going down slow
does anyone know the lyrics please?
'raging and weeping are left on the early road
now each in his holy hill
the glittering and hurting days are alomst done
then let us compare mythologies
i have learned my elaborate lie
of soaring crosses and poisened thorns'
now each in his holy hill
the glittering and hurting days are alomst done
then let us compare mythologies
i have learned my elaborate lie
of soaring crosses and poisened thorns'
Re: going down slow
I reckon the lyrics are (and I apologise for any errors and I am happy to be corrected):
Verse 1
Please Lord
may I be wrong
'cos women are right
they are not young
Please Lord
may I be foolish
'cos women are wise
they're not satisfied
Please Lord
may I be lonely
'cos women are not
they're reckless you know
Please Lord
may I be a liar
when men tell the truth
they're all alone
Bridge
And I haven't got a clue
and nor has anyone I know
Trying to forget
all the things that haven't happened yet
Verse 2
Please Lord
may I be wrong
'cos women are right
they are not young
Please Lord
may I be foolish
'cos women are wise
they're not satisfied
Please Lord
may I be helpless
'cos women are strong
they're dangerous you know
And please Lord
put a tiny little spring in my step
Chorus/coda
Well I've got it right now this time
I'm going, I'm going down slow
(Repeat Verse 1)

Re: going down slow
I always thought that it was "when men..." wherever you've put "women..."

Re: going down slow
Christ, yeah, I'm sorry, I think you must be right about that...now I'm really scared that I'm subconsciously misogynous.
Re: going down slow
It s a bloody good song this, Looking forward to hearing the studio version.

Re: going down slow
What do you mean? The studio version was released as a b-side to one of the singles from LICD. I think it might have been on Out Of Sight.
Re: going down slow
Really? I'd never heard it until i went to the AM gig. I assumed it was a new song. I've also assumed that 'soul on Fire' and 'Sitting on Fire' are also songs from the new album. Am I wrong on that score too?TheWarmth wrote:What do you mean? The studio version was released as a b-side to one of the singles from LICD. I think it might have been on Out Of Sight.
The only Spz single I ever bought was Let it Flow

Re: going down slow
Man, you're missing out on some seriously awesome b-sides. I could probably help you out if you want to send me your email address. I think Sitting On Fire is going to be on the new album. It's definitely not been released before. I don't think I've heard Soul On Fire yet ... it's probably new, too.
Re: going down slow
isn't it also on Complete Works Vol 2? or is that just the instrumental?
