Lyrics - New Songs

[CADreaming]

Seeds We Sow

Soldier's of Fortune
they do conceal
everything they're afraid to show
everything they once gave now they just steal
oh the seeds we sow

Soldiers of Fortune
in paradise
had to let ourselves let go
running through our veins was water cold as ice
oh the seeds we sow

Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta

Sweet things, pretty things are dying
in the penny arcade of Edgar Allan Poe
Medicine men have all gone off spying
Oh the seeds we sow

Had a dream that you reached for me in the night
Touched me soft and slow
Everything was wrong but everything was right
Oh the seeds we sow

Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta

Oh, oh the seeds we sow
Oh, oh the seeds we sow
Oh, oh the seeds we sow
Oh, the seeds we sow

In Our Own Time

Fire still burning but in a while she'll make it rain
These rooms are all falling down they couldn't stand the strain
I had the same old dream she was hiding outside my door
She used to come from time to time but not anymore

Still...in my mind...
Still...in my mind...

It wouldn't make any difference
We crossed the line
From the fire we will rise again
In our own time

Seasons turning but in a while she'll make it snow
This time I think she's gone for good but I never really know
Nothing here remains just the vision of her face
The implication of a crime it always takes her place

Still...in my mind....
Still...in my mind....

It wouldn't make any difference
We crossed the line
From the fire we will rise again
In our own time

It wouldn't make any difference
We crossed the line
From the fire we will rise again
In our own time
In our own time
In our own time

Process of Illumination

I've got a bad reputation
Do you have something to hide
Whoo, it's such a strange sensation
When you finally open up your eyes

One less lie believe in
One less trick of the mind
The process of illumination
The process of illumination

Meet me up at the station
Shake me down to the core
Whisper little revelations
That you never told no one before

One less lie to believe in
One less trick of the mind

The process of illumination
The process of illumination

One less lie to believe in
One less trick of the mind

The process of illumination
The process of illumination
The process of illumination
The process of illumination


The Way Love Goes

I'd like to take your pain away
away away away
I'd like to take your shame away
away away away

I lie alone and watch you sleep
I'd reach for you but I might weep
If you should tell me I must keep
away away away

In the dungeon couldn't believe it no
Took a look and then saw your secret
Oh oh oh
That's the way love goes
It goes it goes it goes

In the dungeon couldn't believe it no
Took a look and then saw your secret
Oh oh oh
That's the way love goes
It goes it goes it goes
Oh that's the way love goes
it goes it goes it goes

I'd like to take your pain away
away away away
Behind your shame the colors fade
away away away
The diamond falls, the hand is dealt
Upon the shrine where we once knelt
Oh how I wish this veil could melt
away away away

In the dungeon couldn't believe it no
Took a look and then saw your secret
Oh oh oh
That's the way love goes
It goes it goes it goes

In the dungeon couldn't believe it no
Took a look and then saw your secret
Oh oh oh
That's the way love goes
It goes it goes it goes

Repeat

It goes it goes it goes
it goes it goes it goes it goes
It goes it goes it goes it goes
It goes it goes it goes

I'd like to take the pain away
away away away
I'd like to take the shame away
away away away

Stars Are Crazy

I woke up in the middle of the night
With you on my mind
With you on my mind
I can't see you any more
But it don't mean I'm blind

Sometimes we fantasize
Wondering if we could've tried
Wondering if we died
Wondering if the stars are crazy
Stars are crazy

Sometimes we analyze
Almost apologize
Pretending we didn't die
Wondering if the stars are crazy
Stars are crazy

I wake up in the middle of the night
With you in my arms
With you in my arms
I can't touch you anymore
It causes you harm

Sometimes we fantasize
Wondering if we could've tried
Wondering if we die
Wondering if the stars are crazy
Stars are crazy

Sometimes we analyze
Almost apologize
Pretending we didn't die
Wondering if the stars are crazy
Stars are crazy

Sometimes we close our eyes
Dreaming about the prize
Wondering what to buy
Wondering if the stars are crazy
Stars are crazy

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Ah-oh, oooohhhh
Oohhh, Oohhh
Ahhhhhhhhh

