Album Lyrics

[danlucky]

Seeing as there are no lyrics in the album booklet and no lyrics on the net (apart from the singles) I thought we could create a topic where we all have a go at writing them.

I've been trying to do 'Gone' and some of the lines are really hard to determine! I'll put down what I've managed to get and hopefully someone can fill in the 'Don't know' parts (and correct any mistakes!)

Gone

Wind it up,
Oh yeah oh yeah,
Gone gone gone,
Oh yeah oh yeah,
Gone gone gone,

No joy in his life he’s bored so he drunk,
Surrounded my women and he acts like a punk,
Missing out on love so he’s gotta have drugs,
Scared inside so he acts like a fub,

Quit playing,
I’m serious,
Living in the fast lane gotta be curious,

Just one step from being a bum,
Laughing out loud,
(Don't know)

So tell me are you ready to change?
Flip the script and turn the page,
Don’t be a sucker forever get some,
Switch it up and make it happen,

Gotta prepare yourself for the end,
When the time comes your own best friend,
Catch you looking in the mirror that’s true,
Your own best friend is you,

Chains with the skateboard yeah (that’s gone)
Honeys at the after show, (that’s gone)
Vacations in the snow, (that’s gone, that’s gone)

Laughing at the funnies, (that’s gone)
Tries to make some money, (that’s gone)
Waking up together (that’s gone, that’s gone)

You could have a car, (you could have a car)
You could have a house, (house)
You could have a wife,
You could have a dog,

You could have a heart of gold,
You could have a solid soul,
But it’ll be gone,
It’ll be gone,

Ya’ll got material soon to lose,
We live to die no chance to choose,
Even the rich only rich for a minute,
Can’t quite understand how they spent it,

A meal on this and a meal on that,
Put a couple down (to the shorty cat)

Your eyes too big for your belly it’s true,
What the hell you gonna do?

Chains with the skateboard yeah (that’s gone)
Honeys at the after show, (that’s gone)
Vacations in the snow, (that’s gone, that’s gone)

Laughing at the funnies, (that’s gone)
Tries to make some money, (that’s gone)
Waking up together (that’s gone, that’s gone)

You could have a car, (a car)
You could have a house, (mansion)
You could have a wife, (a girl)
You could have a dog, (a cat)

You could have a heart of gold, (heart of solid)
You could have a solid soul, (solid s***)
But it’ll be gone, (But it’ll all be gone)
It’ll be gone,

Chains with the skateboard yeah (that’s gone)
Honeys at the after show, (that’s gone)
Vacations in the snow, (that’s gone, that’s gone)
(You ain’t getting it back)

Laughing at the funnies, (that’s gone)
Tries to make some money, (that’s gone)
Waking up together (that’s gone, that’s gone)

Crib on a mountain side (that’s gone)
Parties that last all night (that’s gone)
(Don’t know)

Your beamers and the bass, (that’s gone)
Your royalty checks (that’s gone)
(Don’t know)

You could have a car, (a beamer)
You could have a house, (mansion)
You could have a wife, (a girlfriend)
You could have a dog, (a cat)

You could have a heart of gold, (heart of solid)
You could have a solid soul, (solid s***)
But it’ll be gone, (But it’ll be gone)
It’ll be gone,
But it’ll be gone,

I've figured out a few more bits for Gone. There are still parts I don't know though...


Wind it up,
Oh yeah oh yeah,
Gone gone gone,
Oh yeah oh yeah,
Gone gone gone,

No joy in his life he’s bored so he drunk,
Surrounded my women and he acts like a punk,
Missing out on love so we gotta have drugs,
Scared inside so we act like a thug,
Quit playing, I’m serious,
Living in the fast lane gotta be curious,
Just one step from being a bum,
Laughing out loud, Decide it ain't fun
So tell me are you ready to change?
Flip the script and turn the page,
Don’t be a sucker forever get some,
Switch it off and make it happen,
Gotta prepare yourself for the end,
When the time comes your own best friend,
Catch you looking in the mirror that’s true,
Your own best friend is you,

Chains with the skateboard yeah (that’s gone)
Honeys in the after show, (that’s gone)
?? in the snow, (that’s gone, that’s gone)
Laughing at the funnies, (that’s gone)
Just to make some money, (that’s gone)
Waking up together (that’s gone, that’s gone)

You could have a car, (you could have a car)
You could have a house, (house)
You could have a wife,
You could have a dog,
You could have a heart of gold,
You could have a solid soul,
But it’ll be gone,
It’ll be gone,

Ya’ll got material soon to lose,
We live to die no chance to choose,
Even the rich only rich for a minute,
I can’t quite understand how they spent it,
A meal on this and a meal on that,
Put a couple down (to the shorty cat)
Your eyes too big for your belly it’s true,
What the hell you gonna do?

Chains with the skateboard yeah (that’s gone)
Honeys in the after show, (that’s gone)
?? in the snow, (that’s gone, that’s gone)
Laughing at the funnies, (that’s gone)
Just to make some money, (that’s gone)
Waking up together (that’s gone, that’s gone)

You could have a car, (a car)
You could have a house, (mansion)
You could have a wife, (a girl)
You could have a dog, (a cat)
You could have a heart of gold, (heart of solid)
You could have a solid soul, (solid s***)
But it’ll be gone, (But it’ll all be gone)
It’ll be gone,

Chains with the skateboard yeah (that’s gone)

You could have a car, (a beamer)
You could have a house, (mansion)
You could have a wife, (a girlfriend)
You could have a dog, (a cat)
You could have a heart of gold, (heart of solid)
You could have a solid soul, (solid s***)
But it’ll be gone, (But it’ll be gone)
It’ll be gone,
But it’ll be gone

That last chorus with th extra changes is impossible to interpret!!!

But I am pretty sure it's 'Vacations in the snow'.

[Nina]

Thanks for this lyric! ^__^

Have you got other lirics? (For example Hard Times? ;D )

[JK]

I'll have a go at working out the lyrics for a few of the other tracks.

[Nina]

Wow! thanks James!
