Miha Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Scared of losin' all the time He wrote it in a letter? He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water With ripples and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see a future, inside a glass of water, With riddles and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine' Ooooh, oooh, ooooh ... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in your past Going nowhere fast And that is just the way it was Hollowest needles… ...on the cards And television set the past and finger... Venus....come somewhere aside and run.. for stars in heaven tonight! Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in your past Going nowhere fast And what I'll be drinking when we're done?

Ultravioletlight25 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks to all for working out most of the lyrics. :) I have been listening to several clips on youtube but the audio is not very clear on any of them that I have seen so far.

Miha Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Three weeks and we'll get the studio version I think we'll decipher it then, it's next to impossible to hear correctly what he says on this audio level, and remember even Violet Hill had some tricky parts (my nerves are poles that unfroze) and even The Kooks' version was sung with different lyrics(my love's opposed...or something like that). A lovely song though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsu Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks so much guys I love this song, I can't wait to hear the full version, I think it may be my favourite ever - even better than my dear, beloved LiJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxKels Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I agree with him^^^.:thinking: I thought I liked LIJ, but the more i really listen to it, it`s just not rubbing me right. (hey i tried):confused: But THIS ONE, I`m loving this song from the first time I heard it, and also feel it may be one of the best they have done!

Ostrich Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That preview has cleared up quite a bit as far as the missing verse is concerned. Here's what I've got so far... Scared of losin' all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see your future, inside a glass of water, The riddles and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine' Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I.... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on the wall. The hollowest of halos is no halo at all. Televisions set in plastic* ....and leaders Sayin' nothing at all. And we tried (?) stars in heaven align Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I.... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast And what I'll be drinking when we're done Just glasses of water *the "tic" in "plastic" carries over to the following line as far as the timing of the song goes. And I'm positive the correct lyrics are NOT "And we tried" for the part following "stars in heaven align," but it's late and after constant replays I'm positive I won't be able to decipher any more tonight. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm quite it's actually.. "And we chimed, stars in heaven align Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Was listening to the the preview on my mp3 right before falling asleep and I had a sudden epiphany! Here are the lyrics... Scared of losin' all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see your future, inside a glass of water, The riddles and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine' Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I.... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on the wall, The hollowest of halos is no halo at all. Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders, sayin' nothing at all. And we chimed, 'stars in heaven align' Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I.... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in, in the past Going nowhere fast And what I'll be drinking when we're done Just glasses of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kspillers2 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Oh my god I was giving myself the big pat on the back for deciphering 'hollowest of halos' but Tnspieler, the 'plastic figurine' lyric -brilliant. If that's not it, it should be! Nice Job-I can't wait for the EP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