When She Comes Down
She is waiting
She is waiting
She is dreaming
She is dreaming

And we'll all go to meet her
Yes, we'll all go to meet her
When she comes down
When she comes down

She is watching
She is watching
She is hoping
She is hoping

And we'll all go to meet her
Yes, we'll all go to meet her
When she comes down
When she comes down

Now she's dancing
Now she's calling
Now she's laughing
Now she's falling

And we'll all go to meet her
Yes, we'll all go to meet her
When she comes down
When she comes down

Rock Away Blind

For your love, I must be on time
Wait for hours alone by your shrine
Your bark is worse than my bite
I rock away, rock away, rock away, rock away blind
Rock away, rock away, rock away, rock away blind

I see clues that you leave behind
White or blue, I know it can't be mine
I want to look for what I might find
I rock away, rock away, rock away, rock away blind
Rock away, rock away, rock away, rock away blind

Freedom is someone to know
There is no right or wrong anymore
Cast your fate we've all found away
As they say, it's another good day

I keep watch on this heart of mine
I could go crazy without even trying
Fleeing the scene of the crime
I rock away, rock away, rock away, rock away blind
Rock away, rock away, rock away, rock away blind

One Take
I'm a soldier in the bandlands
Never looking out behind
When the feeling rushes over me
I do it for the company
My soul is hard to find
And I do good business
With the wastelands below
Giving passports to places
that you never really thought that you would
ever want to go

One take over the line
Everything's gonna be fine
Then what's yours will be mine (that's right!)
One take over the line
Somebody give me a sign
The mistress is gonna go blind
One take over the line (that's right!)
One take over the line

No I have no reputation
And I'm not on any list
That's because I've got a publicist
Who covers up the avarice of where I put my fist
And if you don't see me
It doesn't mean I'm not there
It only means that when I steal from you
I don't want you to know because I really really care

One take over the line
Everything's gonna be fine
Then what's yours will be mine (that's right!)
One take over the line
Somebody give me a sign
The mistress is gonna go blind
One take over the line (that's right!)
One take over the line

Aaaahhhh Aaaahhhhh

One take over the line
Everything's gonna be fine
Then what's yours will be mine (that's right!)
One take over the line
Somebody give me a sign
The mistress is gonna go blind
One take over the line (that's right!)
One take over the line

I'm just another madman
Looking for another fall
And I got to make a killing
Cause a journey of a billion
Always starts with something small
I'm just another madman
I turn it off, I turn it on
And I won't be denied
No I won't be satisfied
Til the middle class is gone.

Gone Too Far
When the last insult comes down from your friends
Hoping all your blind ambition will fall
And the love you know has come to an end
And the silence answers your call

Save me
It's gone too far
It's gone too far

When your waiting for your ocean to rise
All alone at night long after I've gone
And your conversations all end in lies
And you wake up singing one of my songs

Save me
It's gone too far
It's gone too far

Save me
It's gone too far
It's gone too far


The End of Time

Sliding down the karma slide
Seems like it never ends
When we get to the other side
Maybe then we'll make amends

It's the end of time
The end of time
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

It's the end of the line
It's the end of time

Swing low sweet chariot
Give us back our youth
When they finally come to bury us
Maybe then, we'll tell the truth

It's the end of time
The end of time
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

It's the end of the line
It's the end of time

Always keep me in your heart
Even though I may be dead and gone
And though we may be far apart
My love for you is strong

It's the end of time
The end of time
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

It's the end of the line
It's the end of time

End, end of time
The end, end of time

Whoa, whoa, whoa

She Smiled Sweetly
Why do these thoughts loom so large on me?
They stay and stay, day after day
And won't disappear, my hair's turning gray
But she smiled sweetly, she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly and said don't worry
No, no no no

And why do they hide inside of me?
They take the peace most everyday
And won't disappear I've tried every way
But she smiled sweetly, she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly and said don't worry
No, no no no

There's no use in why or when
There's no use in crying
And so - begin again
Begin again
That's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
And feeling good most all of the time
Cause she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly, she smiled sweetly
And said don't worry
No, no no no

