grip of the soil - Why the long face?

ipaul Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yeah, I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge. The kids are coming up from behind. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London. But I was there. I was there in 1968. I was there at the first Can show in Cologne. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks. I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978. I'm losing my edge. To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin. I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties. But I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge, but I was there. I was there. But I was there. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge. I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks. But I was there. I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City. I was working on the organ sounds with much patience. I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band. I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime." I was there. I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids. I played it at CBGB's. Everybody thought I was crazy. We all know. I was there. I was there. I've never been wrong. I used to work in the record store. I had everything before anyone. I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan. I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes. I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988. But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent. And they're actually really, really nice. I'm losing my edge. I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s. I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record. I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables. I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars. I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know. But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra, Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra, Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc, Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil! Scott! Heron!, the Slits, Faust, Mantronix, Pharaoh Sanders and the Fire Engines, the Swans, the Soft Cell, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics. You don't know what you really want.

dwarf Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Your eyes tell the stories of a day you wish you could Recall the moments that once have Retract the footsteps that brought us to this favor I wouldn't ask this of you Good eye, sniper Here I'll shoot, you run The words you scribbled on the walls With the loss of friends you didn't have I'll call you when the time is right Are you in or are you out?

Paj! Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I tell you how I feel, but you don't care I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there, for all I care! I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds And you're not at all what you seem. This mind, this body And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

Razz Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) In and out on this same path that I followed for years Can't I look around and ask how could we still end up out here? I can't just hold tight Wait for them to cut us to ribbons If the sharpest thing where you come is a blade of grass Oh take me with you I don't need shoes to follow Bare feet running with you Somewhere the rainbow ends my dear These injuries Don't you think we need a new referee? I can't let the ball drop Boy I need some interference to shut them up. Oh take me with you I don't need shoes to follow Bare feet running with you Somewhere the rainbow ends my dear Oh take me with you Chase rabbits into their burrow Bare feet running with you Today even the rain can cut me up Tears turn to steal and the wound never heals in the darkness of November Well the witch is in the tower And the snake's in the bower And the hunt goes on forever Now the stake is there to burn My fathers robe is torn between cross and Mother With the blood on your hands come on What you doing? I. am. fed. up. with. this. questioning! Here. Here. Oh take me with you I don't need shoes to follow Bare feet running with you Somewhere the rainbow ends my dear Oh take me with you Chase rabbits into their burrow Bare feet running with you Today. Today. Oh take me with you I don't need shoes to follow! Bare feet running with you Today even the rain Even the rain Even the rain Can cut me up Take me with you Take me with you ------------- EDIT: Interesting fact in that this song was conceived in 1990, with just the piano track and the chorus and bridge intact. The artist in question however couldn't quite manage to finish it so gave it up and left it in the vault. It wasn't until one of the sound engineers dug it up again in 2006 that the rest of the lyric was written and the track finally completed. 16 years in the making you could say. Such a beautiful concept. Edited June 24, 2010 by Razz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I bloody love this song, and the lyrics are some of the best part. It's talking about a relationship with 'someone' and then she compares her relationship with this 'someone' who she just met with a long time friend who isn't there... Her name is Cherry We've just met But already she knows me Better than you She understands me After eighteen years And you still don't see me Like you ought to do Maybe we could talk 'bout things If you was made of wood and strings While I love her every sound I dunno how to turn you down You're so thick and my patience thin So I got me a knew best friend With a pickup that puts you to shame And Cherry is her name And when I'm lonely Cherry's there And she plays along While I sing out my blues I could be crying And you don't care You won't call me back You're stubborn as mule Maybe we could talk 'bout things If you was made of wood and strings You might think I've gone too far I'm talking 'bout my new guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 ^ My favourite when I saw her live (before I owned Frank). Ah! 0.0 So you got to see Amy. I would love to see her perform live. So when did you see her live? Hopefully I'll get to see her when she brings out her new album which I think is going to be the start of next year. So jealous :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Saw her November 2007. The first concert after a much publicised one where she was drunk/bad, threw something at a booing audience member, then left after 3 songs. But she was note-perfect and on top-form! It's a shame I didn't know Frank before, cause I much prefer that to Back to Black now, and maybe would've appreciated the Frank songs more at the time.
