I'm posting this for those who are interested to read the lyrics in advanced. As usual, there are probably a few errors, even if I have headphones on, I don't always get Bernard right. I'll post them as I decypher them.

Who's Joe?

Hey Joe what you're doing? It seems like it's all going right There's a storm in the sky passing over And it looks like it's going to be strong You've got eyes like an old wounded soldier They cry tears to the losts in the wind

Hey Joe Hey Joe Hey Joe What's your gonna do?

I looked for you I'll get you home Wherever you go Whatever you do I've got to find you I've got to find you (Whatever you do)

I looked for you I'll take you there Wherever you go Whatever you do I've got to find you Whatever I do (Whatever you do)

Hey Joe what you're doing? They say you don't care anymore You had your heart hurt by a woman Now it doesn't work anymore She said that you had it coming That you were no good from the start

Hey Joe Hey Joe Hey Joe Time to go home

I looked for you I'll get you home Wherever you go Whatever you do I've got to find you I've got to find you (Whatever you do)

I looked for you I'll take you there Wherever you go Whatever you do I've got to find you Whatever I do (Whatever I do) Whatever I do (Whatever I do) Whatever I do (Whatever I do) Whatever I do (Whatever I do) Whatever I do (Whatever I do)

Hey Now What You Doing

Hey now what you doing Don't go down the road to ruin Look back at where you came from Count to ten before you go wrong

You have the brightest future Writing songs on your computer But you couldn't walk the extra mile And now your life is running wild

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift that heavy load You've gotta get back in control

The days you've said to me What is it that your eyes see Is it love or is it hate Banging on an opened gate

Hey now, who's that with you What's that thing I saw him give you Turn around don't come no closer You took it from my shoulder holster

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift that heavy load You've gotta get back in control

Why don't you put that gun right down Before you kill the love you found

Hey now what you doing (what you doing) Don't go down the road to ruin

Waiting For The Sirens Call

What does this ship bring to me Far across the restless sea Waiting for the sirens call I've never seen it here before

There she plies(?) the lonely trail Getting through the breaking winds Drifting slowly from the coast She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love But sometimes it's not enough To the wall and through the door With a stranger on the shore

I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all Cause you were not the one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train First to Paris then to Spain Travel with a document All across the continent

City life is flying by The wheels are turning all around Get on board we can't be late Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the worlds Filling up this universe Can never be as close as us We never shine as bright or ????????

I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all Cause you were not the wrong one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all Cause you were not the one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, hey How many words do I have to say, hey What can I do just to make you see That you're so good for a man like A man like me

Krafty

Some people get up at the break of day Gotta go to work before it gets too late Sitting in a car and driving down the road It ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage That's the kind of world that we're living in today Isn't where you wanna be And isn't what you wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day) Give me another night (just another night) I need a second chance (second chance) This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time) I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind) I'll never let you go

You've got to look at life the way it oughta be Looking at the stars from underneath the tree There's a world inside and a world out there With that on tv you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too All shrunk down in a two-foot tube But out there the world is a beautiful place With mountains, lakes and the human race And this is where I wanna be And this is what I wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day) Give me another night (just another night) I need a second chance (second chance) This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time) I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) I've got to change your mind (change your mind) I'll never let you go

Just give me one more chance (one more chance) Give me another night (just another night) With just one more day (one more day) Maybe we'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time) I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) If I could change your mind (change your mind) I'll never let you go

I Told You So

It's been ten long years since I've been home I've been waiting here with nowhere to go It's an occupation I don't like But it pays the rent and turns on the light

I told you so It has to be Cut loose news and runaway with me We'll go out every night I'll be there by your side And we'll all get high down the ...' side

If i hate the job and I hate the place But I must stay for your pretty face It's a f*** reaction I can fix Cut me with those free ___ tricks(?)

