I know I know.

All live versions of Krafty says "gotta go to bank before it gets too late" instead of "work"... so Bernard is not really steady with his autocue ;)

That's not really like you, Nic. Normally you're pretty serious.

In Jetstream instead of "I'm watching all the clouds stripped by below me" I hear Ana's saying "I'm watching all the clouds DRIFT by below me"

You say that to a guy having a bunny as his avatar?

Well, I don't see the avatars. I guess that's a disadvantage sometimes.

Yes, I agree.

I thought it was "caught" not "conned"

I really like it when, 3.49 into "I Told You So," Dawn Zee sings, "Cleveland saves the world."

Already posted this on the other thread but here it is again:

MN&D:

One time didn’t do it Two times didn’t feel quite right I didn’t know where I was goin 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 daylight Couldn’t get a cab at half past five

One drink wouldn’t do it Two drinks were far too much I didn’t know what I was doing I hit the floor in a pile of dust

It happens 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

WFTSC-

Just to point out, RK's version wasn't a correction.

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 YOU 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 doing? They say you don't care anymore You had your 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 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

Banging on an OPEN gate

Turn ROUND don't come no closer

WHO'S JOE?

I'll look 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 I do)

Waiting For The Sirens' Call

Cause you were not the WRONG one [three times]

AND I don't know where to turn when you're gone [three times]

COULD never be as close as us

WILL never shine as bright on us

[The last time the verse beginning "I've got it all" appears, "When you're gone" is NOT repeated at the end, in contrast to the first two appearances of this verse.]

I believe you're right, M.:)

Cheers, P! :)

HEY NOW WHAT YOU DOING

... but you couldn't walk THAT extra mile ...

... you've gotta lift that heavy ROAD

Cheers, M!:)

However, it pains me that I have to disagree on ROAD.

I'm pretty sure it's LOAD. "Lift that heavy LOAD" makes much more sense.

Krafty

THAT ain't the way it has to be

I've GOTTA let you know [twice]

I've GOTTA change your mind [twice]

You've GOTTA look at life the way it oughta be

Looking at the stars from underneath A tree

With that [omit "ON"] TV you just don't care

P, I will think about that LOAD! ;)

TURN

... I want you more than YOU know ...

... with cold blood we don't care ..

Here's 'Joe':

Who’s Joe?

Hey Joe what‘cha 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’cha gonna do?

I look 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 I do)

I look 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)

Hey Joe what’cha 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 look 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 I do)

I look 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)

Actually I think he's trying to sing I'll look for you but all the l's together - it comes out as 'I look'

TURN

... I want you more than YOU know ...

... with cold blood we don't care ..

Thanks, M.:)

I hope you won't conclude that I'm being particularly disagreeable, but one of those lines from Turn is a particularly hard one to make out. After giving it long consideration I've concluded it's as follows:

IT'S COLD but we don't care

In other words, I think the current lyrics are correct. The lyrics of Turn are in general very simple and pure and classical and non-colloquial. A phrase like "in cold blood" to me just would not fit. In addition, "it's cold" is what I hear.

What are your thoughts?:)

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 [omit “NEWS”] and 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

If IT AIN’T the job and IT AIN’T the place But I must stay for your pretty face It's a FAST reaction I CAN’T fix CAUGHT me with those FELINE tricks

I told you so It's a crazy world For a MIXED-UP [insert hyphen between words] guy And a NO-GOOD [insert hyphen between words] girl

And I told you so It's a crazy world For a MIXED-UP [insert hyphen between words] guy And a NO-GOOD [insert hyphen between words] girl

[omit “(Take her, take the world)”] (DOWN THE OLD WEST SIDE)

I told you so It has to be Cut loose [ omit “NEWS”] 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

[omit “(Take the world)”]

(DOWN THE OLD WEST SIDE)

Well, P, "it's cold but we don't care" is not what I hear. The line "in/with cold blood we don't care" makes much more sense to me considering where they come from.

Hey Now What You Doing:

You had the brightest future Writing songs on your computer

Turn around don't come no closer He took it from a shoulder holster

I TOLD YOU SO

... It's a BAD reaction ...
