Jem, PLEASE put me out of my misery!!

[Geddy Lee]

Very excited for the big announcement. :mrgreen:

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock: What big announcement? :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

[NoMeNoYou]

Yes sorry, will do, I'm just dealing with something fairly significant at the moment, full announcement soon.

Jx

That one.

[D S]

Wasn't that to do with Andy's departure from the live drum seat?  At least, I presumed it was..  :?

[NoMeNoYou]

Oh....possibly.

Seeing as I'm in on my own tonight, I've been spending my evening watching the Making of EIMA Frost* Reports on the DVD.
In a Feb FR, Dec flashes 3 lyric sheets at the camera - Falling Down, Welcome to Nowhere and Toys... I've been a complete fanboy and freeze-framed (froze-framed?) them to see if we can answer any of the questioned words in the lyrics thus far deduced.

What I have is:

Falling Down:
- It's definitely "Four reasons", not "For reasons".
- The sheet says "Stop putting hope in the way now"; it still sounds like "getting", so I guess that changed.
- Ditto "Not getting(/waking) up till I break down"
- Ditto "Time(/Words) will justify"

Welcome to Nowhere
- It's "Dead man, firehand"
- A truly pedantic point: "You'll leave us nothing"

Toys
- Pedro done got it right
- Lyrics say "The eyes say "aye", the head say "no"" - it's definitely the mouth saying it though.

God, I'm a geek.

anybody done up something nice with the lyrics?  like a cd-insert pdf all laid out nice like?

please?

Welcome to Nowhere
- It's "Dead man, firehand"
- A truly pedantic point: "You'll leave us nothing"

Can you see the next line "I'm burning through / banished to your wonderland"?

Yep, definitely "burning through".

Now that's dedication, RacingHippo. I'd spotted the lyric sheets and considered doing that, but haven't yet had sufficient free time.  Nice work!

Toys
- Pedro done got it right
- Lyrics say "The eyes say "aye", the head say "no"" - it's definitely the mouth saying it though.

Excellent work on all that RH.
I must confess I had some help with "Toys" (eternal thanks added to the pile in Jem's Thanks Tank and also to The Radiant Dec) but that line continues to trouble me a tiny bit.

Despite what the printed words say my ears keep hearing two alternatives in the track itself :-

"The eyes say 'aye', but I say 'no'...."
....which strikes me as "clever" with three appearances of the "eye/aye/I" sound.

OR

"The eyes say 'aye', the mind say 'no'...."
....which is in keeping with the printed concept of the eyes fancying the person but the head warning against.

I know that people will soon say "who cares, it's just a good song, for pity's sake stop over analysing everything" and they would be right....up to a point....but when you are trying to get a visual to match the lyric, it does kind of matter....a bit....

Thanks, Uncle P!

"The eyes say 'aye', but I say 'no'...."
....which strikes me as "clever" with three appearances of the "eye/aye/I" sound.

Hey... Ol' Jem missed a trick there. He could have had:
"The eyes say 'aye', the nose goes 'no'"!

"The eyes say 'aye', the mind say 'no'...."
....which is in keeping with the printed concept of the eyes fancying the person but the head warning against.

Having stuck this through headphones, I'm fairly sure you're right with that.

...when you are trying to get a visual to match the lyric, it does kind of matter....a bit....  

And when you're belting it out at full volume in the car at eig^H a law-abiding 70mph, it helps to know you're belting the same thing out as Dec is.

About Saline...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it "Find chill in mine" (or "mind" or even "mime" - still not sure what I hear there (see what I did with the here and the there? Ehrm, nevermind.)) the first two times and then changes to "Fine, chilled in mine/mind/whatever" the last time?

[Mikey]

"Find chill in mine" ?

Ugh !!! Mistletoe & Wine crossed my mind......shoot me please

[Philadelphia]

"Find chill in mine" ?

Ugh !!! Mistletoe & Wine crossed my mind......shoot me please

And now it's stuck in my mind! (:-/
I think I'll go for a walk and bring some good music, in an attempt to clear my poor head. Save me, Toys!