Sleeping Around the Corner

She called to me, "Meet me at the border
Wake me up when my papers are in order"
Lord, I don't wanna bring you down
No I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping round the corner
No, I don't wanna bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping round the corner

Oh, oh, oh, oooh oooh

We made sweet love over and over
She said "Oh sweet darling
I'm your little red rover"
Lord, I don't wanna bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping round the corner

She said to me, "I don't mean to scorn ya
But, I've been lying and I've been to scared to warn ya"
Lord, I don't wanna bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping round the corner

No, I don't wanna bring you down
No I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping round the corner

Oh, oh, oh, oooh oooh

Sweet -_____________
Giving us back our youth
When they finally come to bury us
Bury us, we'll tell the truth

I heard "Swing low sweet chariot"

Thank you for compiling all these! Lots of food for thought

[danax6]

Food for thought indeed, it looks like I have something to analyze again. Finally.

[michelej1]

And you take the lyrics from these and compare it to the lyrics from those and you can't help but . . . well, I'm just saying.

Are you referring to Cheaper Than Free?

No. I have blocked the sickening Cheaper Than Free lyrics from my mind. I was actually being silly because we don't even have lyrics other than Secret Love do we? I'm just 100% sure we'll be getting some.

Just the review that said that In Your Dreams was racy made me think that those dreams describe, something similar to the dreams in the guitarist's lyrics. Sadly, over 17 years ago, when Mulder came up behind Scully and touched her unexpectedly on the neck, I have been on a ship and I can't get off.

So, to compare...

His:
"We crossed the line
From the fire we were running"

Hers:
"And even though they were so in love
They drew a line in the sand just because
In the smoke and the fire
She burned his house down"

That's great.

And I admit I think it's silly to believe that Lindsey knows Stevie solo songs. I don't think he even likes that music. But I compare his fire still burning to her "there's no fire burning." That's a reply.

Also, since I don't have her new songs yet, when he says meet me at station, I'm thinking, what station? The railway station? Where's she's been waiting, since That's Alright?

Stevie's lyric here is a reference to Wide Sargasso Sea, isn't it? It's basically the entire plot of the novel summed up in four lines.

However, in some of these new songs ("Stars," "The Way Love Goes") there's definitely a sense of impossible longing that might make a person wonder what Lindsey uses as a reference point when communicating this kind of longing and regret in his songs.

(My apologies for English-majoring it up here. )

Fire still burning in a while she'll make it rain
These rooms are all falling down they couldn't stand the strain
And the same old dream she was hiding outside my door
She used to come from time to time but not anymore

??????

surely not

purely out of interest has Stevie ever commented on any of his other solo work? besides his would-be-solo-stuff for SYW? because a most devious thought came to my mind while i was in the shower ... and i wish to delve more

[CADreaming]

Seeds We Sow lyrics as best I can decipher right now:

Soldier's of Fortune
that do conceal
everything they're afraid to show
everything they once gave_____ to steal
oh the seeds we sow

Soldiers of Fortune
in paradise
have to tell ourselves let go
running through their veins with water cold as ice
oh the seeds we sow

Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta

Sweet things, pretty things a dollar
and the_____ king Edgar Allan Poe
Medicine men have all gone inspired
Oh the seeds we sow

Had a dream that you reached for me in the night
Touched me soft and slow
Everything was wrong but everything was right
Oh the seeds we sow

Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta
Oh, ta ta ta

Oh, oh the seeds we sow
Oh, oh the seeds we sow
Oh, oh the seeds we sow
Oh, the seeds we sow

thanks so much for this, it helps a lot (i couldn't decipher most of them...).

i think it might be:
"from the fire we will rise again
in our own time"

[WildHearted]

So, which brave sole wants to be the first to speculate on/analyze these puppies?

[CADreaming]

^^I have no idea what you mean. I'm sure these are just general lyrics about the overall state of happiness he has in his personal life now. No regret or longing or pain about some random, long ago forgotten lost love (that he probably wishes he had married and had kids with a long time ago and moved back home to San Francisco...)
