View Full Version : Best Mamgu Ever lyrics?

Was curious as to whether these exist, anywhere? My ears and my Google skills have failed me miserably. I know he's definitely singing something, because in live versions (listening to it at Ancienne Belgique at the moment) there's definitely a full set of lyrics, though they're somewhat obscured in the original track on Oblivion with Bells.
If not: anybody want to have a shot? All I can make out is your silence is like a kiss, I feel you--

my shot at the lyrics (the way they are presented live {Bruxelles Ancienne Belgique 31.01.2008})
You float
Come down slow
full association i hear you.
I hear wheels
On marbled floor
You drop white china hotel... for more
the wind is dripping from you face
between me and the sun
i love the way done from (?)
when I'm hungry
your side of this
is like a kiss i feed you
remember you

You Do Scribble lyrics from live shows are borrowed from Lenny Penny.

the wind is dripping from you face
between me and the sun
i love the way done from (?)... I think it´s "who loved the way we don´t follow"
when I'm hungry... isn´t it something with "humbly"?
your side of this is like a kiss
i feed you
remember you...... It sounds more like "your silence is like a kiss, I feel you, remember you"
the rest is very difficult for me to understand due to my limited English

the 'Vision Come On' lyrics were used in the Lenny Penne Acid remix long before they appeared over Bamboo.

YDS with lyrics was at least as early as Tokyo '05 (probably earlier)...was Mamgu heard before OWB?

Yer first time YDS was played was during Exit Festival, but was lyricless.

Actually, YDS's first time was Sophia, the day before Exit, and it was also lyricless then. Sometime between Exit and HMH is when it gained lyrics. Which leads me to suspect that they were cribbed from Mamgu. Also, the "studio" version heard on the 2008 Isle of Wight radio show doesn't have lyrics.

Never knew what Mamgu meant. Sorry for your loss.
It was interesting reading the lyrics. I think the clearest delivery of the lyrics is in the Underworld vs Bungalow with Stairs broadcast on 12-11-2008.

For what its worth, if words / lyrics cant really describe how you should feel about a person's passing then this song has nailed it to a t

One of my favorite UW tracks. My take:
you float
come down slow
full association / I hear you
I hear wheels
on marbled floor
you drop white china until / <something> for more
the wind is dripping from your face
between me and the sun
I love the way you done from
when I'm hungry
your silence / is like a kiss I feel you
remember you
Can't make out that word in the last line of the first verse at all – it's pretty much swallowed, and I don't want to just guess. Ah, well. It's unfortunate the song has only (AFAIK) been played live once.
