I am compiling the lyrics of Honeycomb for our site. Won't you help correct my many mistakes and omissions below? Thanks in advance, and retroactive thanks to frog in the sand for his help on Saturday.
Selkie Bride
Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity, lucky me
In a storm so bad, the worst of the autumn
She came from the bottom of the sea
Please won't you stay a while
Give me your coat
Then we'll fall in love in my boat
You'll be my Selkie Bride
Please give me no denial
A promise I give, I'll forsake the life that I live
Now you're by my side
If you return again
I'll be the saddest man
My lips will burn your skin
If you return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity, lucky me
On that day, so sad, breezy and sunny
She melted like honey in the sea
------------
I Burn Today
I knew a girl with sad blue eyes
But at the feast I lost my psychic prize
I did forget what the tarot maid did say
I burn today, I burn today
Our house was filled with many birds
She said to me, I can understand their words
The land will shake, so run away
I burn today, I burn today
Yes today I will burn for the times I did not learn
She said, Have fun, this time has come
Pull my heartstrings and have your self a strum
No never more this song will we play
I burn today, I burn today
And as I drank in old Paris
She lay her cards just to see what she could see
Down by the water you'll find your happy days
I burn today, I burn today
Yes today I will burn for the times I did not learn
I ran so fast into the North
No snow on me and so he said thence forth
I let snow fall on frozen yesterday
I burn today, I burn today
If my head, my head is hanging down
I feel her arms and her legs are all around
And we make love beside the water way
I burn today, I burn today
Yes today I will burn for the times I did not learn
Behold the rose of Jericho
How many lives I really do not know
Though with the rain I know it will return
Today I burn, Today I burn
------------
Lone Child
I don't like you much
I am like a wolf
I'm not full of your hate
I'm full of my grace
See in my face
I am a king
See the empty stage
See there's nothing there
Save your ounce of despair
Your once wasted air
Your devil-may-care poisonings
Lone child, born wild
No childish things
Lone child, born wild
No tribal strings
I'll be moving on, creeping off the stage
I'll be tearing you out, tearing you down
I'm growling now in the wings
Lone child, born wild
No childish things
Lone child, born wild
No tribal strings
---------
Another Velvet Nightmare
Today I felt my heart slide into my belly
So I puked it up with liquor and I slept right where I lay
And I dreamed the backs of cards for the faces were not telling
No, I never have felt sicker
And I do not want to wake
Here comes another nightmare of you again
Another velvet nightmare come true again
I should have seen it coming
Oh, please don't let it end
My nightmare of you again
No I never would have come here
But I my eyes they would not focus
So I took my last three dollars
And I spent them on a drink
I had visions of you, dear, but they floated without notice
All these drunkards do is holler
'Til this drunkard cannot think
A curtain falls
A scene grivoise
It seems your blue eyes listen
Here comes another nightmare of you again
Another velvet nightmare come true again
Oh, I should have seen it coming
Oh, please don't let it end
My nightmare of you again
---------
Dark End Of The Street
At the dark end of the street
That's where we'll always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide alone
You and me
At the dark end of the street
You and me
I know ??? a ??? time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, oh, someday
You and me
At the dark end of the street
You and me
When the daylight all goes around
And by chance we are both downtown
If we should meet, oh, just walk on by
Oh, my darling, please don't you cry
Tonight we will meet
At the dark end of the street
-------------
Go Find Your Saint
Had no life, I was feeling like some kind of unfinished project
I had a friend John, he said let me turn you on to the saint of Inanimate Objects
Go find, go find your saint
Pill by pill a miracle occurred
The whole world got better
How I prayed until I said the words I knew would upset her
She said off your knees and don't tarry I ain't gonna be what I ain't
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
I packed my bags
I never did look back
But I'm glad that I met her
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
the union was gone but I sang my songs at the Hall of the Felled Tree
Under the charm of the Saint's folded arms well I hope she can help me
----------
Song Of The Shrimp
I saw three shrimps in the water
And two were old and grey
So I swam a little closer
And I heard the third one say
Goodbye mammy shrimp
And Papa shake my hand
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane
He showed his mama and his papa papa papa papa papa papa papa
The shrimp newspaper he read
And there the advertisement
To all the young shrimps said
Free ride New Orleans
To stay in Grand Hotel
Meet Creole gals
That help you out of your shell
(solo)
Goodbye mammy shrimp
And Papa shake my hand
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane
His poor mama and his poor papa papa papa papa papa papa papa
They haven't heard from him yet
Last time they've seen his smiling face
Is when he jumped into the net
Goodbye mammy shrimp
And Papa shake my hand
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me ah take me
-----------
Strange Goodbye
I used to walk in a big black cloud
You took my hand and you led me out
A nest of demons played upon my chest
You picked me up and you laid them to rest
It's a pain, to be sure, we were aiming so high
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
We saw the world from an automobile
Saw the best view over 10,000 meals
Funny how an evening turns into years
Funny how we're laughing through all of these tears.
