The Fountain - Lyrics

[Crystal Days]

Will there be thunder,
Will lightning strike,
Will I kneel and wonder,.....???
In a tunnel of light.

"I love that trial (?) that you're in
I love that you're maturing
I love that sweet saccharin
I love your saccharin"

"Shroud" that you're in

I love that sweet sack you're in,
I love your saccharin.

Call it a night


Called in the night?

[tonywojo]

Will there be thunder,
Will lightning strike,
Will I kneel and wonder,.....???
In a tunnel of light.

"I love that trial (?) that you're in
I love that you're maturing
I love that sweet saccharin
I love your saccharin"

"Shroud" that you're in

I love that sweet sack you're in,
I love your saccharin.

Call it a night


Called in the night?

mac certainly has style.

they are written to the music good meters and all that

they dont mean shit

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

Crystal Days, cheers for that, you can make out Mac's vocals better. I think the second "Call it a night" on The Fountain remains as it is. There are still several (?)s. The remaining tracks I'll have to leave to others as I don't have the songs.

[Mr.Sparkle]

Good job by everyone deciphering the lyrics. Actually reading these lyrics just reinforces my view on Forgotten Fields, great song from start to finish and definitely the best and most interesting set of lyrics on the album. Love the music, verse, chorus and the little guitar break at around 1:20 when Ian is saying "behind you" might be the best single moment on the album, IMO.

1 Think I Need It Too

Must've forgotten something
How to forget how to be true
Covered myself in nothing
Don't touch me and i won't touch you
Tryin' to remember something
Why am I here and who are you?
You must admit something
Animals came in two by two

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
I think I need it too
I think I need it too
I think I need it too

Just as I thought I'm thinking
How can I change when I don't want to
Kept getting caught
Kept drinking
How can I blame what I got to
Putting the wheels in motion
Autopilot I can't drive
Covered in chalomine lotion
Scratching my ?? bee stung

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
I think I need it too
I think I need it too
I think I need it too

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
I think I need it too
I think I need it too
I think I need it too

2 Forgotten Fields

In the tree-lined cities in forgotten fields
Some are born too pretty, some are born too real
Such a death wish pity while the selfish steal
Some grow (some growl?, some ground?)
So just hunch back plans to start to feel
As the rise of man names his price to deal
It's look ma no hands on the steering wheel
Going round

Goes round
Goes round
Goes round
Slows down

Summer early blooms some are made to wait
Some arrive too soon, some way too late
Some think the moon can navigate
Life round

Life round
Life round
Life round
Life round

Hey can't you see?
What could be
Can't you see
Hey can't you see
What could be
Can't you see

It's behind you
It's behind you
It's behind you
Looks behind you
Look behind you
Look behind you
Look behind you
Look behind you

Hey can't you see?
What will be
Can't you see
Hey can't you see
What will be
Can't you see
Hey can't you see?
What will be
Can't you see

3 Do You Know Who I Am?

Love it, hate it
Want it, had it
Need it, got it
Down da-down da-down

Take it, took it
Shaped (shaked?) it, shooked it
Flaked it, flucked it
Down da-down da-down da-down da-down da-down da-down

Do You Know Who I Am?
Do You Know What I Got?
Did You Know Who I Am?
Cos I know what you got

Read it, wrote it
Heard it, spoked it
Made it, broke it
Down da-down da-down da-down da-down da-down da-down

Do You Know Who I Am?
Do You Know What I Got?
Did You Know Who I Am?
Cos I know what you got

Love it, hate it
Want it, had it
Need it, got it
Down da-down da-down

Do You Know Who I Am?
Do You Know What I Got?
Did You Know Who I Am?
Cos I know what you got

4 Shroud of Turin

saw him
He saw me
That your in stained shroud.. (?)
He cried
And I cried
We both died
Laughing him and me
Why me?
Why ........... me (?)

I want you
You want me
We both want the things we'll never be now
We see now
It's sad how some things aren't meant to be for real
Just you and me

Never happens when you want it to
Never does what it's supposed to do
It's never good enough to see me through
See me through

I love that shroud that you're in
I love that you're maturing
I love that sweet sack you're in
I love your saccharin
I love that shroud that you're in
I love that you're from Turin
I love that sweet sack you're in
I love your saccharin

Never happens when you want it to
Never does what it's supposed to do
It's never good enough to see me through
See me through

He saw me
I saw him
We both saw beneath each other's skin deep
But then deep we both sleep
To dream of what could be for me
I say he's forgiven me

Never happens when you want it to
Never does what it's supposed to do
It's never good enough to see me through
See me through

I love that shroud that you're in
I love that you're maturing
I love that sweet sack you're in
I love your saccharin
I love that shroud that you're in
I love that you're from Turin
I love that sweet sack you're in
I love your saccharin

5 Life of 1,000 Crimes


6 The Fountain

I slept by the mountain
The rivers we crossed
I dreamt of the fountain
And the coin that we tossed
Now I'm just counting
The dreams that were lost
One coin in a fountain
Is all that it cost
Is that all it cost?

