Here's my take on It's So Easy from my site
There are parts I can't make out but whether I win or not, someone will post what I'm missing and I'll end up winning! Tongue

It's So Easy (1988-07-15)

She must be with her man
He's standing ? don't bring it back
Someone hid them ?
He'd soon be known a violent man
But then the other day
He promptly turned away
Good thing the cops will never take her right
Around

I think I'll tell my love
I've found the cure, I paid the cost
Up on the castle wall
Besides my fear of falling off
I think you're listening
I turned around and then
Making out like things were really tough
Never knowing when to say enough

Your love can see that I needed me to ?
Like a ? you can't afford to wait
You were always telling me things that we wanted to
Well, it's easy on the dark side of the moon

Now see Scott's come back
He's found some time to make the rap
It's up to take him back
For Mason's mom and her friend Jack
But even though he's free
He's always going to wait
Her mother always said his pa was trash
I never will forget the way he laughed

Your love can see that I needed me to ?
Like a ? you can't afford to wait
You were always telling me things that we wanted to
It is easy on the dark side of the moon

Every feeling is fast
Never think about the past
Never learn to make it last

Broken lives and she fell last
Me, I'm not the wheels going past
Started talking really fast

I think I'll tell my love
I've found the cure, I paid the cost
Up on the castle wall
Besides my fear of falling off
I think you're listening
I turned around and then
Making out like things were really tough
Never knowing when to say enough

Your love can see I needed to ?
Like a ? you can't afford to wait
You were always telling me things that we wanted to
Well, it's easy on the dark side of the moon

And I said "Welcome to the new ?"
"Welcome to those who can't afford to wait"
You were always telling me things that we wanted to
Well, it's easy on the dark side of the moon
Well, it's easy on the dark side of the lake
Well, it's so damn easy on the dark side of the lake

And Waltz For Juliette...

Waltz For Juliette (1988-02-03)

Juliette, your Romeo's here
I button my blue coat down the block in the rain
Juliette, please look over here
The rest of your giving says what you need

To look in your eyes, I'm a stranger, it seems
Well, I'm wondering where is the girl of my dreams
Yeah, oh, looks but you don't

Juliette, please come over here
I'm standing outside in your yard in the rain
Juliette, the answer is clear
Well Romeo's somebody see that you've changed

I learned after all your back of the lines
You nervously laugh but can't look in my eyes
Oh, looks but you don't
Juliette

I learned after all your back of the lines
You nervously laugh but can't look in my eyes
Oh, looks but you don't

Juliette, I'm fading, my dear
I gather you slowly I couldn't steal time
Day after day, I'll think of you here
You know in your heart you will love me tonight

Well, now you're an actress in some other place
And hell in New Haven is where I must stay
Oh, looks but you don't

Juliette (3x)

For It's So Easy, I hear...

To find a cure, I'll pay the cost

Welcome to the museum of solitude
Welcome those who can't afford to wait

Making time to beat the rap

It is easy on the dark side of the lane (2nd chorus) (perhaps referring to the house where the bad stuff went down)

You, love, can see I needed to silence you OR needed my silence too

It's easy on the dark side of the room (3rd chorus)

- Tthip - 08-02-2004

Lord - thank you very much.

No problem. If you're looking for others, they're on my site. Not ALL of them (yet) and some may be wrong but... :thumb:

Is there more than one version? I don't have mine right now but I'll give it a listen soon and see if what you say makes sense. Also, I thought for awhile the "silence" part was (maybe stupidly) "your love can see you needed me to f**k you"... I don't think it says that but it kinda sounds like it. Could it be so vulgar?

ok boys heres the words to the tune i took all thats hear and added it to what i knew i had already and HERE IT IS WHAT A GEM!!!!!

It's So Easy

Trust me there young man
Hes down the block around the back
Someone hit his dad
Hed soon be known a violent man
Any other day
Hed probably turn away
Afraid the cops will never take her back
For Life

Thinking all night long
To find the cure I payed the gods
I climbed the castle wall despite my fear of falling off
Thinking this and that
Ive been around and back
Making out like things werent really tough
Never knowing when to say enough

Chorus
ya welcome to that museum solitude
welcome those who cant afford to wait
ya we all remember things that we wanted to
well its easy on the north side of the lake

Now see Scotts come back
He finds some time to beat the rap
They tried to take him back
From Masons mom and her friend Jack
And even though we prayed
Hed always go away
My mothers always said his kind was trash
I never will forget the way he laughed

Chorus

Living free and love advice
Never thinking that we might
Ever learn to make it right

Broken lies and sleepless nights
Me all night wheels gone by
Start out wrong until were right

Thinking all night long
To find the cure I payed the gods
I climbed the castle wall despite my fear of falling off
Thinking this and that
Ive been around and back
Making out like things werent really tough
Never knowing when to say enough

chorus x 3
