Solve this lyric mystery
#7

Cpt. Trips Wrote:speaking of hard to get back up vocals....what does Paul sing during the 'chorus' of Hundredth Meridian?

For my website, I had them independently verified as best I could, and was able to isolate the vocals which helped.

Here's 100th, the backing vocals take the same theme as lyrics in Fully Completely. It may be Sinclair's voice on a few of the lyrics, and there's an echo effect added after "Trust Me":

At The Hundredth Meridian

Me debunk an American myth?
And take my life in my hands?
Where the great plains begin,
at the hundredth meridian.
At the hundredth meridian,
where the great plains begin.

Driving down a corduroy road, (Crashing through the window)
weeds standing shoulder high. (Through the window)
Ferris wheel is rusting off in the distance.
At the hundredth meridian where the great plains begin.

Left alone to get gigantic;
hard, huge and haunted
A generation so much dumber than it's parents came
crashing through the window. (Through the window)
A raven strains along the line of the road,
carrying muddy old skull.
The wires whistle their approval,
off down the distance.
At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (You're gonna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gonna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin

I remember, I remember Buffalo and I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me I remember every
single fuckin' thing I know

If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me,
they bury me someplace I don't want to be,
you'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously,
away from the swollen city-breeze, garbage-bag trees,
whispers of disease and the acts of enormity
and lower me slowly, sadly and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy,

At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (You're gonna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gonna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin


And here's the Lionized that was asked for:

Cold wind blowing over your private parts
I know a lack you've got
and it makes a strong case for art.
Billboard breasts, they don't have a face,
I know that fact you've got,
no girl could ever trace.
Lionized (Lionized)

Smoking just a little too violently
I know that fact I've got
and I know it single-mindedly
Stupid, stoned cause and effect (Stupid, stoned cause and effect)
I know a lack you've got (I know a lack you've got)
and you don't even lack it yet. (And you don't even lack it yet)
Lionized (Lionized)

I can't draw, but I can trace (I can't draw, but I can trace)
I know a lack I've got, (I know a lack I've got)
an abundance of extra space (an abundance of extra space)
Cold wind blowing over your private parts (Cold wind blowing over your private parts)
I know a lack you've got is to make a strong case for art (I know a lack you've got is to make a strong case for art)

Lionized (Lionized)

Everything else is up on the website. Poets and Pigeon still unknown.