It's a pain, to be sure, we sure gave it a try
It's a shame to be saying goodbye
Oh my darling shall we have one more dance
A prayer to the raingod to give one more chance
The water will cleanse us, we spin on the plain
And take us to the ocean to find love again
It's a pain, to be sure, we were aiming so high
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
It's a pain that endures, we sure gave it a try
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
-----------
Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day
When there's nothing left to say
And all the clouds have faded away
And my mind wanders out there across the bay
Just to be there in the mornin'
With the sun comin through the trees
Well you know there ain't no place I'd rather be
Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day
You can feel the magic in the air
And when it's over and the clover has left the mountainside
You'll be king of what you survive
La la la la etc.
Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day
You will have a wonderful time up there
Yeah, when it's over and the clover has left the mountainside
You'll be king of what you survive
La la la la etc.
-----------
Honeycomb
(these are the only lyrics on the album, and they are lowercase)
the old churchyard is where I faded
she watched me while I fell unaided
and in my time when god's army came and got me
i could not find my honeycomb
i could not find my honeycomb
i could not find my honeycomb
cherry brown lips of maple
olive creams her eyes and face were
and in that town as i walk as a deserter
i could not find my honeycomb
i could not find my honeycomb
dance for god, dance for mating
the ritual of her figure eighting
and in my mind as i fly above the churchyard
i could not find my honeycomb
i could not find my honeycomb
i could not find my honeycomb
--------------
My Life Is In Storage
I had a castle, I had no hassles
Now tears are tassles, you're sure to know it
Just when you blow it, then you can stow it
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
Come take a voyage to personal storage
And we will forage, leashes for my hounds
My tools for my grounds, speakers for my sounds
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
Here are the pictures of permanent fixtures
Now they're just pictures lying in this stack
Baking in this shack of things I can't get back
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
What life has become, stored here for a sum
I hauled it, I feel dumb, got my lock and key
Paid a man his fee, now I wait and see
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
I believe in your perfect face, I believe in your place in the sun
Can we leave now this dusty space? can we have a little fun?
I was standing at the podium and though I was a little drunk
To the darkened auditorium, I delivered my funk
You were standing at the edge of the light, trying not to be too impressed
I was trying for the sake of the night, not to be too depressed
I called you on the telephone from a hotel in Beverly Hills
And though I was scared to the bone, you were giving me thrills
I believe in your perfect face, I believe in your place in the sun
Can we leave now this dusty space? Can we have a little fun?
--------
Atom In My Heart
Is there a place that you can't go back to?
Is there a town you can't even enter
Maybe there are whole states you don't even wanna pass through.
now you're feeling down your a weekly renter
Is your mind gone?
Are you dog tired?
Do you feel like it can't get no worse?
I'm a big guy, can we try this?
I will be the whole universe
and you'll be the center
You'll burn inside me like a star
An atom in my heart
An atom in my heart
Is your mind gone?
Are you dog tired?
Do you feel like it can't get no worse?
I'm a big guy, can we try this?
I will be the whole universe
and you'll be the center
You'll burn inside me like a star
An atom in my heart
An atom in my heart
I know a place, yeah it was made for you
The earth is warm
And the sky is tender
------
Violet
Violet, Violet
Violet's the color for me
Halfway between blood and the sky
Everything I want to see
Violet, Violet
Violet's the shakra for me
In the key of B at the top of her head
Seeking divinity
On my way to another place
I stop long enough to breathe
Violet, Violet
Violet's the flower for me
The ancient Greek symbol of love
Flower of fertility
Flower of fertility
-------
Sing For Joy
Georgie Porgie used to get real high
He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
He was under the bottle's command
But one winter he got it together and
Happiness came with the warmer weather laying across all the land
He had a love she also liked to drink
She got it together
But you know what I think?
I think she was still feeling glum
She took a gun and she shot him in the head
She shot herself and so they were wed as the air conditioner hummed
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
Mamma killed a pumpkin
She thought it was a sweet
She put it on the table
But it was still meat
She forgot the sugar again
Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
He said "Gimme grilled cheese
And paperbag French fries"
See, he forgot the sugar again
We had a wander seven years out West
It wasn't exactly the wilderness
But I felt like an Israelite
Mamma is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
And the flames shot into the night
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
I know a girl who lives on the hill
I don't know if her sister will
or I was thinking about her best friend
Oh listen to me
I'm a desperate boy
I think I better have a sing for joy
And I guess this has just got to end
I'll get away in my get away car
Every now and then I'll send my regards
from a payphone down in the flats
I'm sorry for the love
I'm sorry for the pain
I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again
I'm sorry we're joining the stats
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy

