Buckingham/McVie lyric thread

[Murrow]

Feel free to be the first to post the lyric to anything released prior to the album (which I imagine will have the lyrics anyway if the last 42 years are anything to go by).

Gonna post the first two now.

[Murrow]

IN MY WORLD
Lindsey Buckingham

Fare farewell
Heart of gold
Maybe we're lost
Without the cost
Of stories that we've told

In my world
Everybody stays
Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say
Bless my soul
Let the night unfurl
Dancing, spinning, dreaming
Singing in my world

Fare farewell
Liberty
Maybe we're lost
Without the cost
Of who we used to be

In my world
Everybody stays
Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say
Bless my soul
Let the night unfurl
Dancing, spinning, dreaming
Singing in my world

(break)

Lay lay down
Fall about
Take your time
To cross the line
All without a doubt

In my world
Everybody stays
Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say
Bless my soul
Let the night unfurl
Dancing, spinning, dreaming
Singing in my world

[Murrow]

FEEL ABOUT YOU
Christine McVie-Lindsey Buckingham

You're so far away
I wonder if you hear what I say
This love for you I can't conceal

That's how I feel
You are the sky at night
Black and white
Green and blue
That's how I feel
You are so beautiful
Beautiful
That's how I feel about you

You're honey in my tea
You're jam - it tastes the sweetest to me
This love for you I can't conceal

That's how I feel
You are the sky at night
Black and white
Green and blue
That's how I feel
You are so beautiful
Beautiful
That's how I feel about you

instrumental break

You're so far away
I know that you'll be back anyday
I am a magnet, you are steel

That's how I feel
You are the sky at night
Black and white
Green and blue
That's how I feel
You are so beautiful
Beautiful
That's how I feel about you

ad lib to fade

FEEL ABOUT YOU
Written by both - not sure who's singing lead

You're so far away
I wonder if you hear what I say
This love for you I can't conceal

That's how I feel
You are the sky at night

Green and blue
That's how I feel
You are so beautiful
Beautiful
That's how I feel about you

You're honey in my tea
Your ?? tastes the sweetest to me
This love for you I can't conceal

That's how I feel

I also cannot figure out just what word Christine is saying there.... what is she tasting??? :shrug:

Jelly? That's what it sounds like from here. :shrug:

Edit: also, lol.

and SATC (from our own fmfanuk's site http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/stillgoinginsane/albums/seedswesow_lyrics.html), although these are original solo lyrics so we will see whether they changed anything for BuckVie -

Sleeping Around The Corner

She called to me
Meet me at the border
Wake me up when my papers are in order

Lord I dont want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner

Lord I dont want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner

We made sweet love over and over
She said oh sweet darling
I'm your little red rover

Lord I dont want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner

She said to me, I dont mean to scorn you
But I'm been lying
And I've been too scared to warn you

Lord I dont want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner

Lord I dont want to bring you down
No, I never meant to give you a frown
I'm just sleeping around the corner

Pretty sure it's jam that Chris is singing.
"Your jam it tastes the sweetest to me."

[bombaysaffires]

honey and jam?? :eek:

[Andyleo]

Well she's had sweeter than wine 🍷 lol

[Murrow]

Pretty sure it's jam that Chris is singing.
"Your jam it tastes the sweetest to me."

Have amended duly - although I have it as "You're jam - it tastes the sweetest to me".

[TrueFaith77]

Have amended duly - although I have it as "You're jam - it tastes the sweetest to me".

What a difference an apostrophe makes. :eek:

[bombaysaffires]

Have amended duly - although I have it as "You're jam - it tastes the sweetest to me".

It shouldn't have the apostrophe.

With the apostrophe, "You're jam-- it tastes the sweetest to me" is saying "You are jam-- it tastes the sweetest to me"

When really the line is saying your jam is sweeter than any other jam to me. So you need the possessive 'your'

"Your jam, it tastes the sweetest to me".

And I agree with the poster who said in one of these threads that that line sounds a bit naughty...

[FuzzyPlum]

mmmmm toe jam :eek:

[BombaySapphire3]

I'm pretty certain she is saying it is your jelly that taste the sweetest to me ..kind of a randy old bird she is :lol:

Damn! That woman knows how to get the best of us with every song she writes! :lol::lol:

[Murrow]

The lyric booklet will reveal all. I expect I was wrong about the apostrophe though...

