Barking Lyrics

[Malt Refund]

Fellows. Forgive me. Been gone a long time.

How you getting lyrics if the album isn't out yet? Live bootlegs?

Much love.

[TheBang]

We've only done lyrics for songs that been released: Scribble, Always Loved a Film, Grace

Provisional lyrics based on early versions, demos, live versions (from 2008/2009): Bird 1/Strumpet, Between Stars, Diamond Jigsaw, Louisiana/Jumping the Cran

[Lx_Nen]

Well, the first single "Scribble" has been out for a while, the second, "Always Loved a Film" has been played on Pete Tong (and there's an official video), and album track "Grace" is/was for sale on the UK iTunes store (by mistake).

Hehe. Scribble was played by Tong as well as Always Loved a Film. And Grace was accidentally leaked by iTunes UK.

EDIT: Hey Malt, I was gonna send you a PM but it won't let me. Full?

I don't agree. On the iTunes Festival version, it's clearly "Wanna be stars"

It sounds more like a throat or tongue click to me, rather than a vocalization. There's another one right after she says "Bang". I really don't think she's saying "Ka-Bang-Ka". Given Karl's clear "Bang" later on, I think it's more accurate to go with "Bang" here.

Thanks for the New York and Paradise. I blame the accent for those. I'm not 100% convinced that it's "paradise," but it's better than anything I got.

Taters! I cleared it out, should work now. Come at me!

[bryantm3]

yeah guys i'm pretty sure he's not saying 'ka-pow', it's definitely just 'pow'. and that part where he says 'elevator', i think he might be saying escalator...

Thank ya kindly, Swift!

the phenomenon moon in the water
is likened to human experience
the water is the subject
and the moon the object
when there is no water
there is no moon in the water
and likewise
there is no moon
but when the moon rises
the water does not wait
to receive its image
and when even the tiniest
drop of water is poured out
the moon does not wait
to cast its reflection
for the moon
does not intend
to cast its reflection
and the water
does not receive
its image on purpose
the event is caused
as much by the water
as by the moon
and as the water manifests the brightness of the moon
the moon manifests the clarity of the water

the past is already past
the future is not yet here
the present never invites
things are constantly changing
with nothing on which to depend

so many things and words
are confusingly self-created
what is the use of wasting your life
with ?
do not ? your time on ?
or pursue your fashioned imaginations

sincerely and wholeheartedly
make inquiries
and also reflect within yourself
inquiring and reflecting
reflecting and inquiring
until the moment comes when no further inquiries are possible
for this is the time
when you realize
that all your past
has been in the wrong

(for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize
for this is the time
when you realize...)

Pretty heavy stuff for what's apparently become a "disco track"...
