I've been watching this thread and hoping someone could make out what is being sung/said in those moments of, "Jo" "Drew" many more.
Reason as to way I've dug up this thread is the hope that since the album/CD was released in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS. And maybe hearing 'TOS' under those listening conditions would reveal what is difficult otherwise.
Question-I've been told that the audio quality is the best when played using DTS VS. DD5.1???mahogany= my agony

Does anyone know which song on the album is about the book Carol by Patricia Highsmith? I heard Alison talking about it on 6 music but didn't catch the first part. I love this book so would really like to know.
Thanks!

I'm hoping/assuming that the standard CD comes with a lyric booklet...I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

Yes, we definitely need lyrics. But I'm not anxious since all their albums contained lyrics. The only thing I wanna know so hard is : where did Alison find all those inspirations ? At least for the songs we don't know anything about : Jo, Drew, Ulla, Alvar, Thea (and Stranger).Joey said:I'm hoping/assuming that the standard CD comes with a lyric booklet...

I hope there is another good fold-out poster. The Blackcherry one has been the best where she was on the bed with the Dog/wolves or whatever they are.JAMIE CARRAGHER= LEGEND

Can someone post the lyrics from their purchase?
Us box order folk get wavs but I suspect no lyrics on Monday.
So lyrics here from anybody with an actual booklet would be reaaaaallllly nice.“Beware of artists. They mix with all classes of society and are therefore most dangerous." — Queen Victoria -

I'd like that too :) Can someone be as kind? :) -
Ditto that, does the iTunes release even come with a digital booklet i wonder? What happened to that idea of simple convenience, it seems to have disappeared.

Lyrics on the vinyl sleeve are handwritten and unpunctuated. Some characters will use capitals here and there, some won't. I will transcribe them 1:1 from the sleeve.[important song lyrics are missing in some parts of the lyrics like the ending of Annabel for example and here and there things she wrote do simply not match the words she sings (most obvious at this point in Thea where partially repeated but slightly changed lyrics and some sentences are also missing from the sleeve that are present here and there in the song). Also note: it is a 1:1 transcription. Sometimes it will say "its" when it should say "it's" but that's not how it was written down.]
Joheard a shot and someone calling strained in darkness
vapor like veil hangs over the city tonight
hanging there behind the trees a blood red moon is
watching I was waiting for you with dread in my heart
where the wind Sings by the river laughing broken
hair swept out into the water ripples of black
run you better run you better run for your life
it rips through the sky a light flickers on
Jo I know you would say don't wait for me now
filigree of time demeaning sunset spoken
where the wind sings by the river ripples of black
days you gotta run you gotta run for your life
run you better run you better run for your life
annabel
when you dream you inly dream you're Annabel
all their secrets there inside you Annabel
born beneath an emerald sky sing Annabel
nothing that they did will stop you Annabel
land of the light tangled hair and porcelain
under the stars you begin
when you dream your only dream you're Annabel
sleep reminds you takes you there oh Annabel
gentle whispers endless winters Annabel
why they couldn't let you be both Annabel
land of the light of the ice
but love still lies you are the thruth
they denied red like the sea
tangled hair and porcelain
under the stars you begin
drew
pull up the blinds open the door and wide
feel the cold arrive in my bones
put on my face I'll wear your dress tonight
feel like you tonight on that day
falling lemon moon
you burn then crash in dirty snow
ode to sin I might as well melt into Sunday
remember the time we stood there by the lake
watching boats and planes great white clouds
I smelt the sweat I felt the sun again
dreams on your skin on my tongue

Ulla
Swirling horses throw you high carried on their tales the tide
sailing on the seven seas suns & seven winds were we blinded
take me where the camphor grows where the moon and freedom sigh
Caribou are crossing out mailing elk and where we found you a sunset
Sailors sail on all night all day I'm not lost I'm wandering your way
I know you're waiting carry me there
float on glass a mirror hot with the universe above
try to find a line connect with a world that make no sense I've a feeling
stream you babble in a rush busy river flow and wind
always ask the lake it knows always ask the lake you'll get all the answers
Alvar
I felt it come a blade of autumn alive
the amber shapes of sunset dance on the wall
I step outside no boat no sign of you there
in endlessness two world looking back at me now
oh I've never seen the winter lights on the lake
I want to swim your silk black skin to the floor
on lava moons a song of hooves playing loud
the day you came they took your name
they renounced took your right your life
your heart can't wait forever
Thea
across a starless sky it cuts like tiny knives
rain beating down blunt uneasy glare's
they've nothing on you or me yet
night's have alone night's here are cursed
there's wild in your eyes oh Thea
there's a light there's a feeling
it's cruel and its dark in this town
are they mad were we dreaming
tender and town won't leave you now
wanted you so bad
I feel like I'm caught with no air
wanted you gone wanted you there
tender torn sundown on Isthmus
it's all for you oh hungry moon
it's a long long night of waiting
all for you oh hungry moon
it's a long long night of waiting
I want you there I want you gone

Simone
hold me in your arms oh in the sense of you
when we're alone I'm free until the morning comes
who are we I felt your coldness come
you're insatiable me I was blind
I gave to you the world all my world is you
at the mirror you gently comb your hair
humming your favorite song
you are the younger me in his arms
I felt your coldness come
my own Simone too casually
daylight trickles in on your tremulous skin
a moonlit tear a devil designs
you're insatiable me I was blind
I gave to you the world all my world is you
a tale to tell the world it's now your's Simone
Stranger
Stranger when you look at me
eyes strong as steal light as day
born a mystery you're the in between
boy or girl
wilder than I've known before
fire rushes through every vain
with a smile that sings
you'll be killing me tenderly
every word is soft as fur
I'm drifting deep deeper in
stranger will you remember
stranger make me remember you
taken by the crowd a tide
its there then gone do or die
stranger I dream of you
stranger I will never know
Laurel
looking for light a golden light
red red hair + almond eyes
searching for love a wallet's hot
the price is right it's money for love
looking for light a golden light
with your red red hair and almond eyes
Laurel you came here looking for light
a golden light with your red red hair your almond eyes
strange how he's cold behind the smile an angry mind
don't wait for tonight lying for lies a golden lie
your red red hair your almond eyes
fear is a fog rolling in and around
Laurel whispers from inside
Laurel running out of time

clay
words sail out into the wind
their meaning taken by time
your deep seeing eyes ancient stars
we wanted only to love
how will i find you again fate or chance
a beauty in uncertainty
WE fought them on great white sand
our shadows reframed memories we want
only to live only to love breathe again
your white waves in the night
longing i'm lost In dreams of mine
blue billowing green waves of grass
The Iron Sky Turning in the looking glass
your deep seeing eyes ancient stars
you are wonderful light
my only love sleep well good night
Please feel free to correct my reading. I need glasses: the lyrics also appear in the GoldfrApp for iPhone.