[jbrownsjr]

Damn! That woman knows how to get the best of us with every song she writes! :lol::lol:

I love her style.

[lennonfan]

I love her style.


It takes a masterful songwriter to pull off what she did in that song:)
I have to agree that was a bit naughty of Chris but I love that it's really -you- who makes it naughty, she's just talking about condiments! lol.
I love it.

There's a brilliance to it that goes over most people's heads. :thumbsup:

Exactly! It takes a very special mind to understand a fellow one. :)

Re. In My World verse 2:

Fare farewell
Liberty
Maybe we're lost
Without the cost
Of who we used to be

- I'm pretty sure it's 'Farewell Velveteen', not 'Liberty', which obviously carries connotations withn the band... I wonder when Lindsey wrote the lyrics?

Velveteen is a cloth made in imitation of velvet. :lol::lol:

[Murrow]

I was also considering the "YOU'RE honey in my tea" and trying to make it tie in with that.

Of course having inadvertently written a song for Bill Clinton before now, the line "Your jam it tastes the sweetest to me" could easily be about Monica Lewinsky...

Ah it's the sequel to Everybody Finds Out.

[blinker12]

On "Feel About You," I hear:

"Your candy tastes the sweetest to me."

[TrueFaith77]

On "Feel About You," I hear:

I think it's more of a tea and crumpets imagery, but what magnets and steel have to do with that I don't know. so you might be quite correct.

[michelej1]

Velveteen is a cloth made in imitation of velvet. :lol::lol:

Lindsey really into the Velveteen Rabbit.

Just kidding. I think it's liberty.

You're all quite right, of course, it is 'Liberty', not 'veleveteen'. My ears failed me. That's what comes of too many front rows at Rolling Stones concerts!

Move along, nothing to see here...

Who has truncated this thread and why? I put the Red Sun lyrics in here a couple days ago and now nothing after May 5th is showing.

It looks like quite a few threads across a number of forums have jumped back a few days. It doesn't seem to be all threads as quite a few are still showing 'yesterday' as post dates. However, there do seem to be quite a few that have been lost. Is The Ledge under a cyber-attack? :confused:

Posts from June 1st until yesterday's afternoon are gone. At first I thought I did something wrong and my posts were deleted but then I realized they're all goooone! :shrug:

RED SUN
Christine McVie/Lindsey Buckingham

I wonder where you are
As I fall upon my bed
And I think about the way we were
So much left unsaid

I wonder what you're doing
As I walk along the shore
You took your love away from me
When I only wanted more

Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
And it's worse for me at night you know
When the red sun kisses the sea

Slowly breaks the dawn today
Heralded by the sun
My favourite time of day
Or so I thought when we began

My mind is filled with journeys
Echoed with your smile
No you won't take that away from me
Even if you try

Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
And it's worse for me at night you know
When the red sun kisses the sea

guitar solo

Repeat chorus twice

Ad lib to fade

[seanthompson]

Thank you, Murrow! I love 'Red Sun'!

[Murrow]

Thank you, Murrow! I love 'Red Sun'!

A pleasure sir :-)

No idea if this is accurate because I still haven't heard the song. :laugh: Not my work, of course.

Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie – Too Far Gone


Something's creepin' and crawlin' down my spine
Lips are tinglin' and I'm feelin' so fine
I see you look at me
The way you shouldn't do
I know it darling
'cause I feel the same way too

Too far gone to turn around
Too far, goin' underground
Too far gone

I know what I'm feelin'
It's just a waste of time
'Cause I love you darlin'
Can't get you out of my mind
Maybe I'll move to the other side of town
Find some place where I can't see you look around

Too far gone to turn around
Too far, goin' underground
Too far gone

Too far gone to turn around
Too far, goin' underground
Too far gone
Too far

Too far gone to turn around
Too far, goin' underground
Too far gone

Too far gone
Yes I'm too far gone
Too far gone
Yes I'm too far gone

Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie – Carnival Begin


I open my eyes
The ship was out at sea
People I didn't know
Places I never did see
Too late to conceal it
Too late to hide it
Too late to reveal it
Too late to fight it

I want it all
All the colors and swings
A new merry go round
Carnival begin

You opened the door
And I stepped in
Not knowing where I'm going
But I know I'm gonna win
I can fly again
Got the freedom in my mouth
Travellin' girl is movin' north, west, east, and south

I want it all
All the sparkling things
A new merry go round
Carnival begin

I'll take it all
I may lose or win
A new merry go round
Carnival begin

I always wondered
If you ever miss me
I always thought I heard you call
I always wanted
Wanted to hear your voice
Summer turned into fall

I want it all
Those sparkles and swings
A new merry go round
Carnival begin

I'll take it all
I may lose or win
A new merry go round
Carnival begin

[jbrownsjr]

^^^ Those lyrics and that song give me chills.