I told you so It's a crazy world For a mixed up guy And a no good girl

And I told you so It's a crazy world For a mixed up guy And a no good girl

(Take her, take the world)

I told you so It has to be Cut loose news and runaway (runaway) with me We'll go out every night I'll be there by your side And we'll all get high down the ...' side

(Take the world)

Morning Night And Day

One time didn´t do it Two times didn´t feel quite right I didn´t know where i was going I just knew that i would be alright

I woke up in a druken haze The sun shone to my window ? I said that i´d never do it again What kind of fool do you think i am?

It happens It always seems to happen Morning night and day I just want some action Give me satisfaction Send me to my ? Morning night and day

I had a good time late last night I didn´t think it would ever end I walked home in a broad day light Couldn´t get a cab at half past five

One drink wouldn´t do it Two drinks are far too much I didn´t know what i was doing I ate the floor and a pile of dust

It happens It always seems to happen Morning night and day I just want some action Give me satisfaction Send me to my ? Morning night and day

So if you think that it won´t get you Well think again friend 'cause it's not true In my case, it was not my fault Other people made that call

One time didn´t do it Two times didn´t feel quite right

It happens It always seems to happen No matter what i say Morning night and day I just want some action Need some satisfaction Before it gets too late Send me to my ? Morning night and day

Jetstream

Can you wait My plane will be arriving shortly Right there at the gate I pray that you'll waiting right there for me

This time could be what We've both be searching for Our whole lives waking up And coming back for more

J-E-T (J-E-T) You are so good for me (You are so good for me) You are my jetstream lover You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)

We're so high I watch the cloud strip by below me We should try It's been so long since I made you cry

Long-Live-Love I just can't get enough of you I need that engines pushed It's gonna take me home to you

J-E-T (J-E-T) You are so good for me (You are so good for me) You are my jetstream lover You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)

You were meant to be Home with me

J-E-T (J-E-T) You are so good for me (You are so good for me) You are my jetstream lover You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)

You are so good for me (You are so good for me) You are so good for me (Just how I wanna be baby)

But you're gone But you're gone Don't let it go DOn't let it go If you don't try If you don't try How will you know How will you know

Guilt Is A Useless Emotion

Just another day in the week Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me Maybe I'm losing my mind Searching for another place and another time

Real love can be bought It is wild and it can be cought Real love can be sold It's another color than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna hide it (I need your love) Will you to have to find it (I want your love) How can you deny it (I need your love) You just gotta try it (I want you now) Something that you gotta know (I need you now) My love for you I wanna show (I want your love) I'm telling you that I'll be lone (I need your love) You an me just can't go wrong

Standing on top of the world Thinking at the joy you bring when you do that thing to me You sure know a lot for a girl You can bring the good times back get me on the track

Real love can be bought It is wild and it can be cought Real love can be sold It's another color than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna hide it (I need your love) Will you to have to find it (I want your love) How can you deny it (I need your love) You just gotta try it (I want you now) Something that you gotta know (I need you now) My love for you I wanna show (I want your love) I'm telling you that I'll be lone (I need your love) You an me just can't go wrong

(I need your love) (I need your love) (I need your love) (I need your love)

(I need your love) I just wanna hide it (I need your love) Will you to have to find it (I want your love) How can you deny it (I need your love) You just gotta try it (I want you now) Something that you gotta know (I need you now) My love for you I wanna show (I want your love) I'm telling you that I'll be lone (I need your love) You an me just can't go wrong

You an me just can't go wrong You an me just can't go wrong You an me just can't go wrong You an me just can't go wrong

Turn

It's a hard way to come home You've got me on my knees The walls are tumbling down The falling night believes

??? through months and years I can't forget that you were here I feel your presence everywhere In the corner over there

Turn and your eyes follow me It's time for me to go Across the hills and over the sea I want you more than I know

It's a wild world out there And nobody gives a damn In cold blood we don't care And we don't want to understand

I'm sitting here alone at night My sleepless eyes are open wide What do you want me to say What we had has gone away

The sky is high the road is long Show me what I should have done What do you want me to do Take it all away from you

Turn and your eyes follow me It's time for me to go Across the hills and over the sea I want you more than I know