The Discopedia is usually the place to look for song information you can also check the violet db thread where it says:

Violet's the Chakra for me
The word comes from the Sanskrit cakra meaning "wheel, circle", and sometimes also referring to the "wheel of life". The pronunciation of this word can be approximated in English by chuhkruh, with ch as in chart and both instances of a as in yoga (the commonly found pronunciation shockrah is incorrect).
The seven main chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra is associated with a certain color, multiple specific functions, an aspect of consciousness, a classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics.
Chakra - The Crown
Colour - Violet
Primary Function - connection to the divine
Element - Space

I just wanted to say thanks for everyones team effort on this! It's been a blast hearing all your ideas. Thanks to all the old vetrans leading the charge as well as all the people that are newer to the forum! Welcome and thanks for all your hard work. Please stay awhile and hang out!
In the next day or so I am going to listen to these lyrics word-for-word based on the Japaneese cd version posted here. That is all except for the ones listed in separate threads that say DB b/c those it appears have recieved the collective blessing that they are correct.

it's "one" in the booklet...but of course even the booklet may be wrong, or they may have printed earlier lyrics for the songs that have then changed for the final versions...it happens sometimes.
i am guessing that's what happened moro. I am hearing "last," too. |

For "Dark End of the Street" I thought I heard the lyric "living in darkness to hide our own", not "to hide alone" But then I did some searching on the internet for the Eels lyrics (didn't realize it was a cover) and it says "living in darkness to hide our wrong"...

thank you so much kathryn for your hard work putting the lyrics down.
i had an advance of honeycomb and couldn't wait to buy it and get the lyrics, which we now know are not included. i called back porch records to ask if they had them and they replied " they were not
given to us, see if they are on the internet". thanks to you they
are, I and I'm sure we all at FB.net appreciate your time spent
on this. now can you do the 5 songs not included on the commercial release, just kidding. |

Hi Guys,
i just got the CD from Amazon and there is a very little booklet in there. It has only one lyric - Honeycomb - in there. Is it ok or I have a bad CD?
Thanks for your answer! |

I hav'nt even heard Honeycomb yet(well, a couple of songs, but I hav'nt bought the album!), but here are the lyrics to Atlantis from the Japanese edition (It's a Donovan song!! Trivia: It was used on the Goodfellas soundtrack!):
Atlantis
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land,
That from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease,
In their ships with painted sails.
To them East Africa was a neighbour,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is
But a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.
Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice
And let us sing
And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
oh yeah Oh club club, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah |

It sounds like it has to be "Life I live" despite the japanese version. Wouldn't be the first time that the printed lyrics are wrong on a cd.
Good catch!

The following are the lyrics as written in the japanese booklet:
Selkie Bride
Human form she had
in Crescent City
She showed me her pity
lucky me
In a storm so bad
the worst of the autumn
She came from the bottom
of the sea
Please won't you stay awhile?
Give me your coat
Then we'll fall in love in my boat
You'll be my Selkie Bride
Please give me no denial
A promise I give
I'll forsake the life that I love
Now you're by my side
If you return again
I'll be the saddest man
My lips will burn your skin
If you return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity, lucky me
On that day so sad
breezy and sunny
She melted like honey
in the sea
------------
I Burn Today
I knew a girl with sad blue eyes
But at the feast I lost my psychic prize
I did forget what the tarot maid did say
I burn today, I burn today
Our house was filled many birds
She said to me I can understand their words
The land will shake so run away
I burn today, I burn today
Yes, today I will burn
for the times I did not learn
She said our fun it's time has come
hold my heartstrings and have yourself a strum
No nevermore this song will we play
I burn today, I burn today
And as I drank in old Paris
She lay her cards just to see what she would see
Down by the water you'll find your happy days
I burn today, I burn today
Yes today I will burn for the times I did not learn
I ran so fast into the North
No snow fell on me and so he said thenceforth
I let snow fall on frozen yesterday
I burn today, I burn today
and if my head is hanging down
I feel her arms and legs are all around
And we make love beside the waterway
I burn today, I burn today
Yes today I will burn for the times I did not learn
Behold the rose of Jericho
How many lives I really do not know
Though with the rain I know it will return
Today I burn, Today I burn
------------
Lone Child
I don't like you much
I am like a wolf
I'm not full of your hate
I'm full of my grace
See here my face
I am a king
See the empty stage
See there's nothing there
Save your ounce of despair
Your once wasted air
Your devil-may-care poisonings
Lone child, born wild
No childish things
Lone child, born wild
No tribal strings
I'll be moving on, creeping off the stage
I'll be tearing you out, tearing you down
I'm growling now in the wings
Lone child, born wild
No childish things
Lone child, born wild
No tribal strings

Another Velvet Nightmare
Today I felt my heart slide into my belly
So I puked it up with liquor and I slept right where I lay
And I dreamed the backs of cards for the faces were not telling
No, I never have felt sicker
And I do not want to wake
Here comes another nightmare of you again
Another velvet nightmare come true again
I should have seen it coming
Oh, please don't let it end
My nightmare of you again
No I never would have come here
But I my eyes they would not focus
So I took my last three dollars
And I spent them on a drink
I had visions of you, dear, but they floated without notice
All these drunkards do is holler
'Til this drunkard cannot think
A curtain falls
A scene grivoise
It seems your blue eyes listen
Here comes another nightmare of you again
Another velvet nightmare come true again
Oh, I should have seen it coming
Oh, please don't let it end
My nightmare of you again

Go Find Your Saint
Had no life, I was feeling like some kind of unfinished project
I had a friend John, he said let me turn you on to the saint of Inanimate Objects
Go find, go find your saint
Pill by pill a miracle occurred
The whole world got better
How I prayed until I said the words I knew would upset her
She said off your knees and don't tarry I ain't gonna be what I ain't
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
I packed my bags
I never did look back
But I'm glad that I met her
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
Go find, go find your saint
the union was gone but I sang my songs at the Hall of the Felled Tree
Under the charm of the Saint's folded arms well I hope she can help me

