Incredible Revelation!! Original Uncensored Crystal Lyrics!! — Forum Archive

13 Nov 2001, 06:26

The relative weakness of the lyrics to Crystal has been discussed here. The reason can now be revealed. They've been censored, just like True Faith.

"I'm a man in a rage With a girl I betrayed" was originally supposed to be

"I'm a man in a rage With a girl half my age"

You heard it here first.

Patrick,

are you making this up? I kind of like it though...but a girl half my age would land me in jail!!! Isn't Barney old enough that it would at least be legal?

13 Nov 2001, 07:08

Jeff, it just came to me as I was listening to a live version of the song (Liverpool). It just seemed very awkward when he came to "I betrayed." People keep saying he's 45, so for him it would be legal, but they probably decided even so it would be a mistake to keep those lyrics. But I'm totally that's what he originally wrote.

You're much too young...... to be a part of me!!!

:D

13 Nov 2001, 07:18

"You've got a vicious streak For someone so young"

Wella...alright, I'm taking your word for it...and Dutch Jim, what an appropriate lyric for this thread...

13 Nov 2001, 07:20

Patrick, are you already at work???

13 Nov 2001, 07:22

Well, Jeff, perhaps they could add this to the list of questions for the band.

13 Nov 2001, 07:23

Yes, Jeff.

13 Nov 2001, 07:24

Damned pedophiles!!!! :hello:

13 Nov 2001, 07:25

Damned pedophiles!!!! :hi:

13 Nov 2001, 07:39

What, the question about you being at work????

13 Nov 2001, 07:47

Yes, Jeff, that was the question I was answering.

13 Nov 2001, 07:47

Jeff, are you ever sleeping?

13 Nov 2001, 07:52

NO Sebsy...through the miracle of crystal meth and lots of coffee...I never sleep...actually...I was asleep until about 4 this morning...

I heard the original chorus was: "I'm a man in a rage, with a girl half my age Here comes love ain't it funny, when you have to pay for it with money, I'm not alone anymore she shot me in the head"...Honestly:evil:

But that doesn't rhyme, Shug.

I know, I think Barney was trying to be "Ironic" what he should have sung was "I'm not alone anymore, she shot me to the floor"

13 Nov 2001, 08:06

That's much better, Shug. I like that.

13 Nov 2001, 08:15

Cheers mate. Right I'm away to work shortly.

on more original lyrics: BLT

Every time I think of you, I feel shocked right through and I done a pooh, it's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find, if your trying to get a seat on the number 9" (to Macclesfield) :nod:

13 Nov 2001, 08:18

I think that last line needs to be shortened a bit, Shug.

13 Nov 2001, 08:22

Not if you sing it in time with the music, think of the song me old mucker! Right I'm buggering off to work, I'll catch all the mad ramblings of you nutters later :laugh:

13 Nov 2001, 08:22

AY Shug, you are a sick bastard, I thik that's why I like your postings!! By the way, doesn't everybody just love the teddy bear in the grill of that truck in 60mph??? And no Patrick, I thought you wanted the question about you queried to the Order...I thought they might not be able to answer that one!! :wink:

13 Nov 2001, 08:24

Oh sorry...that's not a truck...it's a lorry...or is it lorrie...aww to hell with it...it looks like a Chevy Suburban....

13 Nov 2001, 08:28

Patrick... a majestic piece of information, you must be commended.

Such a shame this lyric had to be sanatised, begs the question... who's listening to the rap songs?

:hat:

Jeff... our local supermarket manager is called.... wait for it (and this isn't apocryphal).... Mr. Crisp!!!!!!!

13 Nov 2001, 08:35

Yes, Huntsy, this nugget has salvaged what had been the only weakness of the song.

Sorry, Jeff, for being so confused.

I like that a lot....

13 Nov 2001, 08:39

Mr. Crisp sells Hunstman crisps...hmmm...that's ironic...I once had an English teacher named Mrs. French...

and Patrick, if I weren't so vague, maybe it would be easier to figure out just what the hell I'm trying to say...

13 Nov 2001, 08:40

oh, en here's an even better on...my maestra de espanol...was an old chinese woman!!!!!!!

13 Nov 2001, 08:55

Jeff if you can imagine what a person called 'Mr Crisp' looks like then you get some idea of how exccedingly funny it is going to the supermarket with me bird to select some golden nuggets for the breakfast table. He's a bit like a small elf but only he's a bit chunky so he's also like something from Lord of the Ringpieces. He has specs and constantly frowns. I caught him trying to look cool in front of the girly shop assistants the other day and I did but chuckle to myself.

Anyway, I'm only telling you this because we are kindred spirits... 6 years I spent stacking them shelves and pulling trolleys in from the rain from about 9 mile away in a beck some place. Do you know what... I damaged a rib doing that and it still crunches to this day.

Pastie... this fact has put a whole new spin on Crystal Tips and now I like it even more.
