I wanted to take this time to see if people knew some lyrics and if we could MESH together and get the final product rolling on them. Lyrics I'm missing areeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
1. Monkey Feelings
2. Book I Write
3. All I Got Is Me
So! If anyone wants to post what they got, connect them together, so we can finally put to rest the holy grail.
What is Monkey Feelings from? I've heard of it but i've never actually listened to it. And I don't think its on any full album.
It's on the Sister Jack single. It's awesome, get your hands on it if you can. I know Best Buy surprisingly has copies on hand most of the time and they're usually $5.
Thanks for giving me something to do when I should be sleeping! Here's "Monkey Feelings," transcribed by me. Please correct me if you hear something different.
You were a fly-by-night
No ?, No plans
I was a practiced mark
Listening to the weatherman
And you said cool it babe
It can't be figured out
You better cool it down now
You gonna wear it out
Mmm, he comin' out on my back (?)
Needle released, cause the heat comes down on our crack (?)
I been good too long
Come on
Come on
I wanna live down where
I gotta move
I gotta move
I wanna live nowhere
Aw you move back down South
With your new headband
Before the word's even out
Knew 'bout the rotating fans
And we said cool it babe
You said what's it to me
Said you gotta fight even when you know you're wrong
We all act like we knew what that means
Shake, spittin' out on my back (?)
I know that scene, no I'm not a ??
I'm a ?? (I'm a critic? I'm on crack??)
Come on, oh come on, I've been good too long
I've been good too long
Come on
Well come on
I wanna live nowhere
I got to move
I got to move
Oh no, out to the sticks (?)
As far as what's going on at the end there, it's anyone's guess.
"All I Got Is Me"
I feel myself
going down
So I go throwing my weight around
What good that I've known
Is out the door
Right as rain, and sure as ?? (sounds like "North Elsenore," whatever that means)
And when light (?) feeling cuts
Who's there backing me up
Backing me up
And all
I got
Is me
You know I'm gonna defend
Everything
As soon as, soon as you threaten my king
I'm gonna forget
All I've been told
As soon as I do what I think of below (?)
When night
feeling hits
All their
advocates are thick on the ground
Now they ain't around
And all
I got
Is me
All I got is me
All I got is
All I got is me
All I got
I feel myself
Goin' down
So I go no there's no weight around
What good that I've known
Is out the door
Right as rain, and sure as (North Elsenore again?)
And when light feeling cuts
Who's there looking out for, back me up
Cause all I
All I got
Is
"The Book I Write"
I wanna open this heart
I want so much to play
But both of us
Stay on our guard in the same way
And I know, this is the book I write
All that we knew, just a clue
All that we was, just because I never knew
I wanna trigger your heart
There's something else beside us ever we part (???)
Hey hey
And it's the book I write
I let it go so long
And now the book I write
This is the
No
All that we are, all we do
All that we are, all we do
Is here forever
All that we was, just because
All that we do, just a clue
I never knew
This is the book I write
Oh and I let it go so long
No
Nice! I have to work on it tonight and figure out if I hear anything different.
I'll take a hack at the first verse of "The Book I Write." My interpretation doesn't match wantsarevolution's type-up or the first resource I checked.
I wanna open his heart
It wants so much to be played
But both of us
Stay on guard in the same way
Other than that, I don't have anything to offer.
By the way, does anybody know where I might find Monkey Feelings for less than $5? If not, I may just visit Best Buy. (Thanks, TheDoctor)
I want to know what he sings on It Took A Rumor To Make Me Wonder, Now I'm Convinced I'm Going Under before the part that goes "Come back to Texas and be my wife (save my life/whatever).
I second that, TheUnderdog. Because what I hear is "Witches day, bitches die" and that can't be correct.
It DOES sound a little like he's speaking a foreign language in that part, so maybe the reason I can't understand it is because it's not in English.
Sounds like "bitches day, bitches night" to me. But I might just be a little flustered by Britt's voice proposing to me right through my headphones to hear it properly.
does anybody know sunday morning, Wednesday Night by any chance?
RE: "It took a rumor..."
Listening to it again, I think he says "Which is day, which is night" the first time, and "bitches" the second time.
Anybody got "Sunday Morning's" lyrics already? If not I can transcribe it like I did the others.
That makes more sense than "pictures day/pictures night" which is what I thought he was saying.
Maybe it is "Peaches day, peaches night/Come buy Texas peaches before they die".
or "Princess Grace, Princess Di/Come back to Texas and save my life".
The idea of it saying "Princess Di" and "Texas" so close together reminds me of my first "date" years ago at Lakeline Mall.
Great. I want a freakin' Orange Julius now. Thanks.
Do you guys not know that all Spoon lyrics are available on their website under "discog"?
You know, I had a dream about drinking an Orange Julius the other night.
And, Kerri, not all Spoon lyrics are actually posted in the "discog" section (sadly).
Not all of the lyrics are on the spoon Discography though!
I've been thinking about It Took a Rumor... a lot lately and particuarly what I'm hearing, the "Pictures day/Pictures night". I am well aware that it doesn't make sense, but if you think about The Delicate Place, "picture" is used as a verb in the lyric, "I'll picture for you/If you picture for me".
Can you think of any other Spoon songs where "picture" is used as a verb or in a way that it's not intended to be used? What does "I'll picture for you, if you picture for me" mean to you personally?
"What does "I'll picture for you, if you picture for me" mean to you personally?"
This was said in my best Dr. Ruth voice.
Yikes, that is pretty close. However, one important thing is that the melody is not sampled but rather the beat. Hard to stake claim to a beat.
Oh Spoon lyrics....how they are so hard to come by. Besides album cuts of course
