Lyrics-The Animals Were Gone

borneoman · 10-23-2006, 09:27 PM

I thought I'd try and transcribe it since I was getting almost everything pretty easily!!! me thinks

Woke up and for the first time
The Animals were gone
It's left this house empty now
Not sure if I Belong
Yesterday you asked me
To write you a pleasent song
I'll do my best now
But you've been gone for so long
The window's open now
And the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas
When the adverts begin

I love your depression
And I love your double chin
I love most Everything
You bring to this offering (?)

I know that I've left you
In places of Despair
I know that I've loved you
So please thrown down your hair (?)

At Night I dream without you
And hope I don't wake up
Cos Waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time
The animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now
So before our time is gone
We can get a house
And some boxers and all along (on the long?)
We can make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar
and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn;t break it
But I'm Glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now
Yet your light is shinning through
I cover my eyes
Still All I See Is You

Yep, that line definitely made my heart skip a beat.

borneoman · 10-24-2006, 03:34 AM

Yep, TRIP indeed... Although At Night I Dream Without You sounded great!!

Hey guys,

god this album is insane, hes a god! screw all the other religions! this once fool proof! haha, and i think he definatly says something to do with LAWN, not um wateva it was you guys think (haha i forgot wat you said it was!) but like i think it is, we can get a house and some boxers etc , that line, and then its something to do with LAWN, as in a garden.

Satyagrahi · 10-24-2006, 08:07 AM

Yeah i am pretty sure it is as follows....

We can get a house
And some boxers and ON THE LAWN
We can make babies and accidental songs

Spamlet · 10-24-2006, 08:37 AM

Other than the "trip" which everyone already mentioned and inexplicably leaving out the "O"s in the chorus while changing the tense from the line "I know I love you" ; I'd say it's nearly perfect.

Your question marked spots were accurate ('throw down your hair' is a whimsical "Rapunzel" reference, dontcha know?!) except for the one where you second guessed yourself. I believe he actually says "and on the lawn"

. Yup, that Damo's one cheeky hombre.

borneoman · 10-25-2006, 11:55 PM

Thanks for the feedback!! I corrected all changes... Still amazed at the making babies on the lawn line

Woke up and for the first time
The Animals were gone
It's left this house empty now
Not sure if I Belong
Yesterday you asked me
To write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now
But you've been gone for so long
The window's open now
And the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas
When the adverts begin

I love your depression
And I love your double chin
I love most Everything
You bring to this offering

I know that I've left you
In places of Despair
I know that I love you
So please thrown down your hair

At Night I Trip without you
And hope I don't wake up
Cos Waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time
The animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now
So before our time is gone
We can get a house
And some boxers and on the Lawn
We can make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar
and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break it
But I'm Glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now
Yet your light is shinning through
I cover my eyes
Still All I See Is You
