It Didn't Take Long
Hi
Just discovered this song very recently after someone mentioned amd looooooove it!! I've done and search to try and find some info, but nothing, nada!! Can anyone give some input on the song?? How old is it, is it from the O era or is it a newie newie? It's really an angry song (eg, opening line "it didn't take you long, did it babe, to learn to sing my song and get yourself laid") so it would fit rather well in album 2, nee?? I was also wondering if he's played it on the recent tour?? Finally, have the lyrics been posted?? I can figure out some parts but not much... Thanks in advance |

It didnt take you long
Well it didn't take you long, did it babe? To learn to sing my song, and get yourself laid, No it didn't take you long, did it babe? Only when I was gone, you are the last of the slaves And it didn't take me long, to realise All of your songs were just lies, lies lies And it didn't take me long, did it babe? When you find a new boy whose face you could change Ok, I'm sorry, I'm just a little angry at you Cause I do it like a quarry, When you were angry with me Maybe its not right yeah, But hell I'm angry with you It's not another lie but you just not see what you do It's what you hated in me, And I was never free enough to Yeah but didn't take you long, did it babe? More or less to the rave Yeah but didn't take you long, did it babe? The moment I was gone, the masters parade And it didn't take you long, to tell your friends How I had done you wrong and just left you in the air Yeah but didn't take you long, did it babe? To find a new boy whose dick you could crave Ok, I'm sorry, I'm just a little angry at you Cause I dug like a quarry, When you were angry with me Maybe it's not right yeah, But hell I'm angry with you It's not another lie but you just not see what you do It's what you hated in me, And I was never free enough to |

Thanks for those lyrics!!!
So regarding time, is the song closer to Accidental Babies/Rain in the Grain/Coconut Skins??? or to BD2, Grey room?? I'm not sure if he played it on the last tour, if he did so, it could be an indication if the song is gonna be on album 2 |

Welcome back, G2!
Cille must be on temporary crack. I think it's one of the most brilliant, raw and painful things Damo's ever done. Borneo, acually those lyrics had a lot of mistakes in them. (Corrections in bold) Didn't take Long (a.k.a. "The Munich Song" because that's the only place it was ever played, thus far)Well, it didn't take you long. Did it, babe, To learn to sing my song and get yourself laid? No, and it didn't take you long. Did it, babe? The moment I was gone you're the master of the slaves. And it didn't take me long to realize All of your songs were just lies, lies, lies. And it didn't take me long. Did it, babe? I want you to find a new boy whose face you could shave. Ok, I'm sorry. I'm just a little angry at you. 'Cause it dug like a quarry When you were angry with me. And maybe its not right? Yeah, but hell with it I'm angry with you! Is there not enough light? Or do you just not see: What you do Is what you hated in me? Though I was never free enough to. Yeah, but it didn't take you long. Did it, babe? I'm all alone in the last step of the race. Yeah, but it didn't take you long. Did it, babe? The moment I was gone you're in the masters parade. And it didn't take you long to tell your friends How I had done you wrong and just left you in the end. Yeah, but it didn't take you long. Did it, babe, To find a new boy whose dick you could crave? Ok, I'm sorry. I'm just a little angry with you. 'Cause it dug like a quarry When you were angry with me. And maybe it's not right? Yeah, but hell with it I'm angry with you! Is there not enough light? Or do you just not see: What you do Is what you hated in me? Though I was never free enough to. Spoken: "It was about 5 years ago. It's amazing how you hold on."

I'm not saying it isn't crafted, it just really needs a lot of work. I find a couple of his new songs are like that, and it is too bad - I hope, if they appear on the forthcoming album, that he'll have given them the twist that really makes them worth listening to.
