Cheers and enjoy! :smiley2:

ya i was thinking about putting it in other music.. but lisa is more important to me than just "other music" :P but admins u can move it to other music if u wish.

and thanks maria! :D

completely agree

Here is Blow the Wind Southerly

I also totally agree too. But just my p.o.v. is that we need to stop bringing Lisa's new stuff back to reference with Damien, just as the reporter from the Electric Picnic bitterly did. If we don't draw the line of differentiation between when Lisa was with Damien and where she is now, flying solo, she will continualy be labelled as Damien's sidekick and we will continualy get calls on this forum from new members asking about Lisa rejoining the band etc. And it'll just get plain annoying.

Rant over :D

/agree

New Song - Lille (Demo)
 

I tried to write down the lyrics to Lisa's amazing :icon_flow new song " Lille (Demo), but I couldn't figure out everything...
Maybe someone can help out..

Lille

I meant to see
For a day
And wanted to know
What to say
When he searched what he’d done
In the past to someone
That he loved endlessly
Now she’s gone
And so is he

I went through a war
Every morning
I lost my way
But now I’m following
What you said
In my arm
What I read
In the charm
That I love durably
Now it’s dead and gone
And I am free

Ooh….

I went to sleep
For the daytime
I shut my eyes
To the sunshine
Turned my head away from the noise
…
Childish toys
That I love arguably
….
… to see

Ooh...

We been out to play
For the evening
And wanted to hold on
To the feeling
…stretch in the sun
And the breathlessness as we run
To the beach
Endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea

Ooh…

And here's my take on 'Pistachio'

Sit down and fire away
I know it's tricky when you're feeling low
When you feel like you're flavour
Is gone the way of a pre-shelled pistachio

I know you're weighed down
You're fed up
With your heavy
You're boots, they're laced with meloncholy
And notions all your own

*Harum...*

I do like sugar tender
*** brittle and sticky when spun
And I know my demeanor can go the way
of a photo left out in the sun
And I try to keep myself
in lillies and flack[?] seeds
Oh what a folly
You're fooling just yourself

*Harum...*

Sit down and smoke away
I wouldn't knock it till you're in them shoes
Oh watch as our subtlty blows away
As a blusher gives way to a bruise
See me, we freely make a trade-off
A dry rot to take the weight off
Swap the boots for a tune

*Harum...*

all i can help with is one line ...

"Turned my head away from the noise
...
Childish toys
That I love arguably"



And Wheels i think its "Flaxseeds" ... i know that exists ... but i might be wrong :confused:

I agree, flax seeds.

Also, for lille, don't you think she might be talking about a little certain someone we know?

those songs on her myspace are freaking aweeesome!! love it!

I hope this can help a little…..

We been out to play

Wheels ??!! :smiley3: :smiley17: :smiley2:

Thank you for trying to understang the lyrics. I also tried to do this earlier this evening, but there are plenty words I can't understand. The 2 new songs are just...incredibly gorgeous.
And why does that site says something about Lisa's first album being a collection? :icon_scra But oh well,I hope that will be a good thing,maybe she'll put 20 songs or so :D A collection! :smiley2: :smiley17:

thank you for sharing!

Lille certainly sounds like it's about Damo. It's such a poignant song, regardless. I had no idea she was also a gifted songwriter. :icon_pray The album should be great.

Seriously! I was nicely surprised when I found out she wrote the lyrics for Silent Night on O :)

i can't stop listening to lisa's new songs. i just had to share that with someone.

I wrote down the lyrics to 'My Pirate Disco', but again some parts might be wrong and other I could understand...help needed ;)

My Pirate Disco (Demo)

It’s been a long time
Since fighting to stay up
Since facing the same way
List for the day

It’s been a long while
Feeling that easy
You’re rolling on your knees
A holiday

Aaaaay
Youuuuuuuu and
Meeeeeee plaaaay

We come and we go
And dealing advice
And stealing slow
And kissing the ….

I’m looking for
To sing alone
Move your new found feet
At your pirate disco

Ooooo
Youuuuuu
Meeeeeeee gooooooo

We stayed so long because because
What a sorry lie it was

We stayed so long because because
What a sorry lie it was
We …in our house
Now our home is flying south

Oooooouth
Yooooooou
Meeeeeee
Noooooooooow
Noooooooooow
Laaaaaow
Laaaaaow
Laaaaaow
Noooooooooow
Noooooooooow
Laaaaaow
Laaaaaow

Oh my god!!!!!!!! Just discovered Lille!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing song!!!!!!!! If all her album is like that, it's gonna be mindblowing!!!!

Does anyone know how old is the song??? cos Damien & co played in Lille the week before Lisa left, was one of the last gigs all together :crybaby2: :crybaby2: :crybaby2: Not sure if it might refer to that period...

Yes Indeed, I agree..
Cheers

I enjoyed Ronja Girl's transcription of the lyrics,especially this part:
Oooooouth
Yooooooou
Meeeeeee
Noooooooooow
Noooooooooow
Laaaaaow
Laaaaaow
Laaaaaow
Noooooooooow
Noooooooooow
Laaaaaow
Laaaaaow
:smiley4: :D:D very accurate :hello2:
But I think she says: Move your new found feet ..not feed :-? Might be wrong,though!
But anyway,that's easy,couse it's in english. I wonder what does Banrion Mo Chroi mean..I mean what's the idea of the song? Could someone at lease resume it?

^The title means Queen of my heart, and its a cover of a Mic Christopher/Mary Janes track. These are the original lyrics, they seem to fet at least 80-90% but my Irish is not that good to evaluate it properly:

Queen Of Hearts

Water came and saw me
Holding back
Holding back for someone
Water came and saw me
Holding on
Holding on for someone

What you see is the life I had
Now I'm left here with my past
Watching time as it passes slow
Just to see the reasons why
They must have come and passed me by
Or maybe I'm just blind
Because the...

Like we couldn't see it in text
Like we couldn't guess what was next
Like we'd taken all of our hopes and
our dreams...

And we'd put them out in the sun
Naked, as a beacon for everyone
Who couldn't achieve
And so come on my son it's like this
It's like faint little miss
Just like a sudden change in winter
Caused the breaking of a heart
And now the Queen of hearts
And all my wondrous thoughts
They're no longer with me
And I'm sick because the...

Holding on for
The Queen of Hearts

You're right...I meant the write feet and not feed (that does male any sence...)
And yes, I thought why not post exactly what I hear... Nooooooooow Laaaaaaow... ;)
