[Ian]

I didn't want to put the Recurring lyrics up on my site until I was at least 90% sure I had them all right. I'll post them here (one song per message) as far as I've got. Any additions or corrections gratefully appreciated!

Love,

Ian

I Love You (Kember)

I stand accused
You know that’s true
I’ve been abused
But what could I do?
Ah, but what could I do?
‘Cos honey I love you
Oh honey I love you
Oh honey I love you
Oh honey I love you
But what could I do?

I got somethin’ to tell you
Oh little girl
I’ve been searchin’
I’ve been searchin’ all around the world
I got somethin’ to tell you
Pretty honey child
I’ve been searchin’, girl
Searchin’ far and wide
And now I’ve got you girl
Sittin’ by my side
Sittin’ here laughin’ and smilin’
I’m so glad I tried
‘Cos honey I love you
‘Cos honey I love you
‘Cos honey I love you
‘Cos honey I love you
Oh, what could I do?

You know bars cannot hold me
And brute force cannot control me now
I wanna show you that I love you girl
More than anything in the whole wide world
But what could I do?
‘Cos honey I love you
Oh honey I love you
Oh honey I love you
Oh honey I love you
What else could I do?

Yes my friend, my good friend
Well set me free
Yes my friend, my good friend
Well set me free again
Well set me free
Free
Oh set me free
Free
Oh set me free
Free
Oh set me free
Free, free, free
Oh set me free

I’ve been sittin’ here thinkin’
Listenin’ to my radio
Well I’ve been sittin’ here thinkin’
Listenin’ to my radio
Well I’ve been sittin’ here all week
Now I’ve gotta get up and go
Let’s go!

[Ian]

A couple of words I'm not sure on near the end...

Set Me Free/I’ve Got The Key (Kember)

Hey babe
You got somethin’
Somethin’ special
I only dreamed about
Y’know babe
You’re so special
You got somethin’
Really knocks me out
Honey child
Drive me crazy
You got somethin’
People dream about

Oh honey
Well you look so sweet
Yeah babe
Ah, you look so neat
Just the way that you walk
Just the way that you smile
Just the way that you laugh when you’re talkin’ to me
Makes my life worth while

Come on babe
You got somethin’
Somethin’ special
You really knock me out
Honey child
Come on closer
You got somethin’
Most people dream about

Oh honey
Ah, you look so sweet
Yeah babe
Ah, you look so neat
Just the way that you walk
Just the way that you talk
You got somethin’
Most people dream about

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

Just the way that you walk
Just the way that you talk
Just the way you […]
Cuts me so free [really?]
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key

Set me free
Let me help you to see
Come on just let me show you how we could be
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key

[Ian]

Set Me Free (Reprise) (Kember)

Set me free
Let me help you see
Come on, just let me show you what we could be
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key

Set me free
Let me help you see
Come on, just let me show you what we could be
Baby I got the key
Baby I got the key

Oh honey
Your eyes
It’s a day’s work
Just to look into them

“Think it’s gonna end pretty soon”

[Ian]

Why Couldn’t I See (Kember)

You took my heart and you tore it to pieces
You gave me love and then quickly retrieved it
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why, oh why?

Why can’t you see that you’re breaking a lover’s heart?
Why can’t you see that you’re just tearin’ my life apart?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why, oh why?

You let me feel that I was just what you needed
Then you turned round and said “Why don’t we leave it?”
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why, oh why?

Why can’t you see that you’re breaking a lover’s heart?
Why can’t you see that you’re just tearin’ my life apart?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why, oh why?

You let me think that I was just what you needed
Then you turned round and said “Why don’t we leave it?”
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn’t I see? Oh why?
Why couldn’t I see? Oh why, oh why?

