Lyrics?
I've never had the patience to transcribe lyrics, they're not exactly great literature anyway... however, I am hugely grateful to Brian Dunleavy for passing on the following...
I have a Japanese copy of the Maximum Darkness LP on the Liberty label. As with most Japanese releases, it has an insert and lyric sheet. Japanese LPs usually come in beautiful packages, but the printed lyrics are often hilarious because they're obviously interpreted by someone who doesn't speak English! The Japanese Maximum Darkness LP is on the Liberty label, LLS-80396. Anyway, here are the lyrics as printed on the insert:
7171-551 Can you see the sun Can you see the sun Getting high Can you see the sun Can you see the sun Getting high You must start me now Getting soft like time It's never fallen We can count the days Lost in yester haze wind Well I felt like hell Lying where I fell Getting high Well I felt like hell Lying where I fell Getting high Coolin' winds are blowin' Little seeds are sowing Farther every day We can tease my being I'll come back again Why, why ----- Many Are Called But Few Get Up Look at this clean crack Falling cross my pace Look at all the answers Linger cross the race Many are called but few get up Many are called but few get up Such a lot of work that we all must do You can do it all when the move is through Many are called but few get up Many are called but few get up My eyes are burning My eyes are burning My eyes are opening My eyes are opening ----- Bananas I got to eat bananas Cause they got no bones I like marahuana Cause it gets me stoned Forty feet into the ground Wait for the sun to come around Nurture with love and care Give it time and rain and care Yeah yeah You got to let it grow You got to let it grow Come and wait for it to sprout Then you get your little doubt I like to eat bananas Cause they got no bones I like marahuana Cause it gets me stoned
Brian also passed on the following - all the lyrics from a Japanese release of the Rhinos album. Take a deep breath, and read on...
Taking The Easy Way Out Again Taking your shoes away Walking on broken glass Taking up high way straight Hanging inside your carass Where can we get by dawn Washing in morning ice Drinking in hero's wine Seeing in stranger's eyes *You're the one who we can hunt Just like I began to start When you're here he'll never put you down Why I know that you're the land Who will never clear our mind Oh round and round with everyone in town Letting too fast to seat Running since with those feet Talking too fast you hear Feeling your body's squeak La, la, la, la, la, la, Taking the easy way out La, la, la, la, la, la Taking the easy way out ----- The Thunder And Lightening Kid There's my bill now I'm all on rum There's my pills gonna have some fun But there's no smoking kill that weed No man saw about me, watch me bleed *Cool winds blowing, sky is filled upon Looks like things are turn the real wheel Christ is Jesus, I need somebody here Like men crushing down the road Jesus can be out this home Freedom just a war to me Share with blind hours let me be (*repeat) Looks like somebody else Cut his hair and shaved his beard Woo Jesus woo Woo trying my heart Well I don't need trouble Let's keep it clear I see you in double Where's the kick The fuzz that I'm lying around the floor I can't stress scene what I just saw (*repeat) Looks like somebody else Kick him down to long out bar Always do that walk at hard Seems there is a mystery Like I found in the light man's kick ----- California Silks And Satins California silks in silence Russling in my ears Clutching softly at my laughter Touching every tear * Turn him slowly, turn in slowly Somebody said somebody saw you laughing California whisky rainbow Help me got to sleep Thirteen hundred silver dollars Steal but never keep (* repeat) California rose and sunrise Bending till you break All because of drunk and sleeping Sleep until you wake (* repeat) ----- Four Day Louise Why I told you before My love is falling into your hand And a woman will crawl is so big That I just can't understand That woman, ugly way, in my hands Doing each day to dream And leaving me feeling zero We do wanna heart To have a good feeling for him * That woman's that free way Will heart ends dream Four day Louise Is someone everyone knows She's so easily peace I believe that everthing's gone (* repeat) ----- Kerosene She's a good lookin' woman With a lot to loose The loving's feed of fragile heart Read what you loose The old man said She's worn, she's old The young man said She's young and she's cold She needs a piece of everyone To fill a hungry hollows The hours finer and never Don't show a crumpled soul Her angry craws of jealousy Keep tearing us apart And me I'm in the kerosene To so good buring heart She has a horror in opening door To you She has a horror in opening door To you She has a horror in opening door The silence scream A rolling stream A voice of queen Keep you up all dream Until you've gone ----- Scotch Corner * See them in the road house Drifting out of sight And talking voice of happiest days Wounded through the night ** Some dig the silence Somewhere to hide Some take the chances To single sight This man look like a turtle That life had worn to bits His eyes were full of wisdom For his mind was full of shit God gave him nothing Just let it die The pockets are empty Something inside It's good to see a human Too glad to be afraid Between the nights efficient And truck with steady rate All lips are scarlet All hair is tied My love has sorrow I know she tried Remember sons of poverty That turns the frame for friends That can't be heard by Anyone at all Come take us angles Who care them all God made us care us Two hearts of gold (*, ** repeat)
Again, thanks to Brian for sharing this with us...
