April 29, 200818 yr Ok, thanks to alyssa, jc90, Silverspira, lumberjack2 and many others here they are: Was a long and dark December From the rooftops i remember There was snow White snow Clearly i remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fog Became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in honor When i'm dead and hit the ground A love back home unfolds If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below So if you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me, Won't you let me know?
April 29, 200818 yr I don't understand the bit right before he says "by a carnival of idiots" and a few other places. :(

April 29, 200818 yr Some of the lyrics are "Carnival of idiots"?????!!!!! OH MY GOD - anyone remember... he said that when he presented Zane Lowe's show with Simon Pegg!!!! We've had lyrics all this time and we didn't even realise!!!!!!!
April 29, 200818 yr I hear: was a long and dark december from the rooftops i remember there was snow white snow clearly i remember from the windows they were watching while we froze down below when the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show you'd better lie low if you love me won't you let me know? was a long and dark december when the banks became cathedrals and the fog became god priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles and the cross was held aloft bury me in honor when i'm dead and hit the ground a love back home unfolds if you love me won't you let me know?

April 29, 200818 yr I think "when the banks became cathedrals" sounds most correct but what the heck does that mean? O.o and to me it sounds like he's saying "and the fog became gone" or something...
April 29, 200818 yr Some of the lyrics are "Carnival of idiots"?????!!!!! OH MY GOD - anyone remember... he said that when he presented Zane Lowe's show with Simon Pegg!!!! We've had lyrics all this time and we didn't even realise!!!!!!! :P First thing I thought of. M.
April 29, 200818 yr Was a long and dark december, When the banks became Cathedrals And the fog became God. Priests clutched onto Bibles, Hollowed out to fit their rifles, And the cross was held aloft. Bury me in honour when I'm dead and hit the ground, The words i've posed were unclothed: If you love me won't you let me know. I don't wanna be a soldier Who blew the Captain of some sinking ship, With stone, far below:
April 29, 200818 yr captain of some sinking ship- captain of a sinking ship from bucket for a crown, "i remember" :) Yeahhh!!
April 29, 200818 yr i can't figure out if he's saying "and went out to fit their rifles" or "all rode out to fit their rifles", but it's pretty much the same :laugh3: what he says after fog is frustrating me tho--sounds like a "g" sound but gone doesn't make any sense IMO... edit: oooh, and the fog became God? hm... I was thinking that too but I didn't hear the "d" at the end.. that would fit in with "cathedrals" though. :D if so then we've got this whole thing figured out then!
April 29, 200818 yr their best lyrics by far.... and yes he's definitely saying the "fog became god" ... "blew the captain" sounds a little off though, ha ha
April 29, 200818 yr I can't figure it all out, in some parts Chris voice is drenched in music, it's pretty difficult, but something like this: It was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze Down below When the future’s our protection/architected? By a carnival of idiots On show/I’m sure You better lie low If you love me won’t you let me know? It was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedral And the fog Priests clutched onto bibles Are all out to fit/fake their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in armour/honour Well I didn’t/dead and hit the ground Love’s a pose, unfolds(?) If you love me won’t you let me know? I don’t want to be a soldier And the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below If you love me why’d you let me go? I took my love down to Violet Hill There we sat in snow All that time she’d be silent still If you love me won’t you let me know? If you love me won’t you let me know? Please, feel free to add or change, I'm not shure it's correct, english isn't even my first language.
