The Full (all but 3 lines) lyrics for Damo's new song

Spamlet · 03-19-2006, 06:57 PM

Well you can hold her hand
And show her how you cry.
Explain to her your weaknesss
So she understands.
And then roll over and die!

Well you can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside.
Spend your life asking
Everyone else's permission.
And then run away and hide!

Well you can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass.
You don't even know what you're
Doing or waiting for?
But if anyone should ask...

Tell them I've been ? (cooped in, cooking)
Cold ___ner? skins
That keep it hanging out

Tell them God's just dropped by
To forgive my sins
And relieve us our doubt.

You can hold her eggs
'Cause her basket has a hole.
You can lie between her legs
And go looking for...
Tell her you're searching for your soul!

Well you can wait for ages
And watch your compost
Turn to coal
But time is contagious.
Everybody's getting old!

So you can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass
You don't even know what you're
Doing or waiting for?
But if anyone should ask...

Tell them I've been ? (cooped in, cooking)
Cold ____ner skins
That keep it hanging out

Just tell them God dropped by
To forgive all sins
And relieve us our doubt.

Spamlet! If you've transcribed the lyrics, does that mean you've got a copy of the song? The first time I knew this song existed was when my sister and I saw Damien performing it at the Palladium gig in London last June. I tried to find out more about it but just ended up down a series of dead ends. If you have a copy, I would be immensely grateful if you would consider sharing it with me...

audity · 03-19-2006, 07:33 PM

I've never heard about this song before.

Are there any rumours that it will make its way onto his new album?

maybe it's already on it

Spamlet · 03-20-2006, 12:10 AM

Niko,

Yes, It's from the recording of the Palladium gig and was sent to me in order for me to transcribe the lyrics. This is definite second album angry material in the vein of Rootless, Fool, Didn't Take Long and BD2.

I just heard it for the first time yesterday. It's very Dylanesque (in fact the guitar in it reminds me greatly of a song I wrote 10 years ago called "Dylansong" about Bob which probably means I can't play that anymore now lol).

Most of the lyrics were a cakewalk and delivered crystal clear except for the 3 lines in question which is where he suddenly gets very savage in his delivery. I've already spent about 6 straight hours with just the vocal part isolated and slowed them down/ sped them up at highest volume through headphones and am still unable to say yet for sure what two of the words are in that section! I have enormous patience and usually love the challenge but honestly nearly went crazy

from that this time. I'll keep trying but must resort now to plan b style analysis.

Usually taking a break works wonders so that you come at it with fresh ears. I realized today after I posted that I will have to use systematic logic to isolate and eliminate all possible letter combinations to build the last words I'm missing: for example I figured out that "cold _skins" can't possibly be preceded by "cooked in" even though it sounds like there's a definite "d" in the middle of the word. So I need to return to my original second choice "cooking" which fits well between the fire of the chimneys and the cold ____ skins. However, It really still sounds exactly like he's saying "cooped in" which, though it changes the idea, fits much more with the climactic frustration he's getting out in that section (reflected in the attack) so it's just a matter of figuring out the ensuing line with that one in mind.

And I will. So stay tuned!

tj · 03-20-2006, 12:48 AM

Spamlet · 03-24-2006, 09:54 PM

Ah sorry guys,

Wasn't ignoring you or being rude: this is the first time I've been able to post for almost a week.

Glad Beevers replied, though, since he was the one who let me hear it.

I'd love to hear it FLAC style to see if it's clearer since I'm still having lots of difficulty discerning those two words on the mp3 version...

Cali · 03-24-2006, 09:57 PM

carl is gonna send me a lossless copy of the show, i can send you a cd

Beevers_uk · 03-24-2006, 09:59 PM

Im sure if you ask Cali, she will send you a copy! Im sending one to Ireland (Closing_Doors), and one to America (Cali).

If you dont get a copy of it, i can always send you a copy!

Spamlet · 03-24-2006, 10:08 PM

Darling Cali,

As our Eskimo pals in the Land o' Ire say "That'd be grand!"

Thanks muchly! I'd love to have that show. It sounds like a really great setlist and was very well taped from what I can hear.

PMing you my address and thanks again...

hbhdaem · 03-24-2006, 10:10 PM

ok...not sure if i get this properly...but can i just go right ahead and ask for a copy from closing_doors senn as i live in ireland?
hehe..its just that it seems kinda cheeky!!

Beevers_uk · 03-24-2006, 10:15 PM

^ Give him a PM!

Cali · 03-24-2006, 10:28 PM

the whole idea is to share the music, that's why carl send one copy to ireland and another to america. i'll let you guys know when i get the cd

Beevers_uk · 03-24-2006, 10:43 PM

I will also send it to people in England too, if there is anyone over here!

buddy · 03-24-2006, 11:35 PM

I want! Let me know when it hits American shores.

Cali · 03-24-2006, 11:37 PM

i'll post a thread when i have the cds

Putin · 03-24-2006, 11:38 PM