I followed the oceans
I swallowed the seas
I buried emotions
I couldn't set free
I took every potion
From A to me (?)
And that was devotion
Was that really me?
Was that really me?

What a way to waste your wishes
Changing something for somehow
What I'd pay to taste your kisses oh yeah
Here and now
Here and now
Here and now
Here and now

Wash me down
Wash me down

Will there be thunder?
Will lightning strike?
Will I kneel and wonder
In a tunnel of light
Or will I go under and give up the fight
When they call my number
Called it a night
Call it a night

I cried the fountain dry
I climbed the mountains high
Hallelujah


7 Everlasting Neverendless

Everlasting
Neverendless
Moments lost in time
Everlasting
They can send us
Will be yours and mine and mine and mine

Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down

See this through or we could watch it die
Me and you saying our last goodbyes
Goodbye baby
Goodbye baby goodbye

Hear us calling
Ever crying
Wonder when it stops

Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down

See this through or we could watch it die
Me and you saying our last goodbyes
Goodbye baby
Goodbye baby goodbye
Goodbye baby
Goodbye baby goodbye

See this through
See this through
Me and you
Me and you
Me and you
See this through
Me and you
Me and you

Scratching my heat lumps, bee stung????

[electrabunny]

Great thread voz.

Made some minor changes...I think these are right, but you can check the song again if you like.

2 Forgotten Fields

In the tree-lined cities in forgotten fields
Some are born too pretty, some are born too real
Some to death wish pity while the selfish steal
Some grow (some growl?, some ground?)
So just hunch back plans to start to feel
As the rise of man names his price to deal
It's look ma no hands on the steering wheel
Going round

Goes round
Goes round
Goes round
Slows down

Some are early blooms some are made to wait
Some arrive too soon, some way too late
Some think the moon can navigate
Life round

Life round
Life round

Hey can't you see?
What will be
Can't you see
Hey can't you see
What will be
Can't you see

It's behind you
It's behind you
It's behind you
Looks behind you
Look behind you
Look behind you
Look behind you
Look behind you

Hey can't you see?

Hey can't you see

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

Still sounds like "Such a" (death wish pity..). Sounds the same on the YouTube "Epic".

I'll go for the "Some are early blooms, some are made"

The chorus is "what will be". Adjusted accordingly.

[electrabunny]

Any thoughts on the bee stung? That was the best I could do with that line.

[Voodoo Billy]

Yes, it's "scratching my heatlumps bee-stung hives".

[Crystal Days]

Life Of 1,000 Crimes.

If I changed along the way,
Is there a price that I can pay,
Just tell me all I have to say,
And save me.

Just tell me it'll be ok,
That tomorrow won't be like today,
Don't meet me at the kneel and prey,
For maybes, just save me.

I heard it a thousand times,
I heard it a thousand times,
I heard it a thousand times,
Life of a thousand crimes.

Don't wanna know what I've become,
I want the ones I've done undone,
I need more than just the crumbs,
You gave me...

I wanna place where I can run,
I wanna race that can be won,
I wanna face in a golden sun,
To bathe me...bathe me.

I heard it a thousand times,
I heard it a thousand times,
I heard it a thousand times,
Life of a thousand crimes.

Do you wanna know,
Do you wanna know,
Do you wanna know, what I know?

And do you wanna go,
Never wanna go,
Do you wanna know...where I go.

If I changed along the way,
Is there a price that I can pay,
Just tell me all I have to say,
And save me.....save me.

I heard it a thousand times,
I heard it a thousand times,
I heard it a thousand times,
Life of a thousand crimes.

10 The Idolness of Gods

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

Voz.

Forgotten Fields
I'm sure "Some to death wish pity while the selfish steal" isn't correct. It's "Such a death wish pity while the selfish steal" (some to death wish pity doesn't make sense)

Life of 1,000 Crimes
"Don't meet me at the kneel and prey" (as in bird of prey). Surely that should be pray. It might actually be "Don't make me have to kneel and pray" which makes more sense...

Don't make me have to kneel and pray for maybes.

[fat cherry]

"Don't meet me at the kneel and prey"

maybe its one of those weird old fashioned ganes like they used to have on 'indoor league' in the 1970s with freddie trueman?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOlEYNlSZ44[/youtube]

[bluegrace]

Forgotten Fields


It's Some are early blooms

and Some to death wish pity while the selfish steal some ground

(ie to h*ll with pity)

and the life round, the life round etc


Shroud of Turin

I saw him
That you're in a stained shroud and

Why Rimini?

and I sing hymns for him and me to end that verse


Think I Need...

Covered myself in numb things

Covered in calamine (sp) lotion
Scratching my heat lumps, bee-stung


First of all some of these lyrics are great, in fact almost all of them. Like Forgotten Fields. World Class. And great thread too, lyrics are ultra important. And fun.