Strange Goodbye
you used to walk in a big black cloud
I took your hand and I led you out
a nest of demons played upon my chest
You picked me up and you laid them to rest
It's a pain, to be sure, we were aiming so high
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
We saw the world from an automobile
Saw the best view over 10,000 meals
Funny how an evening turns into years
Funny how we're laughing through all of these tears.
It's a pain, to be sure, we sure gave it a try
It's a shame to be saying goodbye
Oh my darling shall we have one more dance
A prayer to the raingod to give one more chance
The water will cleanse us, we spin on the plain
and take us to the ocean to find love again
It's a pain, to be sure, we were aiming so high
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
It's a pain that endures, we sure gave it a try
It's so strange to be saying goodbye

My Life Is In Storage
I had a castle, I had no hassles
Now tears are tassles, you're sure to know it
Just when you blow it, then you can stow it
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
Come take a voyage to personal storage
And we will forage, leashes for my hounds
My tools for my grounds, speakers for my sounds
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
Here are the pictures of permanent fixtures
Now they're just pictures lying in this stack
Baking in this shack of things I can't get back
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
What life has become, stored here for a sum
I hauled it, I feel dumb, got my lock and key
Paid a man his fee, now I wait and see
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
I believe in your perfect face, I believe in your place in the sun
Can we leave now this dusty space? can we have a little fun?
I was standing at the podium and though I was a little drunk
To the darkened auditorium, I delivered my funk
You were standing at the edge of the light, trying not to be too impressed
I was trying for the sake of the night, not to be too depressed
I called you on the telephone from a hotel in Beverly Hills
And though I was scared to the bone, you were giving me thrills
I believe in your perfect face, I believe in your place in the sun
Can we leave now this dusty space? can we have a little fun?

Atom In My Heart
Is there a place that you can't go back to?
Is there a town you can't even enter
Maybe there are whole states you don't even wanna pass through.
now you're feeling down your a weekly renter
Is your mind gone?
Are you dog tired?
Do you feel like it can't get no worse?
I'm a big guy, can we try this?
I will be the whole universe
and you'll be the center
You'll burn inside me like a star
An atom in my heart
An atom in my heart
Is your mind gone?
Are you dog tired?
Do you feel like it can't get no worse?
I'm a big guy, can we try this?
I will be the whole universe
and you'll be the center
You'll burn inside me like a star
An atom in my heart
An atom in my heart
I know a place, yeah it was made for you
The earth is warm
And the sky is tender
------
Violet
Violet, Violet
Violet's the color for me
Halfway between blood and the sky
Everything I want to see
Violet, Violet
Violet's the chakra for me
in the key of B at the top of her head
Seeking divinity
On my way to another place
I stop long enough to breathe
Violet, Violet
Violet's the flower for me
the ancient Greek symbol of love
Flower of fertility
Flower of fertility

Sing For Joy
Georgie Porgie used to get real high
He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
He was under the bottle's command
But one winter he got it together and
Happiness came with the warmer weather laying across all the land
He had a love she also liked to drink
She got it together
But you know what I think?
I think she was still feeling glum
She took a gun and she shot him in the head
She shot herself and so they were wed as the air conditioner hummed
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
Mamma killed a pumpkin
She thought it was a sweet
She put it on the table
But it was still meat
She forgot the sugar again
Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
He said "Gimme grilled cheese
And paperbag French fries"
See, he forgot the sugar again
We had a wander seven years out West
It wasn't exactly the wilderness
But I felt like an Israelite
Mamma is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
And the flames shot into the night
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
I know a girl who lives on the hill
I don't know if her sister will
or I was thinking about her best friend
Oh listen to me
I'm a desperate boy
I think I better have a sing for joy
And I guess this has just got to end
I'll get away in my get away car
Every now and then I'll send my regards
from a payphone down in the flats
I'm sorry for the love
I'm sorry for the pain
I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again
I'm sorry we're joining the stats
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy

hurrah for the japanese!
how much patience are we talking about? I don't have a lot...
and you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.

I hauled it, I feel dumb, got my lock and key
Paid him in his fee, now I wait and see
It matters. Again, what do others hear?
