All My Thoughts Lyrics - help

Post by JPB »

Would be very grateful if someone could let me know what the lyrics are for the fade out for this song. Thank you!

(the version from the recent NY gig is stunning. In fact all the tracks are stunning and, my god, this should be an official release).

Never cared too much for this song... like the hypnotic quality of most of it, but the dischordant "jazzy" elements in the middle are jarring and disrupt the atmosphere. One of my issues with Ladies & Gents in general is that it leans so heavily on those dischordant textures, but without the sense of necessity when you get that on other albums.

All of My Thoughts is a great track, but the arrangement doesn't maximize it. Has this been played acoustically at a radio session or an Acoustic Mainlines show?

Have you heard the New York recording? I think the song makes more sense than the studio version. The 'noise' has more structure and works well against the vunerable lyrics.

I haven't -- was holding back because my hard drive had run out of space. But I just got a new external...

the noise versus the failty of the lyrics is, perhaps, the point of the song. The NY live version is even better somehow.

i asked this after seeing them at the festival hall! no one knew then
'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'

On my mind all the time
You'll never lose these thoughts of mine.

It's always cold in summertime
You'll always hold this heart of mine.

Sittin' here sippin' wine
You'll always hold this heart of mine.

Love you till the end of time
I'll love you till the day I die.

Take it down to my soul
Lay it back it feel so with you.

Summer sun turns me on,
Lay me back it feels so with you.

Lay it down to my soul
Take it back it feels so with you.

...inaudible (seems like repetition of the last two lines)...

Wow, that's great classic devotional Spaceman.

Good enough to make for its own song!

i had to go back to the PP reissue with the lyrics sheet to check the outro lyrics to Feel Like Goin' Home as a comparison (c.f. this thread http://ideensynthese.de/spiritualized/v ... f=1&t=9619), and here they are:

Take it down to my soul
Lay it back
Feel so good

Summer sun turns me on
Lay me back
Feel so good

no wonder the extended outro of AMT has been mistaken for the FLGH outro when played live :D
gotta admit I love 'em both, though :)
