Re: Barbara Barbara - The Lyrics
I Exhale
---------------- Life It's a touch Everything is golden Open Rider Stumble Catch Yeah, great Well Yeah You talk too fast The how to one is Great December Monday morning OK Whatchu got? Shiver and smile (Stare, stare like a bear, then you'll know me anywhere) Studs like tiny stars Your shoes appear (Stare, stare like a bear, call your mother ginger hair) Sharp shadow Clean dirt Metal poles Statuesque (Stare, stare like a bear, then you'll know me anywhere) Glass crown In a blue sky Asbestos roofs (Stare, stare like a bear, call your mother ginger hair) Corrugated rhythms Big blue (Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...) Big blue (Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...) Spangled top Leather jacket Run your fingers through your hair We're nearly there Hiding in the dark Shelter from the wind Hold hands In a doorway A crafty one Bus(???) Hopped up Hidden Flashing lights Look The lights One above every door Towers Clean Cut White Line Tell you how high things are In the distance Good Look Too many jobs Knock on Inside out Two levels Rubble Smash it up Get it down Do as much as you can Step out Fresh A line of rocks Connected by Red and white tape You're bigger than that Things Start happening Mouths Keep talking Sun low and cold I'm so great A light a glow over the horizon I want to tell you everything rhythm of consent Constant lips??? sleeping Park it Cover it tie it up Float it chain it to a fence Tie stripey tape to it Put it on the roof Set fire to it Pile 'em up A light a glow over the horizon A light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow over the horizon a light a glow the horizon |

Re: Barbara Barbara - The Lyrics
OK, I Exhale (above) was pretty long. I've got most of it, but there are few sections (with question marks ???) that could use some help. (Edit: fixed up most of it, I think)
I gave up on formatting and the counter-point after the beginning, and just focused on getting Karl's lyrics right. I'll fix that up later. Any suggestions/corrections welcome. P.S. The live versions are no help. I didn't realize this before, but those performances are significantly edited down from the album version, cutting out over 3 minutes of verses. |

Re: Barbara Barbara - The Lyrics
How about the lyrics to Ova Nova? I can't quite figure out all the lyrics. The fragments that I can understand and believe are correct. If anyone can add to this make corrections that would be great.
children children fresh and home and traditional children roam and warm and choice.. i apologise you forget to rest everything you want ... your name ... your selection ... break your heart you're a passenger of bedlam everything i want coming my way life change your mind that's a paradox of choice that's a business of options ... future collected nations everybody everybody everybody |

Re: Barbara Barbara - The Lyrics
It's a lot easier to make out the lyrics on the Pig & Dan remix. For example, it's "I'm chilled" instead of "children". I'll give it a go in a bit.

Re: Barbara Barbara - The Lyrics - Twenty Three Blue
A slight necropost, but this track never leaves my head and I can't believe there aren't most postings about the lyrics and the song. I so wish they'd release it as a single (or within a single release). Not on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon - almost doesn't exist. But those who've heard it clearly love it.
Here are the lyrics gleaned from Karl's diary entries 4th-11th December 2014 Code:
Twenty Three Blue __________________ Little imitation plastic wood girl The wind is coming, wait Time moves slowly on the island Bell the dagger, Bell the digger, horn puller Up the white line... home Nothing is a problem The sound of you, like geese The sound of you, ringing Crystal dirt in the flat bed Shapes I never seen like these before Cover the city tonight Sleek, pale Gold-head Blue come & wrap around us Who will take me home? Walking slow Breathing, upstairs & laughter Rippling.... Footsteps in grey, for listening Dipped in black. Smiling Descends the stairs Winter walks in, The phone rings, I hesitate The name, then answer "Carry cup to see you ‘Late-a’ " Do you feel the cold of winter? Clutching steaming paper It's up to you Before the world wakes up Do u feel the cold of winter x3 Do u feel the cold of winter x2 Red & black Between the trees Billy Billy Billy Left-foot, drag the stone Walking for the wind Cold knuckles Slow browns and greys Laugh poster-face man Selling Monday in the market Winter streets - dries bones Do u feel the cold...? |