This chord is for you

Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
You’re screwing my head with confusion all around

[Ian]

When Tomorrow Hits (Mudhoney)

Laying out on some
Heavy act
Losing your way
Getting way off track
Ain't no stopping
Time from coming
When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits

What's easy for you
Comes so hard
What you got
Never got me far
There's no stopping
The end from coming
When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits

When tomorrow hits
It'll hit you hard
When tomorrow hits
It'll hit you hard
When tomorrow hits
It'll hit you hard

[Ian]

Feel So Sad (Reprise) (Pierce)

Sweet Lord, I know
I hate this lonely life so
Lord, I know
It goes so slow
I feel so alone, sweet Lord

Sweet Lord, it’s a sin
To live this life sufferin’
Lord, I pray
I long for a change
But it still remains, sweet Lord

Sweet Lord, is this my fate?
To live my life in this state
Lord, I know
Time goes slow
I feel so alone, sweet Lord

Sweet Lord, I pray
Take this bitterness away
I feel so sad
Feel so sad
Feel so sad
I feel so sad, sweet Lord

[Ian]

Hypnotized (Pierce)

Her sweet kiss it elevates my soul
Honey I ain’t blind
It’s lit up all around my soul
Left me hypnotised
It’s sweeter than I knew, Lord
Sweetest thing that I’ve known or saw
Jesus, sweeter than the life you lived
Lord, hypnotize my soul

Well, babe turn on
Well, babe turn on

Her sweet touch it dances through my blood
Sets my heart on fire
It’s lit up all around my soul
Takes me higher and higher
It’s got everything and so much more
Never known a love like it before
Jesus, sweeter than the life you lived
Lord, hypnotize my soul

Well, babe turn on
Well, babe turn it on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Well, babe turn it on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh…

I don’t know just where I am goin’ to
But I know I’m goin’ there with you

Well, babe turn it on
Well, babe turn on
Well, babe turn on
Well, babe turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn on
Oh, girl turn it on
Oh, girl turn it on
Oh…

[Ian]

OK, this is where Jason's whispering delivery really starts to defeat me.

Sometimes (Pierce)

Sometimes I feel I’m rolling on a road of sand
Sometimes I’ve got the world and you, babe, in my hand
But most of all, I dream that I […]
All the time

Sometimes you know the days they seem so very long
Sometimes my love for everything it seems so strong
But most of all, […]
All the time

Sometimes it feels like heaven when you’re in my arms
Sometimes you know I try so hard to do you no harm
But most of all I dream
All the time

All the time…

[Ian]

Not completely sure about this, either.

Feelin’ Just Fine (Head Full Of Shit) (Pierce)

I feel blown, I got my head on my shoulder
Oh babe, put your hand into mine
Oh babe, it feels like floatin’ down a river, honey
Babe, I’m feelin’ just fine

Oh babe, I got a head full of shit
Oh babe, I got a heart full of soul
Oh babe, wrap your soft hands around me
Babe, I’m feelin’ just fine

Head full of shit
Heart full of soul
Oh babe, I got a heart full of soul
Oh babe, wrap your soft hands around me, darling
Feelin’ just fine

Got a head full of shit
Heart full of soul
Goin’ down, and I should know
Gonna feel it soon, but it’s comin’ on slow
Love is the way when it’s my turn to go

[Ian]

Billy Whizz/Blue 1 (Pierce)

Met up with Mary Anne
She introduced me to Billy Whizz
Said he had a lot to do
But I don’t recon that he got it done
Lord I fucked with Mary Anne
I think I whispered in her ear
I can see for miles and miles
I don’t even open my eyes
I don’t even open my eyes

Met up with Mary Anne
She introduced me to Billy Whizz
Said he had a lot of fun
But after a while it all turned blue
Lord I floated for a while
Frozen hand and frozen tounge
I can see for miles and miles
I don’t even open my eyes
I don’t even open my eyes

Gonna wake up in the mornin’
I cry alone
I cry alone
I’m on fire
I’m on fire
I’m on fire

[Guest]

Sometimes I feel I’m rolling on a road of sand

is it not ''...pulling on a rope of sand'' ...that's what i always thought it was.

?

[Ian]

Yep, I think you're right!

Love,

Ian

[Guest]

"But most of all, I dreamed I had it all, had it all the time..........all the time..."
I think. Nor am I 100%

[satellite]

Billy Whizz/Blue 1 (Pierce)

.....