You have the brightest future Writing songs on your computer But you couldn't walk the extra mile And now your life is running wild

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift(?) that heavy road You've gotta get back in control

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift(?) that heavy road You've gotta get back in control

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift(?) that heavy road You've gotta get back in control

Why don't you put that gun right down It really(?) killed the love you found

Hey now what you doing (what you doing) Don't go down the road to ruin

first verse: the storm "LOOKS" like it's going to be strong the soldier is "WOUNDED"

I LOOKED for you I'll take you there Wherever you go Whatever you do I've got to find you

Thanks Brian... I'm giving it a rest now, because it's a really painful job.

Hey now what you doing Don't go down the road to ruin Look back AT WHERE you came from Count to ten before you go WRONG

You have the brightest future Writing songs on your computer But you couldn't walk the extra mile And now your life is running wild

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift that heavy LOAD You've gotta get back in control

The days you've said to me What is it that your eyes see Is it love or is it hate BANGING on an opened gate

Hey now, who's that with you What's that thing I saw him give you Turn around don't come no closer You took it from my shoulder HOLSTER (that thing you put your gun in!)

You've gotta hold your head up high You know it's not too late to try You've gotta lift that heavy LOAD You've gotta get back in control

Why don't you put that gun right down BEFORE YOU KILL the love you found

Hey now what you doing (what you doing) Don't go down the road to ruin

Waiting For The Sirens Call

What does this ship bring to me Far across the restless sea Waiting for the sirens call I've never seen it here before

There she PLY's (Plies?) the lonely trail Getting through the breaking winds Drifting slowly from the course She is lost forever more

We ALL WANT some kind of love But sometimes it's not enough To the wall and through the door With a stranger on THE shore

I WON'T desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all Cause you were not the WRONG one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train First to Paris then to Spain Drive her/(TRAVEL?) with a DOCUMENT All across the continent

City life is flying by The wheels are turning all around Get on board we can't be late Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the WORLDS?- i hear worlds but it could be words Filling up this universe Can never be as close as us We never shine as BRIGHT or ??? gets mumbled after "or"

I WON'T desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all Cause you were not the WRONG one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

I WON'T desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all Cause you were not the WRONG one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, Hey How many words do I have to say, Hey! What can I do just to make you see That you're so good for a man like A man like me

Oh well.

just a first try at this one:

Morning Night And Day

One time didn´t do it Two times didn´t feel quite right I didn´t know where i was going I just knew that i would be alright

I won´t ? in a ? haze The sun shone to my window ? I said that i´d never do it again What kind of fool do you think i am?

It happens It always seems to happen Morning night and day I just want some action Give me satisfaction Send me to my ? Morning night and day

I had a good time ? last night I didn´t think it would ever end I walked home in a broad day light Couldn´t get a cub at half past five One drink wouldn´t do it Two drinks are far too much I didn´t know what i was doing ?

It happens It always seems to happen Morning night and day I just want some action Give me satisfaction Send me to my ? Morning night and day

So if you think that it won´t get ? ? ? my case, it was not my fault all? the people made that call One time didn´t do it Two times didn´t feel quite right

It happens It always seems to happen No matter what i say Morning night and day I just want some action Need some satisfaction Before it gets too late Send me to my ? Morning night and day

8 Feb 2005, 13:20

Not bad Alejo, I did fill most of the blanks. Look up!

8 Feb 2005, 22:04

I copied Alejo's version and filled in the blanks. Sometimes Barney's accent makes it tough to pick up on a few words but I'm pretty sure about most of it except for "I hit the floor and I'm outta dust." Might be time to break out the eq...

One time didn´t do it Two times didn´t feel quite right I didn´t know where i was going I just knew that i would be alright

I woke up in a drunken haze The sun shone through my window pane I said that i would never do it again What kind of fool do you think i am?

It happens It always seems to happen Morning night and day I just want some action Give me satisfaction Send me to my fate Morning night and day

I had a good time late last night I didn´t think it would ever end I walked home in the broad day light Couldn´t get a cab at half past five One drink wouldn´t do it Two drinks are far too much I didn´t know what i was doing I hit the floor and I'm outta dust

It happens It always seems to happen Morning night and day I just want some action Give me satisfaction Send me to my fate Morning night and day

So if you think that it won´t get you Well think again friend 'cause it's not true In my case, it was not my fault Other people made that call One time didn´t do it Two times didn´t feel quite right

It happens It always seems to happen No matter what I say Morning night and day I just want some action Need some satisfaction Before it gets too late Send me to my fate Morning night and day

I've just spent some time pouring through the lyrics of the title track to see if I could help come up with some of the missing lyrics and must say this track is spectacular. I found myself getting lost in it several times an not paying too much attention to what it was I was listening for. The lyrics are top notch and seem to be well thought out and the arrangement really is classic New Order. I even learned a new term: plies - Nautical. To work against the wind by a zigzag course; tack: To traverse or sail over regularly: Trading ships plied the routes between coastal ports. Anyway here's what I heard.

Waiting For The Sirens Call

What does this ship bring to me Far across the restless sea Waiting for the sirens call I've never seen it here before

There she plies a lonely trade Cutting through the breaking waves Drifting slowly from her course She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love But sometimes it's not enough To the wall and through the door With a stranger on the shore

I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all away

I got it on Cause you were not the wrong one And I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train First to Paris then to Spain Travel with a document All across the continent

City life is flying by The wheels are turning all the while Get on board we can't be late Our destination can not wait

All the stars and all the worlds Filling up this universe Could never be as close as us Will never shine as bright or burn

I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I got it on Cause you were not the wrong one I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone

I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all the way

I got it on Cause you were not the wrong one I don't know where to turn when you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, Hey How many words do I have to say, Hey What can I do just to make you see That you're so good for a man like A man like me

8 Feb 2005, 22:55

One more and I'm goin' to bed...

The missing lyric on turn is:

THE DAYS TURN INTO months and years I can't forget that you were here I feel your presence everywhere In the corner over there

and..

TURN YOUR EYES FROM me It's time for me to go Across the hills and over the sea I want you more than YOU know

could it be "i really hurted you" pronounced pretty fast just make more sense? :confused2:

The word "hurt" is a verb so it's use here is proper. hurted isn't a word. The other forms of the word are hurts and hurting. Silly english language, eh? :D

Upon listening this morning before work, I may have missed something in WFTSC so I'll go back and correct it when I'm in later tonight. I'll say it again. Fantastic tune.

10 Feb 2005, 11:18

oh, sorry about that. i thought the past of "hurt" was "hurted", that´s why i asked. it sounded more logical before ´i nearly "gave" it all away´. :shrug:

Who's up for Dracula's Castle? ;)

14 Feb 2005, 19:21

Ok, here's a shot at Dracula's Castle - its really hard to hear the last line of the two verses, since the chorus overlaps them, especially the first verse. Anyway, here's as much as I can make out...

Minidisc 2 / Dracula's Castle

What's the matter here? Something ain't right Tell me its not true Tell me its alright

There was a time I'd run around for you Get down on my knees, I swear its true But you came in the night and took my heart To Dracula's castle, in the dark

Now I got to tell you, now you've got to know I want you to stay, but you're gonna go Don't leave me alone, don't tear me apart You're in control... heart (hard to hear end of the verse since the chorus overlaps it)

so goodbye love you were not real you came to stay but now you leave

I can't explain the way you feel we once stood high but now we kneel

You can't keep on running How far do you think you'll get? You've got the world if you want it I ain't done with you yet

I work hard just to keep you by my side Every day and almost every night In the end you took away my heart Left me alone - there in the dark???(again chorus overlaps this line)

so goodbye love you were not real you came to stay but now you leave

I can't explain the way you feel we once stood high but now we kneel

So goodbye love you were not real you came to stay but now you leave

I can't explain the way you feel we once stood high but now we kneel
