GoS Lyrics

[TrueFaith77]

I'm surprised that the lyrics for the songs on GoS are not up on the net yet. Does anyone have any tips?

[shackin'up]

yes, they are, and they're there for years.

Hail buckinghamnicks.net, the attar from the rose.
The Ledge: Authority makes us bleed, bleed, bleed



Gift of Screws


Written by L. Buckingham and E. Dickinson; Sung by L. Buckingham



Way down here everybody needs
Authority makes us bleed, bleed, bleed

Essential oils are wrung
The attar from the rose
Is not expressed by suns alone
It is the gift of screws

Way down here everybody frowns
Authority, it keeps us down, down, down

Essential oils are wrung
The attar from the rose
Is not expressed by suns alone
It is the gift of screws

Essential oils are wrung
The attar from the rose
Is not expressed by suns alone
It is the gift of screws

To the left
To the right
Up and down
In and out
To the left
To the right
In and out
Up and down
In and out
And around
That's right, baby
That's right, baby

[shackin'up]

The Ledge:
Every bone has been broken
Rumors of awful scenes
Every word, every language has been spoken
Someone’s got to set you free


Shuffle Riff / Wait For You


Written by L. Buckingham



Tarantula passes by your window
No one takes it as a sign
No one cares which way the wind blows
Someone’s got to change your mind

Every bone has been broken
Rumors of awful scenes
Every word, every language has been spoken
Someone’s got to set you free

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you
Oh, oh, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you

The suicide days
Suicide, suicide nights
In a wheelchair, almost blind
Someone’s going to have to pay the price
Someone’s got to change your mind

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you
Oh, no, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you

Is it just a separate voice?
Did you hear what they said?
Is it only that you’re lonely?
Did you stay here every day?
Is your lie justified?
Kick your holes through your door
Did you dive with him right on the floor, floor, floor?

Oh...
Oh...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you
Oh, no, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you

No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Walking down the street baby now

No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Walking down the street baby now

No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Oh, we're walking down the street baby now

No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Walking down the street baby now
Walking down the street baby now
Walking down the street baby now

No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Walking down the street baby now
Walking down the street baby now
Walking down the street baby now

The Ledge: I'm a little lost, let me find my way
I'm a little dead, let me live


Twist of Fate / Right Place to Fade


Written by L. Buckingham



I'm a little lost, let me find my way
I'm a little dead, let me live
Been living in the past, let me rise today
Led a selfish life, let me give

How long, how long, how long
How long we wait
Wait for the light that might light our way
Wait for the right twist of fate (Right Place to Fade)

You were living under the reign of kings
You were living under the gun
I know it made you do a lot of things
You wish that you'd never done

How long, how long, how long
We hesitate
Wait for the light that might light our way
Wait for the right twist of fate (Right Place to Fade)

Rah-ta-ta-ta-ta
Rah-ta-ta-ta-ta
Rah-ta-ta-ta-tah
Rah-ta-ta-ta-ta
Rah-ta-ta-ta-ta
Rah-ta-ta-ta-tah

Come along, lay down and talk to me
Tell me all your fear will allow
It doesn't matter who we thought we were
We ain't got time for it now

How long, how long, how long
How long we wait
Wait for the light that might light our way
Wait for the right twist of fate (Right Place to Fade)

I swear, I swear, I swear
It's not too late
Wait for the light that might light our way
Wait for the right twist of fate (Right Place to Fade)
Wait for the light that might light our way
Wait for the right twist of fate (Right Place to Fade)
Wait for the right twist of fate
Wait for the right twist of fate

Underground

Give us a song but don’t live what you sing
Say what you mean but please don’t mean a thing

I think I might wander underground
I think I might wander underground

They heard 15 seconds and that was enough
The idea was new but the business was rough

I think I might wander underground
I think I might wander underground

I go to my lover, we lay on our bed
Did I sell my heart for the dreams in my head?

I think I might wander underground
I think I might wander underground

[shackin'up]

well, at least then there were three.....

[shackin'up]

four....:)

Underground

Give us a song but don’t live what you say
Say what you mean but please don’t mean a thing


In that snippet on the net I heard "sing" ;)

That actually makes more sense and rhymes too

Did You Miss Me (courtesy of Christy)

I took a trip out of town
A hundred years underground
I had to swim across the sea
Oh, when you were my baby

(Chorus)

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't know
Oh baby, did you miss me

A hundred years out of town
It's not so long, so I found
Just long enough to get free
Oh, when you were my baby

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't know
Oh baby, did you miss me

Look at us now
The years fall down
Show me how

Check it out, hear the sound
All these walls are comin' down
That's just you, that's just me
Oh, when you were my baby

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't know
Oh baby, did you miss me

[Madness Fades]

Time Precious Time
Take all the time that you want
Take all the time that you need
Slow and easy
You might succeed

Time precious time
Precious time
Precious time
Precious time

Time precious time
Precious time
Precious time
Precious time

Searching for scars that you hide
Looking beneath every stone
Half deep, half empty
This must be home

