Hi

Can anyone make out the words of any of the songs on The Right Whale? I think there's only 4 or 5 that actually have poetry inserted.

[borgs]

now that you mention it...
terribly inaccurate at best but it'll provide some ground work for other people to make revisions on... here they are.

cooking in wartime

its almost too much
you pretty much just wanted to relate
who you are more than what you think
down with beauty they shouted from the gate
down with beauty they shouted from the car
like they could've been wearing bibs
going noone knew where or how far
whereever that is
its past the nth country and the rogue state
the public wilderness and the popular plains
and you'll sail to the clothesline
facing it and facing it
always facing it
where the heaviest seas run with the wind
and thats the way to get through
and you said the fuck word
over and over again
where people lower their voices
and douce their fires

its what cooking in wartime requires

and its almost too much
and its almost too much
okay
there are murderers among us
crawling out of the tv
and there are murmers that love ya
as a song that may have gotten too cheap
and there are mermaids among us
don't give me your heaviest seas
don't give me your heaviest seas
don't give me your heaviest seas
almost too much

edible paper

edible paper
makes it right
puts you in all the old plots
the old costumes, the old settings
to when the famous had a mysterious will
and animals were taking over
and the elephant heart
?has the ending of the will?
everything was open, opened, opening
but thats the extent of the beginning
of the road when it starts
the strangely blank before i see you the awards
bastic stand
best lie
most likekly to live forever
most likely to survive the coellacanth
a strangely blank given the size of the unknown world
like before the comet from earth
built till it had to happen
the big so what
the folding of the sugar and the toy violence
your hot is hot and its all crazy legs
hauling entertainment
flying above the charts
and girls fainting man
but those days are over
at least for today
this is the tele-trans
not news
titles change
chandeliers fall
everythings a gun in the wrong war
and noone's excused
the tourists with coolers still love the bare act
man plays dead under the massive passive swaying head
praying for soul
hopefully instead
giant claws raking the snow
it'd be pretty if it wasn't so frightening
but the tourists with coolers get up to go
we're drawn to stories
and fragments
we don't trust anyone
who doesn't trust anyone you know
we'd love you in the centre of the outbreak
but we'd prefer to be killed by people.

what's umm mean

love, it occurs
way back in the back
furtive look
gettin' the book on one another
as the eye opener
and the fireman's fireman
and the good old mayor of paris
the mayor of paris' brother
another looks
at the peak from the last
tip of the cup
the time isn't as of the essence as it once was
the i think i know what i'm doing... do you?
what do you think you're doin'
or do you?
are you doubtless of where
your sun is grey,
commanding
unspoken
till you're septemberized
great
dismally real
come stay with me
stay
and we'll wake and bake
though noone recomends it
we'll feel
a stay
in our room
like innocents abroad
we'll share the same face
till the day ends at
when the sun is no better or worse
it doesn't claim to help
it works
there's always mine colour too
and you can't hope for much
the odd startling thing
do you suffer?
or
have you ever suffered?
what's umm mean.

mind fame

prompt terminal
escape more
like satan
fuck curtains
go on
stage fright
fail words
poor warning
choke points
murmer stars
predict roads
down woods
reveal studs
cast hawks
colour pulse
picture worth
populate mirror
content era
grab gorillas
go in
rush ginger
blind texas
van ganges
out conscious
warn pouring
spring forth
trip
dedicated
propriate crawl
content era
end days
real simple
narrate prone
mind fame.

end gaze
rule simple
mind fame.

the right whale

the hoot perception equals late response
equals abrupt response

if you change your mind
no problem
if you live too long
no problem
if you're sure they've stopped wondering about you by now
no problem

go to sleep,
dream
sound dive to your forever place
noone on earth is doing this right now

d'uuuuaaah
sleep,
dream,
leave the black counter top
the blood stars and the great blonde moon
there'll be some more blowing and drifting while you sleep

awake to a virtual fraud
of a morning
a world without a care
a world dark but for some laggard stars
and a postponement of a great blonde rose
over there

water emptied of spectacular accidents
and war without a care

awake
taken
sentenced to paradise

nobody's casualty
nobody there.

Sounds accurate I guess. Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried tabbing anything from TRW out?
