Can anyone help me with further identification or a recording of that damn rabbits song from the du nord gigs (both nites)..
so nice.

what are rabbits in mythology, etc?

'i hope you know
my love was true
i couldnt see the rabbits hiding next to you'

just a brilliant 1/4/5 strummer that nearly makes me weep.

any info appreciated.

No much info sorry, but have to agree it is a beautiful song.

Maybe there's a Watership Down connection in there somewhere, maybe not...
Chinese Astrological Year of the Rabbit: 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, etc.

All of the above totally irrelevant no doubt.

Is it "hiding next to you" or "out of view" ?

'i didnt know it was my last scene'

I'm near positive that it's "out of view", but I havn't listened to the recordings of it yet.

"So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way"-The Snake.

Info on this reference, from the song database:

" Rabbits, what Frank's ex-wife may have been, are said to be timid, compassionate, popular, protective, pessimistic, and in need of a strong base at home. Their ideal partners are said to be pigs or goats."

pas de dutchie!

Oh, and I almost forgot the great lines:

For every soul
There is a hole
I slipped (or fell?) right through

I couldnt see the rabbits hiding out of view

Cant wait to hear this pop up on an album

long live frank and his marvelous songs!

I love rabbits.... I hope I get a tame one one soon. Wild rabbits are so cool. I would love to hear the song. I have been looking at getting one but I don't know if the dogs next door would ever stop barking at it, so maybe it's not a good idea.

It would appear this is a song from his project with Eric Drew Feldman...

Have the lyrics of this song been posted before?
I'm trying to figure them out right now, but have some difficulties. With the lyrics and the search function of this site...

This is what I hear (and sometimes not hear):

We rode along
The fields of green
I didn’t know it was my last scene
??? by, nay you do
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view

Maybe light caught in my eye
And we were thrawling(?!?) to the wild rye
I hope you know
My love was true
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view

There is a hole
For every soul
I slipped right through
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view
??? by, nay you do
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of you

Maybe light caught in my eye
And we were thrawling to the wild rye
I hope you know
My love was true
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view

I really like:
“It doesnt’ go like that, but you don’t know it”

Could some native speaker shed some light on those lyrics plaese?

And while we're at it, what about tabs for The Rabbits Song? Has anyone tried to figure them out? And cares to post them here? Please?
I would like to be able to strum along to the mp3, but am not able to solve that riddle myself.

Hm... yes, maybe.
The "ne'er goodbye" bit sounds right, but it would be a strange pronounciation of "adieu". And on purpose, too, to rhyme with view.

And what are they doing through the wild rye? Not crawling, even if that would fit somehow.

How about..."we were thrown into the wild ride"?

Thank you VERY much! That's it for sure.

Oh man, sometimes I can't figure out those lyrics by myself. I keep hearing the same nonsense, no matter how often or how hard I try.
And to make it worse, with FB lyrics, there is always the chance that you have the words right, but still doesn't get the meaning...


So, The Rabbits Song so far:

We rode along
The fields of green
I didn’t know it was my last scene
ne'er goodbye, nay adieu
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view

Maybe light caught in my eye
an' we were thrown into the wild ride
I hope you know
My love was true
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view

There is a hole
For every soul
I slipped right through
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view
ne'er goodbye, nay adieu
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of you

Maybe light caught in my eye
an' we were thrown into the wild ride
I hope you know
My love was true
I couldn’t see the rabbits hiding out of view


Right?
So, kfs, what about thee tabs of this song?