"Love Is Here To Stay" - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie


Tender was your miracle
Tender was your whispered voice
As I lay this soul to rest
Even though I stayed too long
Even though I had no choice
I will do what I do best

Wind blows one way
Time goes
But love is here to stay

When stars come out at night
When the moon is full enough
I will lay this soul to rest
Brook of flowers, hearts of stone
Even though I played too rough
I will do what I do best

Wind blows one way
Time goes
But love is here to stay

In the blue and gray
You ran out to play
Seems like yesterday

Tender was your miracle
Tender was your whispered voice
As I lay this soul to rest
Even though I stayed too long
Even though I had no choice
I will do what I do best

Wind blows one way
Time goes
But love is here to stay

Wind blows one way
Time goes
But love is here to stay

"Lay Down For Free" - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie



Strange music echoed in my head
I waited for words left unsaid
The rains came and washed away my fear
I heard you whisper in my ear

I won't lay down
Lay down for free
I won't lay down
Lay down for free
For free
For free

I touched you
But you were not alone
I reached for you
But you were not at home
I stood by beside our broken bed
Her voice said, calling in my head

I won't lay down
Lay down for free
I won't lay down
Lay down for free
For free
For free

I won't lay down
Lay down for free
I won't lay down
Lay down for free
For free
For free

"Game Of Pretend" - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie



Did I say too much, darling?
Did I give
Give the game away?
Was it that touch that set off the thunder?
More than words could ever say

'Cause you are the reason for my happiness
And I am so blessed
So blessed to find you
You take, take away the emptiness
And I will follow, follow behind you

Did I want too much, baby?
Did I cause you too much pain?
You burn so bright just like a fire
More than words could ever say

'Cause you are the reason for my happiness
And I am so blessed
So blessed to find you
You take, take away the emptiness
And I will follow, follow behind you

I guess I'll never know, dear
'Cause I can't see this end
My heart is where you go, dear
No more games
Game of pretend

'Cause you are the reason for my happiness
And I am so blessed
So blessed to find you
You take, take away the emptiness
And I will follow, follow behind you

"On With The Show" - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie



Dead on the ground
I am making a sound
I am too proud to drown
Too proud to drown
As long as I stand
I will take your hand
I will stand with my band
Stand with my band

There's nowhere to go
But on down the road
Let's get on with the show
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on with the show

Waiting too long
But there's no right or wrong
Only where I belong
Where I belong
There'll come a day
When we all feel the same
And we live for the game
Live for the game

There's nowhere to go
But on down the road
Let's get on with the show
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on with the show

There's nowhere to go
But on down the road
Let's get on with the show
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on
Let's get on let's get on

Having listened to the whole album and compared with what's been put here, the only bit I would question is the bit where the typed line is "You ran out to play". I heard it as "We ran out to play". I hope this thread will be treated as authoritative when it comes to compiling the lyric page for the discographies.

I don't get the opening verse to this song at all.

I mean who opens a song with the line "Dead on the ground"?? :eek:

And how does this lyric tie in to where the rest of the song goes??

He opens by saying he's dead on the ground moaning, and he's too proud to die ......soooo....... he'll take Stevie's hand, and get on with show instead??

The second verse is pretty literal and clearly about the state of the band, and someday they'll all be on the same page and want the same thing (a final album together??) before time runs out.

Waiting too long
But there's no right or wrong
Only where I belong
Where I belong
There'll come a day
When we all feel the same
And we live for the game
Live for the game

But that opening verse is so grim and.... odd. :shrug:

I don't know from where he gets the idea that one day they will all work together again in the same studio. :shrug:

well, he still had some hope back when he wrote it, which was the tour before the tour when Christine returned-- the "On With The Show" tour.

He might feel differently today. :o

Yeah, I think he already gave up. Hence, "In My World" and "Lay Down for Free". :shrug:
