Alright.. this one is very incomplete (you now know why I didn't post Slow Jam yet)..

I can't decypher's Bobbie Gillepsie's part at all.. help needed! And the rest is far from the real thing.

In fact, it's pathetic :skeptic:

I've been accused of everything From Timbuk 2 to old Berlin I need some armor for my flesh I need to stop and take a rest

I ??? what could've seen I stand accused of being me

I believe in politics I believe in everything And this wise advice is giving me adrenaline Where I hear a baby cry When I see an old man die That's just the way it is

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

Yeah that's the way it is

????????? ???? my future ??? ??? to you and me My ???????? I swear to you I ?????? ????? miles ?????? try And I try

I believe in politics I believe in everything And this wise advice is just the dead of my sunset ????? And ??? dark is the night We could reach for the light And we could get it right

Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right

I believe in politics I believe in everything And this wise advice is giving me adrenaline Ten thousand year ago Crawling on the floor ??? jack It's time to rock the shack

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

It's time to get up

"TIMBUKTU" or "TIMBUCTOO" (not TIMBUK 2; unless we're feeling Prince-y) "I'VE BEEN WIDE-EYED BUT COULDN'T SEE" (not I ??? WHAT COULD'VE SEEN) "I BELIEVE THIS WORLD OF OURS is giving me adrenaline" (not AND THIS WISE ADVICE) "WHEN I hear a baby cry" (not WHERE) "I TOOK EACH DAY THE WAY IT CAME I PUT MY FUTURE OUT OF FRAME THE SIGNS WERE THERE FOR ALL TO SEE LIKE BLUE EYED MIND TO YOU AND ME (not sure) MY HEAD LAID ON MY BEATING BREAST (could be HAND rather than HEAD) I SWEAR TO YOU I PASS THE TEST I WALKED ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND YOU'RE THE JUDGE WHO'S BEEN MY TRIAL (not sure about BEEN) ??? MY TRIAL" "I BELIEVE THIS WORLD OF OURS IS JUST A DEN OF VICE AND SINS" (not AND THIS WISE ADVICE IS JUST THE DEAD OF MY SUNSET) "AND EVEN ON THE DARKEST NIGHT" (not AND ??? DARK IS THE NIGHT) "Crawling on the floor WELL GET UP JACK" (with a capital "J" IN Jack)

How about:

I swear to you I pass THIS test

and later:

And you're the judge who's DONE my trial

I'm not sure at all, but while reading the news lyrics, this is what I'm hearing... (I know "who's done" is not good, but.. who has done?)

I think you're right on both of those calls.

I think the line after "done my trial" may be "did my trial"

Hey Patrick, care to check those possible corrections?

Hi, Rock the Shack I maybe being pedantic but... It's Timbuktu

armour They're both British even though Bobby sing like he's mid-Atlantic

And you're the judge who's TURNED my trial? BEEN my trial?

I believe this world of ours is just a den of vice and SIN Just the singular Cheers Dave

According to the dictionary I checked, either Timbuctoo or Timbuktu is acceptable. "Timbuktu" looks a little better probably. About "armour," well, this site is based in North America. Does Canada follow British or U.S. spelling on things like this?

As I said before, I think you are right that it's "you're the judge who's DONE my trial."

I agree that it's "SIN" and not "SINS"; I had refrained from correcting myself on that earlier because it seemed relatively minor but it is definitely "SIN"

By the way, does everybody agree that it's "Like blue eyed mind to you and me"? That's what I hear but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

haha, I have the written "official" lyrics from London Records - Japan release, both in English and Japanese. But they are at home and I'm at work. I'll maybe post them sometime furya.