Gonna wake up in the mornin’
I cry alone
I cry alone
I’m on fire
I’m on fire
I’m on fire

i love this part of the song. i wasn't sure if it was this or something like 'i cry lord' or 'i cry oh lord.'

[natty]

"But most of all, I dreamed I had it all, had it all the time..........all the time..."
I think. Nor am I 100%

That's what I thought, too.

[ro]

"Well I’ve been sittin’ here all week"
well i've been sittin here waitin?

thanks for posting these.

"Love is the way when it’s my turn to go"
lord please waiting when it's my turn to go?

[jadams501]

there's another verse in feelin' just fine (head full of shit) after the iterations of "love is the way when it's my time to go" (or could it be "love makes me wait when it's my time to go")... it's pretty hazy and hard to understand but this is what I can hear:

oh babe i could see it in your eyes
more grief than...?
oh babe, promise me you don't mind
sweet babe, feelin' just fine

Anybody know any more? I should say that the way it's buried in feedback and noise reminds me a lot of the "desert" coda to Cop Shoot Cop and that I like both very much.

I never really liked this song before tonight, as it lacks a conventional "hook," but it gets astonishingly intense. I tend to think Jason's work on Recurring is generally underrated... the songs have really amazing textures to compensate for what they may lack in catchiness. Great stuff and definitely an essential purchase for the spaceman fan.

Big City (Everybody I Know Can Be Found Here) (Kember)

Big city
Bright lights
Cool, cool people
Big city

Everybody I know can be found here

Oh let the good times roll

Waves of joy

Yeah, I love you too

I think the last line is actually, "Yeah I love you tender," but I'm not sure.

[norrin radd]

i thought that end line in feelin just fine was...........

...................but its coming on slow

lord please be waiting when its my time to go

[ash]

I'm pretty sure it's "love keeps me waiting when it's my time to go".

Yup, just checked the record, and I'm certain that's what the line is.

[jadams501]

Ok I went through and listened carefully and made a few extra corrections to the unclear songs and collected all the changes here. So far as I know, this is as close to an authoritative version of these lyrics as has been collected before. Ian, do you think you might post these and the rest of the undisputed Recurring lyrics to your site? I've always been frustrated that the net lacked a comprehensive resource of the Recurring lyrics, and seeing how your site is complete for the other lyrics I think this would be a great addition.


Sometimes (Pierce)

Sometimes I feel I’m pulling on a rope of sand
Sometimes I’ve got the world and you, babe, in my hand
But most of all, I dream that I had it all, had it all the time
All the time

Sometimes you know the days they seem so very long
Sometimes my love for everything it seems so strong
But most of all, I dream that I had it all, had it all the time
All the time

Sometimes it feels like heaven when you’re in my arms
Sometimes you know I try so hard to do you no harm
But most of all I dream that I had it all, had it all the time
All the time

All the time… [x8]




Feelin’ Just Fine (Head Full Of Shit) (Pierce)

I feel blown, I got my head on my shoulder
Oh babe, put your hand into mine
Oh babe, it feels like floatin’ down a river, honey
Ooh Babe, I’m feelin’ just fine

Oh babe, I got a head full of shit
Oh babe, I got a heart full of soul
Oh babe, wrap your soft hands around me
Ooh Babe, I’m feelin’ just fine

Head full of shit and a
Heart full of soul
Oh babe, I got a heart full of soul
Oh baby, wrap your soft hands around me, darling
Ooh Babe, feelin’ just fine

Got a head full of shit and a
Heart full of soul
Goin’ down, and I should know
Gonna feel it soon, but it’s comin’ on slow
Love keeps me waitin’ when it’s my time to go [x3]

oh babe i could see it in your eyes
more grief than... (skies)?
oh babe, promise me you don't mind
sweet babe, feelin' just fine

[jadams501]

Does anyone have a live recording of early Spz doing Feelin' Just Fine (Head Full of Shit)? I can't figure out the 2nd line of the last verse and I remember the only way I was able to figure out the Cheapster lyrics was to listen to a live version and compare it to the studio.

Any help would be much appreciated.
