This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

There has been several threads on this subject lately, I thought I would post them here so everybody can give their shot at correcting them before we get corrupted by the live versions ;)

It will be updated each time corrections make sense.

Who’s Joe?

Hey Joe what you doing? It seems like it's all going wrong 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 be lost in the wind

Hey Joe Hey Joe Hey Joe What are you gonna do?

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

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

Hey Joe what you doing? They say you don't care anymore You had your heart broke 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 It's time to go home

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

I'll look for you And 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 had the brightest future Writing songs on your computer But you couldn't walk that 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 things you say to me What is it that your eyes see Is it love or is it hate Banging on an open gate

Hey now, who's that with you What's that thing I saw him give you Turn round 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

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 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've got it all wrong 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 cannot wait

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

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

I've got it all wrong Cause you were not the wrong one And 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 away

I've got it all wrong Cause you were not the wrong one And 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


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 That 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 gotta let you know (I've gotta 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 gotta look at life the way it oughta be Looking at the stars from underneath a tree There's a world inside and a world out there With that 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 (alright)

I told you so It has to be Cut loose 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 old west side

If it ain't the job and it ain't the place But I must stay for your pretty face It's a bad reaction I can't fix You conned me with those feline tricks

And 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 With a no-good girl

(Take her, take the world)

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

Down the old west side Down the old west side Down the old west side (Take the world, yeah)


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 through my window pane 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 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 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 hit the floor in 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 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


Dracula’s Castle

What’s the matter here Something ain’t right Tell me it’s not true Tell me it’s all right

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

Now I’ve gotta tell you That you’ve gotta know I want you to stay but you’re gonna go Don’t leave me alone you'll tear me apart You’re in control (Don't break my heart)

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’d 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 (In the dark)

So goodbye love You were not real You came to stay But now you leave I can’t explain The way it feels 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 it feels We once stood high But now we kneel


Jetstream

(It's only one more day)

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

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

(Leave your baggage behind, you won't need it tonight, enjoy your flight)

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)

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'm watching all the clouds drift 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 engine's push 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)

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 You were meant to be

(We will be dimming the lights for this evening's entertainment. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy)

Home with me

Da da da(...)

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)

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

Da da da da (...)


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 in another time

Real love can't be bought It is wild and it can't be caught Real love can't be sold It's another color than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it (I need your love) Will you help me find it (I want your love) How can you deny it (I need your love) You've 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 belong (I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

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

Real love can't be bought It is wild and it can't be caught Real love can't be sold It's another color than gold

I need your love) I just wanna buy it (I need your love) Will you help me find it (I want your love) How can you deny it (I need your love) You've 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 belong (I need your love) You and 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 buy it (I need your love) Will you help me find it (I want your love) How can you deny it (I need your love) You've 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 belong (I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

You and me just can't go wrong You and me just can't go wrong You and me just can't go wrong You and 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 They're falling like the leaves

The days turned into months and years I can't forget that you were here I feel your presence everywhere In the corner over there

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

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 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

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


Working Overtime

Who’s that over there Looks like he don’t care Almost lost his mind Too much working overtime

Gotta get out every night City gates are open wide Gotta get away from here Take that car and push that gear

He don’t need no one He’s the rising sun He won’t shed no tears Got no time to break down here

Hey

He’s going nowhere fast Just a piece of dirty trash All alone, by his self He don’t need nobody else

Walking down the street So much going on People everywhere Look at him but they don’t care

See that world out there Make it go away You can’t change his mind Too much working overtime

Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Overtime Overtime Overtime

He crossed that picket line In trouble all the time Where did it all go wrong House music all night long

All those girls out there Looking for the one Do they really care Could they just be having fun

He did all he could Tried to get it right Somewhere he went wrong Too much working overtime

Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Overtime Overtime Overtime

I did 2 changes to WFTSC...

"Travel without document" instead of "Travel with a document"

and "Cutting through the breaking winds" instead of "Getting through the breaking winds"

Make sense?

So, "without document" instead of "with a document", and I replaced "winds" by "waves"...

Both makes sense actually..

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'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 the while 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 Will never shine as bright on us

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 away

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

Can never be as close as us

Sounds like

Can never be as close as her's ?

and the next line could also be

Will never shine as bright on her

I just looked in a dictionary and "plies his trade" was given as an example of "ply."

Although it sounds like it, I'll change it.

Indeed, Barney is actually being surprisingly clever with that word by using two of its meanings simultaneously.

some other examples of "plies" taken from dictionary.com:

To traverse or sail over regularly: Trading ships plied the routes between coastal ports.

v. intr. To traverse a route or course regularly: The boat plies between the islands on a weekly schedule.

Nautical. To work against the wind by a zigzag course; tack

So "trail" would also be good there...

I'm 100% certain it's "plies a lonely trade" in keeping with the nautical reference. Plus, it comes through loud and clear on what I listen through. ;)

"I ate the floor and a pile of dust" should be: "I hit the floor in a pile of dust."

ate the floor... :spit: :laugh:
