i hear "light a fire off of a spark".........it does make sense. It's quite clear in the werchter version.

 

also, i'm sure it's "comebusting the concrete". definitely not "come burting the concrete" in my opinon

I hear "Light a fire up out o' spark".

I hear 'Light a fire up by the spark'

 

:D

I hear 'Light a fire up by the spark'

 

:D

 

That's what I hear too.

I think it definately is 'light a fire up by the spark'

And in the Sky1 advert, it's definitely

'As the room spinning goes...'

:D

 

that confusing!

which all the lyrics is correct?

and what is the official name? Charlie Brown or Cartoon Heart

I prefer the name Charlie Brown.

I think it will be "Charlie Brown" to 99%.

Maybe the Lyrics will be like that (my version after comparing some different live recordings)

I stole a key,

I took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me,

To set me free,

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,

I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me,

 

In my scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I'll be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete,

Be a cartoon heart,

 

And light a fire up by the spark,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart,

We'll run wild,

We'll be glowing in the dark,

 

Glowing in the dark...

 

All the boys, all the girls,

All that matters in the world,

All the boys, all the girls,

All the madness that occured,

All the highs, all the lows

As the rumors spinning goes,

We'll run riot,

We'll be glowing in the dark,

 

So we saw,

An innocent wired,

We'll be glowing in the dark.

 

 

maybe we should ask the oracle... :rolleyes:

that confusing!

I prefer the name Charlie Brown.

 

 

I prefer Cartoon Hearts and (Charlie Brown) between parenthesis.

Both names are representative of the song, right?

Here's my version of the lyrics:

 

I stole the key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

 

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

I'll be a bright red rose come bursting/busting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

Light a fire, light a spark, light a fire, frame it in my heart

We'll run wild, we'll be glow-in-the-dark

 

All of the boys, all of the girls

All of the mess in the world

All of the boys, all of the girls

All of the mess that occurs

All of the highs, all of the lows

As the room was spinning we'll glow

 

We run wild, start glowing in the dark

So we saw...

And I hear either "Gone missing for a while" or "So innocent and wild"

We'll be glowing in the dark.

 

But that doesn't make sense. :thinking:

I think you guys have most of the lyrics down! But i still think it's

 

"As the room is spinning GOLD" (Golden arrow anybody?)

 

and "So it's all an innocent riot, we'll be glowing in the dark"

:thinking:

I stole a key

And took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

 

In my scarecrow dreams

Well, they smashed my heart to smithereens

I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

 

And light a fire by a spark

Light a fire, a flame in my heart

They'll run wild

And be glowing in the dark

 

All of the boys, all of the girls

All that matters in the world

All of the boys, all of the girst

All the madness that occurs

All of the highs, all of the lows

And the room is spinning, ohhhh

We'll run riot

And glowing in the dark

 

So we saw......

An innocent riot

Start glowing in the dark

I think you guys have most of the lyrics down! But i still think it's

 

"As the room is spinning GOLD" (Golden arrow anybody?)

 

and "So it's all an innocent riot, we'll be glowing in the dark"

:thinking:

If you listen to the Sky 1 advert, it sounds alot like "goes," not "gold" (although there's a sword sound effect right over that last part which kinda distorts it).

 

But I'm almost positive you're right about it being "so it's all an innocent riot." The "L" sound in "all" was very prominent in earlier live recordings of the song.

I stole the key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me

 

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me

 

*Epic Guitar Chorus*

 

My scarecrow dreams

When they smashed my heart into smithereens

I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete

 

Be the cartoon heart

Light a fire, light a spark

Light a fire, a flame in my heart

 

We'll run wild oh

We'll be glowing in the dark

 

*Epic Guitar Chorus*

Glowing in the dark

All the boys, all the girls

All the madness in the world

An innocent riot

We'll be glowing in the dark

I always heard "Light a fire from a spark"

At least in the Glatonbury version, which is the one I almost always listen too, the last part seems like one sentence broken into 3 parts

 

So we saw an innocent riot start glowing in the dark

 

So we saaaaaaaaawwwww....

An innocent riot

Start glowing in the dark

I only hear the Glatonbury version. It's more exciting : D

 

 

I prefer Cartoon Hearts and (Charlie Brown) between parenthesis.

Both names are representative of the song, right?

 

I agree, the two names are representative, but I prefer ...

Charlie Brown official, and Cartoon Heart parentheses.

Charlie Brown (Cartoon Heart) LoL

maybe I'm wrong, but that is what it seems to me lol

"So we saaaaaaaaaaw

I can just see this becoming one of those epic sing-along lines at live concerts, then leading right into the piano outro!

Take another listen looking at these.

 

 

I stole a key

And took a car downtown where the lost boys

meet

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

I saw the lights go down and standing in front of

me

 

My scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart to smithereens

I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

 

A lot of fire, from the smoke

A lot of fire framing my heart

We'll run wild

We'll be glowing in the dark

Glowing in the dark

 

All the boys, all the girls

All that matters in the world

All the boys, all the girls

All the madness that occurs

All the highs, all the lows

As the room is spinning gold

 

We'll run wild

Start glowing in the dark

 

So it's all.....

All an innocent riot

We'll be glowing in the dark

[With the exception of the first line, Chris often leaves out the "I's which I have left]

I stole a key,

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me,

To set me free,

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,

I saw the lights go down,

They're standing in front of me.

 

[the following verse has inverted sentence structure]

In my scarecrow dreams,

When they smashed my heart into smithreens,

I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete.

Be a cartoon heart..

 

Light a fire, up by the spark,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart,

We'll run wild,

We'll be glowing in the dark...

 

[sometimes he repeats the glowing in the dark line here]

 

All the boys, all the girls,

All the mess in the world,

All the boys, all the girls,

All the things that occurs,

All the highs, all the lows,

As the room is spinning, goes (?)

We'll run wild,

We'll start glowing in the dark...

 

So we saw....an innocent riot,

We'll be glowing in the dark.

I'm positive that this line is "all that matters in the world."
