Prospekt's March E.P. (LYRICS)

Featured Replies

Hey there - spent quite a lot of time on it, some of it is still terribly wrong I feel, but here it goes: :)

 

Life in Technicolor ii:

 

There's a wild wind blowing

Down the corner of my street

Every night there the headlights are glowing

As a cold war coming

on the radio I heard

baby, it's a violent world!

 

Oh, love, don't let me go!

Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?

I can hear it coming

I can hear the siren sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

 

Time came a-creeping

oh, and time's a loaded gun

every road is a ray of light

It goes oooooonnnn…

time only can lead you on

still it's such a beautiful night

 

Oh, love, don't let me go!

Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?

I can hear it coming

Like a serenade of sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

 

Gravity, release me

and don't ever hold me down,

now my feet won't touch the ground.

 

 

Glass Of Water

 

Scared of losing 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 lines

and he asked 'will I see Heaven in mine?'

 

That is just the way it was

Nothing could be better

and nothing ever was

Oh, they say you can see your future

Inside a glass of water

the riddles and the rhymes

Will I see heaven in mine?

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I!

 

Son, don't ask

neither how full or 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

Television selling plastic figurines of leaders

Sayin' nothing at all

And we chime

Stars in heaven align

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I!

 

Son, don't ask

neither how full or empty is your glass!

Cling to the mast,

spend your whole life living in the past,

going nowhere fast!

 

And what are we drinking when we're done?

Glasses of water.

 

 

Rainy Day

 

Then there was rain

The sky wore a veil of gold and grey

At night it was the bright of the moon with me

Time just floated..

 

Then there was rain

This town foundations are crumbling

Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling

And time's just floating away

We can watch it and stay

And we can listen

 

Oh rainy day, come 'round

Sometimes i just want it to slow down

And we're separated now, i'm down

But I love when you come over to the house

I love it when you come 'round to my house

 

Then there was rain,

I spent the night with the queen of Spain

My lonely little heart would've broke again

Times were vicious.

Say, singing "Deeper than the knife goes in, the more you win

You end up with less than when you begin.

Deeper than the knife goes in..."

Ohhhh...

 

Oh, rainy day, come 'round!

Sometimes I just want to slow down

We're separated now

I'm down

but I love it when you come over to the house

I love it when you come over to my house

aaaaahhhh...

But I love it when you come over to the house

I love when you come over to my house

But I love it when you come over to the house

I love when you come over to my house

 

 

Prospekt's March/Poppyfields:

 

Smoke is risin' from the houses

People buryin' their dead

I asked somebody what the time is

but time doesn't matter to them yet

People talking without speaking

tryin' to take what they can get

I ask you if you remember

Prospekt how could I forget

Drums

here it comes!

Don't you wish your life could be as simple

as fish swimming round in a barrel

when you've got the gun

oh and I run…

here it comes.

We're just two little figures in a soup bowl

tryin to get beyond a kind of control

but I wasn't one.

 

Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky

and here I lie on my own in a separate sky

I don't wanna die,

on my own here tonight

But here I lie on my own in a separate sky…

 

 

Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground:

 

Let me go, boys,

let me go

push my boat from the highest cliff

To the sea below

Rocks are waiting, boys,

Rocks await

swim down from the sky

and catch me like a bird of prey.

Now my feet won't touch the ground

now my head won't stop

you wait a lifetime to be found

now my feet won't touch the ground

 

Singing, now my feet won't touch the ground

now my head won't stop

you wait a lifetime to be found

now my feet won't touch the ground…

now my feet won't touch the ground.

As a cold wall coming on the radio I heard

 

I believe its "and a cold war coming on the radio I heard"..

 

Nevertheless, you've done a great job!! I was working on a lyrics for couple of hours, but then gave it up on a second verse of Rainy Day :)

 

thanks!)

  • Author

It's cold wall for sure;)

i think it's a cold WAR...you know...wars are quite violent...and hence...it's a violent world

yeah I reckon its a war. violent world, etc.. makes sense

  • Author

Yep, just heard it again, you're right;)

thanks a lot

Great, thanks! :)

im having trouble deciding if i want to listen or not =\ help!

 

edit// obviously i WANT to listen lol but idk if i want to wait til its out. i had said i wouldnt give into temptation like i did with VLV... but then again i say a lot of crazy things.

What I could decipher from Rainy Day

 

Then there was rain

I asked for the love of the queen of Spain

my lonely little heart would of broken again

times so vicious

singing, deeper than the knife goes in

the more you win

you end up with less than where you began

deeper than the knife goes in

Oh

Life in Technicolour ii:

 

I can hear rain coming

 

**I THINK ITS**

 

" I can hear it coming"

 

 

--------------------------------

 

time only can leech amongst

 

**I THINK ITS**

 

"time only can lead you on"

 

 

 

*just my random opinion, so who knows until we have the real lyrics come out!! great job nonetheless!

Then there was rain

The sky wore a veil of gold and "GREY" (NOT GREEN i think)

At night it was the bright of the moon with me

Time was just floating..

Can anyone tell what is being said in Rainy Day about 10 seconds in? Someone says something, but I can't make it out.

I think it is 'I Can Hear it coming'

The sound foundations are crumbling

 

I think it's This town foundations are crumbling...

There's a wild wind blowing

Down the corner of my street

Every night there the headlights are glowing

As a cold war coming on the radio I heard

baby, it's a violent world!

 

Oh, love, don't let me go!

Gravity, release me

or forever hold me down,

now my feet won't touch the ground.

 

 

 

great lyrics great song, almost perfect, but doesn't chris say still it's such a beautiful life?

Then there was rain

I asked for another queen of Spain

not only the heart broken man

time was delicious

said,...

.....goes in before you win,

you win but with less the way you begin

.......goes in...

Ohhhh...

For that last bit, I hear:

 

Gravity, release me

No, don't ever hold me down

Now my feet won't touch the ground

 

Don't know if that's right, but I honestly don't hear "forever" in there. Maybe that's just me? I think it makes more sense this way, too.

@CookyMnstr: Are you from Slovenia perhaps?:) Or did you use google translator! ;):D

 

Thanks everybody, going to do a few more listens today, maybe I get to hear something new, but thanks to everybody who's made their contribution:)