Time precious time
Precious time
Precious time
Precious time

Time precious time
Precious time
Precious time
Precious time

Remember
Remember

Time precious time
Precious time
Precious time
Precious time

Time precious time
Precious time
Precious time
Precious time

Remember
Remember

Bel Air Rain
Fighting for a cause
I can’t remember anymore
Well I guess you could say
That I was framed

Somebody said
There'll be a knock at my door
But the knock it never came

I changed my name
I went insane
Still I can’t complain
Standing in the Bel Air Rain
Standing in the Bel Air Rain
Standing in the Bel Air Rain

In my younger days
I was mistaken for a whore
I guess you could say
I lived in shame

Well everyone’s peace
Lives side by side
With their war
But eventually everyone gets tamed

I changed my name
I went insane
Still I can’t complain
Standing in the Bel Air Rain
Standing in the Bel Air Rain
Standing in the Bel Air Rain


Treason
I called you up
They said you weren’t there
Years ago, I was low, why should I care

I wandered down
Where the sky meets the sand
Closed my eyes, told you lies,
Out of my hand

Deep down there’s freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason

I walk around
Under moonlit skies
All alone, going home, hoping to fly

Face down in the ocean
Always gasping for air
Saw your face, full of grace,
Try not to care

Deep down there’s freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason

I walk, empty holes
Wondering what is true
Behind the garden walls
I search for you

Deep down in the ocean
Deep down in the sea
Saw your face, full of grace, searching for me

Deep down there’s freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason

Deep down there’s freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason
We will rise from this treason
We will rise from this treason
We will rise from this treason


Great Day
Long and slender
Altar in the sky
And the warm winds blowing
The river bed was flowing
A star crossed lover
Getting hotter and hotter
I didn’t mean to hover
I just had to love her

Swimming in the water
Goggle at the moon
The currents they caught her
Hiding in my room
Mirrors in her eyes
She was wet, she was soaking
Ashes in the ocean
And her heart was broken

It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day

The day was dark and burning
All the time we were learning
The rules concerning
Of the corner where we’re turning
A wish that is walking
Is just a crime scene talking
If it’s a plea that you’re copping
It’s just a door that you’re locking

Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day

It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day


I can't figure out a lot of the lyrics for Love Runs Deeper.
Perhaps someone else can give them a go?

[Peestie]

Thanks for these! Now I've got something to read this afternoon.

[Nico]

Um, the lyrics to Great Day are kind of...sexy.

Yay for Lindsey and, uh...Will.:o

Bel Air Rain: "In my younger days I was mistaken for a whore/I guess you could say I lived in shame"

Well then alright. Honesty must always be respected.

[michelej1]

Well, thank you Sharon. They are all interesting lyrics.

For the whore part, I am wondering if he means the commercial success of Rumours. I remember Tom Petty saying something like he thought Fleetwood Mac was awful, but he came to see that they weren't. But the initial impression among "real musicians" was that FM was just a bunch of stars, with no real talent. So, maybe he is saying he was considered a whore, making pop music for the dollar.

In Show You How , for that stanza when he said he was a mad man out on a bad man's route, I thought that meant he was looking for a prostitute or at least a woman who could give him some heady pleasure without strings.

I am relieved that Great Day is really not about a "great day" and is an ironic title. That's what I wanted. I don't really like what I've heard from Time Precious Time, but I enjoy the line, "looking for scars that you hide, looking beneath every stone, half deep, half empty. This must be home."

Remember we had "full of grace" in Eyes of the World.

All sounds good.

Ditto. I'm exactly sure what the songs about but I'm glad it's not another It Was You lyrically.

[StreetAngel86]

Great Day
Long and slender
Altar in the sky
And the warm winds blowing
The river bed was flowing
A star crossed lover
Getting hotter and hotter
I didn’t mean to hover
I just hate to love her

Swimming in the water
I gobble up the moon
The currents they caught her
Hiding in my room
Mirrors in her eyes
She was wet, she was soaking
Ashes in the ocean
And her heart was broken

:laugh: sounds visually Mama-esque :D
i absolutely LOVE Did You Miss Me
i think it's becoming an addiction

thanks for posting all these lyrics
cant wait for the album :thumbsup:

[trackaghost]

Peestie helped me work out the lines I couldn't get for Love Runs Deeper! :)


Love Runs Deeper
Well you came to me
You cooled my mind
The stakes were high
Impossible to describe
I loved you little child
How you mystified
Just a blinding flash
We were parallel lines

Love runs deeper from the underground
Love runs deeper from a broken home
Black angel can’t be alone
Love runs deeper from the underground

In the shadow moon
Steel tears I cried
You were out of tune
It seemed to suit my dark side
You had a prophet's pose
And two states of mind
Well I was sure I'd go
We were parallel lines

Love runs deeper from the underground
Love runs deeper from a broken home
Black angel can’t be alone
Love runs deeper from the underground

Love runs deeper from the underground
Love runs deeper from a broken home
Black angel can’t be alone
Love runs deeper from the underground

Hmm. Can't make heads or tales of it. But it sounds good.
