Default Brolly Beats Blyrics

I've been wanting to do this for a while, unfortunately I don't have the time tonight to beat it out comprehensively but I'm providing a medium for everyone else to have a go!

Here's the two videos we have,




I think I remember noticing a recording of it somewhere but I don't have it.

___

It's slow and gone, the carry on from the winter
It is no matter
If you remember
O baby ??????? wine, too much beside
Whiskey
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
In my sleeve

Now it is your life
And know that I wrote this
And if you tell a lie
Where no one will notice
And the view and I
When I was laughing
Why-'d you stay quiet
We were surrounded

It's slow and gone, the carry on from the winter
I asked you upstairs (o O o)
And soon we tangled in/with my hair

You were never one for chronic chattering
Your heartbeating
I flew my colours
I flew my colours
Like a sail

Now it is your life
And know that I wrote this
And if you tell a lie
Where no one will notice
And of you and I
When I was laughing
Why-'d you stay quiet
We were surrounded

I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up

_

I love doing lyrics because it just makes me analyse how emphatically beautiful Lisers voice is.

Ok, I changed somethings that I think I understood, not sure though...

Brolly Beats

? carry on from ???
It is no matter
If you remember
O baby ?
Whiskey?
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
In my sleeve

Now it is your life
I know ?
And if you tell a lie
Where no one will notice
And though you and I
When I was laughing
Why-'d you stay quiet
We were surrounded

? carry on from ?
?
I asked you upstairs (o O o)
And soon we tangled in/with my hair

You were never one chronic chattering
Your heartbeating
WhileI flew my colours
I flew my colours
Like a sail

And now it is your life
I know ?
And if you tell a lie
Where no one will notice
And though you and I
When I was laughing
Why-'d you stay quiet
We were surrounded

I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up

On the first verse:

Its slow and gone ? carry on from the winter
It is no matter
If you remember
O baby bad wine
And too much bedside Whiskey
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
In my sleeve'


Does any of that sound about right?

On the first verse:

Its slow and gone the carry on from the winter

Second verse:

On the first verse:

Its slow and gone that carry on from december

Right we've near enough got it finished.

The december/winter point is interesting; December fits into the rhyme better but as the Roisin Dubh is the only full version we have, and it clearly says winter twice we'll use that.

Well, in the recording from Leeds (here) she first sings 'winter' and than 'december' and in the first video, which includes the second vers only, she sings december as well, so I'd go for 'december' in the secomd vers...

I also agree with maria...I think the line is:

O baby bad wine
And too much bedside Whiskey

also, I think it's:

Now it is your life
I know that i wrote it
And if you tell a lie
Where no one will notice
And though you and I
When I was laughing
Why-'d you stay quiet
We were surrounded

and I'm not sure about the 'when I was laughing' part...

I think the first line starts "it's long gone..."

and in the chorus (the second time),

"And though you and I
When I was laughing"


I hear "And though you were mine
when I was ???"

Agree on long gone also.

I hear red wine, instead of bad wine... Couldn't imagine Lisa drinkin too much bad wine, wouldn't have put her down as a Buckfast kind of lady.

Also, instead of "I know that I wrote it", I hear "I know that I wrote this." it does semi-rhyme with notice...

I don't think we're gonna get to the bottom of this laughing line, it doesn't make sence but I honestly can't hear anything else.

I hear something completely different -
"and out of you and I
well I was the loudest,
and while you stay quiet
we were surrounded"

Hello!

Wonderful song,in deed! Beautiful music and lyrics (as always )
Just a little thing. I hear : "And now it is your line" (it fits better with the second verse, "i know that i wrote it")

Happy friday,
Ana

a year later... has anyone deciphered these lyrics yet? There's one line that totally throws me...

It's long gone to carry on from the winter
It is no matter, if you remember
Mold, paper, bad wine, and too much bedside whiskey (???)
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up in my sleeve

Now it is your line
I know that I wrote it
And if you tell a lie
Well, no one would notice
And to you and I
Well, I was the loudest
While you stayed quiet
We were surrounded

It's long gone to carry on from December
I asked you upstairs
Until we tangled in my hair
You were never one for chronic chattering
Your heartbeat pale
While I flew my colors
I flew my colors like a sail

Now it is your line
I know that I wrote it
And if you tell a lie
Well, no one would notice
And to you and I
Well, I was the loudest
While you stayed quiet
We were surrounded

I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up

well, i´m not an expert at all, but this is what i hear different from the studio version, on the first lines:
"It's long gone that carry on from december (by reading what you guys wrote a long ago, i think she switched the lines from the live version)
(...) Mold (i copied this one, he), paper, bad wine, and too much better whiskey". [EDIT: no better, che]

on the third verse, would be:
"It's long gone that carry on from the winter".

it sounds like a sort of a sweet resentment to me. i really like this song, especially this line:
"while (or when or whatever) i flew my colours like a sail"
