whoops

Anyone had a shot at the lyrics yet? I've had a go at The Fall Of Man... definitely the hardest of the bunch, that stupid mumbly Chris in the chorus! ^^

 

I'll post my attempted (and failed) deciphering if people want to see...?

sure!:nice:

the accent + the fact that he only has some lyrics made up +mumbling = really difficult to understand lyrics:lol:

The Fall of Man

 

Sleep on the ocean

Sleep on the sand

I’ve been very busy since the fall of man

Son of the devil

You won’t understand

Now come on, baby,

That's a sudden end

 

Speak of the devil

Inside my head

You’ve been very busy since the world's gonna end

Tired of the symbol

The sun, the sand

Talk a little louder, I don't understand.

 

Gonna get the supper to the world tonight (hahahah, no. That’s what I’m hearing though, so sue me!)

??? I’m gonna fall asleep.

There’s a tiny little sin I've gotta do.

Got to say that I’m only holding up at night

Turn with the flow, or this storm

 

There’s a world outside, wanna let you in

There’s a world outside, not going in

There’s a world outside that wanna let you in

 

Love, love got over that storm

Before you get somewhere,

Oh, love got over that storm.

 

I've got a wife and kids, a boy named Jack.

I went out for a ride, and I never came back.

HELPED BY gotcheese2768 - thanks! 8D

hey..wait!.. did i miss something? we have only 3 songs right?..right?!:stunned:

^ YES! DEVIL! Thanks! That fits perfectly! 8D

 

I had a shot at The Man Who Swears - about 100x times easier! And since the lyrics are easier to understand - WOW! They're gorgeous!

 

awesome scatting

 

There’s a man who swears he’s God,

But I’m pretty sure he’s not.

There’s a man who walks around

Like he owns the fucking lot.

 

There’s a man who takes his time,

From the hands of a booky (?) clock

You can hear him walk around

‘Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.’

 

awesome scatting

 

At first, it was easy

But now why’s it have to be so hard?

Heaven is a fire escape

You try to cling to in the dark

 

At first it was simple

But now it got to complicate

But the world just got a lovely time,

Or blame it all on my mistake!

 

Maybe I’ll find heaven?

One day, after dark?

Maybe you’ll find heaven is a place to part?

 

Heaven is a fire escape

You try to cling to in the dark

 

I LOVE THAT! :D

The Fall of Man

 

Sleep on the ocean

Sleep on the sand

I’ve been very busy since the fall of man

Son of the devil

You won’t understand

Now come on, baby,

At the sudden end-maybe that's a sudden end

 

Speak of the devil

Beside my hand-maybe inside my head

You’ve been very busy since the worlds gonna end

Tired of the symbol

The sun, the sand

Talk a little louder I don't understand

 

2 lines i just can't get lol

There’s a tiny little sin

Got to say that I’m only holding up at night

Turn with the flow, or this storm

 

the rest sounds good

 

There’s a world outside, wanna let you in

There’s a world outside, not going in

There’s a world outside that wanna let you in

 

Love, love got over that storm

Before you get somewhere,

Oh, Love got over that storm.

 

 

I've got a wife and kids, a boy named Jack.

I went out for a light, and I never came back.

You won’t understand

Now come on, baby,

At the sudden end-maybe that's a sudden end

 

'You won't understand' sounds better, yeah.

 

I don't know about 'that's a sudden end' - it definitely makes more sense, but I can't hear the 'th' sound at all. Hmm.

 

Nevermind - I've been listening, and it definitely sounds like that. Thanks!

 

Beside my hand-maybe inside my head

 

Yeah. Been listening to this as well and I think you're right. Also, the 'little sin' instead of 'little star'. You're good at this. :P

oooh, i like both your guesses!

i sometimes suck at that kinda stuff. goodbye and goodnight sounds like:

blarrghhbabab hdjjjll lsdjfjd;;,fs

The Man Who Swears ii

(Just doin' them in order, people. Feel free to post corrections! 8D)

----

 

Oh, shit, I forgot the middle bit of The Man Who Swears… *random mumbling*

 

Control the way we turn,

We are doing everything we can

We still can’t seem to switch it on.

And oh, my time ran out.

 

And I am floating up beneath the clouds

Trying to turn it on, it on.

 

And oh,

It’s you, baby.

I’m so sorry.

Baby, I’d’ve done it, turning me on.

 

----

That last bit is pretty much indecipherable, but I tried. @_@

Dang. I was following this one and now I'm too late... :bigcry:

When I hear some of the song I think, WTF A Spell a Rebel Yell as a b-side... The Fall of Man has become my favorite track :)

I want a pm please, too ... for demos :lol:

I have follow the thread sice yesterday and now I'm too late :cry:

Goodnight. :P

Yeah - I just realised that before you posted as well as noticing I hadn't put in the very first line of the song! D'oh. :P

Okay I've just spent the last half an hour going through about the last 40 pages of this thread!

I've got the first three demos (which are amazing!)

Regretting going to bed now. :bigcry:

Why did they have to be posted at 4-5am!

 

Could someone please PM me a link to the demos?

Yeah - I just realised that before you posted as well as noticing I hadn't put in the very first line of the song! D'oh. :P

 

lol. have u done the rest. i can't seem to get much

Got the first 3, can I have a link to the others please?

 

:)

If someone wants link,pm me :).

Had a go at First Steps:

 

First Steps

 

Help me out, help me out

‘Cause I’m falling and I can’t get back.

And there isn’t any number I can call for that.

 

Oh, help me out, help me out

‘Cause I fall, and I was so scared

I know what was severed, and I’m rolling in

 

Even when the sun set

It burned my eyes

Even when the dark

Began to burn

 

And just because I roll, it dies

And turned to worse

Together for the grace of God,

I don’t know why.

The second and fourth verses make absolutely NO sense at all, so I'm positive I got pretty much all of them wrong. I just wrote what I could hear. :P
