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
Sometimes, no matter how shitty things get, you have to just do a little dance. - Frank

My take on:
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 Prais She'd 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 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 key [(or) I am akin]
See the empty stage See there's nothing there Save your ounce of despair You once wasted it Your devil may care Your poisonings (I think)
Lone child, born wild No childish things Lone child, born wild No troubled strings
I've been 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 troubled strings

Damn this, it's more fun than stats:
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 Oh, 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 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 Till this drunkard cannot think
A Curtain falls A scene revolves* It seems your blue eyes glisten
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
*thats not right, I'm not sure the 'scene' is right, it could be assumed or unseen revolt as well, I am blasting it through the headphones. Anyone else?
there's a definate 'd' noise after the a scene/unseen the sc.. noise. And the rev.. word is very short, possibly one or two sylables unless it's cut off.
This is going to bug the hell out of me.
and you're questioning the sciences and questioning religion you're looking like an idiot and you no longer care.

I'm ignoring the dark end of the street for now
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 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, get off your knees and don't tell me I ain't gonna be what I ain't, yeah Go find, go find your saint, Go find, go find your saint,
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
You've been gone but I sang my songs to the heart of a felled tree Under the charms of the saints folded arms well I hope that she can help me
I love this song, I just realised.

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 bottles command But last winter he got it together and happyness came with the warmer weather laying across all the land
He had a love and she liked to drink She got it together But you know what I think? I think she was still feeling glum
She got 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 "Give me grilled cheese" And paperback** 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 a town Daddy went to see but the wood 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 I was thinking about her best friend
Oh listen to me I'm desperate boy I think I'm gonna have to sing for joy And I think this has just got to end
I get away in my getaway 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
* whats this? I thought it was with the warmer weather but I don't think thats right either **not sure, but it sounds more right even if it doesn't make sense

Daisy THAT makes more sense, I was sure it was paperba... but for some reason the paper bag never occured to me.
Also, what do we think of this:
I've been* moving on, creeping off the stage I'll be tearing you out, tearing you down I'm growling now in the wings
I've been or I'll be?

Thanks, ladies. I incorporated to my initial post all of your fine edits

sexy very sexy
Sexy? God, no, I think it's sad. That song makes me sob. Ditto "I burn today" because today I do burn for all the times I did not learn.
Yesterday I cried each of the three times I listened to "I burn today" to get the lyrics down. Anyway...back on topic....

You gals rule!!! Thanks for compiling this.
I always seem to have problems with understanding lyrics of new songs. And after reading them wonder how I could not get those at times quite simple words.
Getting the meaning is a completly different thing, though... Especially with FB.

DaisyG,
"Give me grilled cheese and paperback French fries"
is the best explanation I've gotten so far!
Also, "king" sounds right on "Lone Child"...
Thanks.
I have damaged hearing from too many Ramones shows so I do appreciate your help and good hearing.

This is why we have the song db threads, only not for a while because I have been busy with other things but soon! soooooon!
Which reminds me, Dave/Dean, is HC getting added? It might be nice to attack those songs especially as a frankish breakdown has already been posted.

The Shrimp song lyrics aren't right, it's the Elvis version. FB's version goes like this:
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

Thank you, Denis! My bad. I included your correct lyrics in the first post here.

So I take it this means there's no lyrics booklet with the CD? |

I think Jamie's got it with the boat going down.
---------- Lone Child ---------- I'm growling now in the wings I'm growling now in the *winds*?
------------------------ Another velvet nightmare ------------------------ A curtain falls A scene ??? revolves xxxx ???
not sure here, but could he be saying "Gravol." I typed what I heard into google and found out it's an anti-nauseant product. coincidence? maybe.
---------------------- Dark End Of The Street ----------------------
When the daylight all goes around *And when the daylight hour rolls round*
--------------- Strange Goodbye --------------- 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 so strange to be saying goodbye *a shame*
I hear "a shame" only for this one line. Going out on a limb because I'd expect to hear "so strange," but I hear "a shame"
--------------------- My Life Is In Storage --------------------- Paid him in his fee, now I wait and see *I paid a man his fee, and* now I wait and see
------ Violet ------ I learned something new. The word of the day is: chakra
Main Entry: chak·ra Pronunciation: 'chä-kr&, 'shä-, 'ch&- Function: noun Etymology: Sanskrit cakra, literally, wheel -- more at WHEEL : any of several points of physical or spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy

I wasn't sure but I went with wings because of the "creeping off the stage"... you see..

*thats not right, I'm not sure the 'scene' is right, it could be assumed or unseen revolt as well, I am blasting it through the headphones. Anyone else?
there's a definate 'd' noise after the a scene/unseen the sc.. noise. And the rev.. word is very short, possibly one or two sylables unless it's cut off.
This is going to bug the hell out of me.
and you're questioning the sciences and questioning religion you're looking like an idiot and you no longer care.
I still don't know. I wish I knew. Maybe it's not english. If it's not english, I bet it's french.

In "I Burn Today", what is old prais? I think it is old Paris, pronounced in French, right?
