Given Thing Lyrics
 
This may have been posted before, butt i'll ask anyway. Are there any actual lyrics to "Given Thing" or is it just some sort of unfinished track off the GOS project.
Indeed if anyone has any interpretations i would enjoy reading, by all means post them.

This is from Nancy from BN:

Oh, my love
Someday
Everyone who's happening
Won't be happening to stay

Oh, darling
Given time
Everything that seems alright
Will be nothing down the line
Given time
I'll miss something
Oh, time
It's a given thing

Oh, my love
Someday
Everyone who's happening
Won't be happening to stay

Oh, darling
Given time
Everything that seems alright
Will be nothing down the line
Given time
I'll miss something
Oh, time
It's a given thing

Some will find
Left behind
Someone blind
Left behind

Some will cry
Down the line
Lately I'm
Down the line
Given time
Down the line

Oh, time, yeah, oh
It's a given thing
It's a given thing
It's a given thing

She did put up a disclaimer that she might not be entirely accurate, since yeah, the lyrics are barely discernible.

Thanks But the version I have sounds nothing like a match to any of the above lyrics.
Attached Below is the only version of Given Thing I have and you should really check it out to make sure im not going nuts. I cant make out one word apart from "its a given thing"

I've only got the first part of the song, so far. Does this sound close to what he's singing?

Set me down
Set me down
Set me down an offer.

Take me by
Standin' high
I'll tell you if you want to

Take me by
Stroke of dawn
Trouble (?) if you knew too.

Walk me down
Walk me down
Talk me down at all.

It's a given thing

Ahhh now thats much more like it, dunno how you worked it out but surely its a hell of a lot closer than Nancy's Version. Which makes me now think does she have a different version of Given thing that shes willing to share.

I have two different versions of Given Thing. One is the shorter version, of which Lori posted the lyrics above, the other is a longer version (3:23) and that one matches Nancy's lyrics.

I can upload the longer one for you, but it's a 23 mb FLAC file... don't know if you're interested. :wavey:

Yeah, that sounds more like it. Actually, I'd really like to hear that song live.:nod:

I ADORE both demo's. I'm still torn between those versions, which differ a LOT. I lean towards the Papa hohoho papa-short version, it's a hell-of-a-party-inside-two-minutes. On the other hand the longer one is more of a SONG. Which one do you prefer and why?

danax6 05-25-2007 08:33 AM

Here's the longer version:
