Hey Frank, can you tell us about Dead Man's Curve, what we're for now calling "The Rabbit Song", and "The Water"? They're not on Fastman Raiderman as far as we know, and, well, they're all pretty exciting sounding! Are these the demos you were working on? Are these tracks from an upcoming album with Schwarma or that other band that starts with a P? Solo stuff for work with EDF? Covers from songs received via Seti@Home?

Anyway, thanks for stopping in, it truly is appreciated more than you'll probably ever know, and I hope that you're getting some time at home before you go abroad with your guitar and 'wandering soles' once again.

I know nothing, for reals. I just figured that all non-FMRM songs are meant for the EDF record...

I like reid, I'm thinking of getting a ferry over to Liverpool just to see him play on the 9th, and since they've got 24 hour drinking now, I won't bother with a hostel for the night...

Or he could just come to Dublin!

"I'm Not Dead I'm In Pittsburgh" is obviously inspired by the new Morrissey song "On the Streets I Ran" ; )

And when the palmist said
"One Thursday you will be dead"
I said: "No, not me, this cannot be
Dear God, take him, take them, take anyone
The stillborn
The newborn
The infirm
Take anyone
Take people from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Just spare me!"

Seven summers grown the seven ways to all my tears/On my way back home from seven years in seven days


Floop? Have you read these lyrics, babe?
Just checking.

Funny you should say that. I am struck by how Golden Shore's "Can you hear me when you’re sleeping?" is the only lyric I know of that echoes The Smiths' "Well I wonder, do you hear me when you sleep?"





I’m the only one who can say that this light is mine

I KNEW it! My copy is correct! It IS called SAD OLD WORLD...not SAD MAN'S SONG, as J Tiven told me in another thread. That has really been bothering me for some reason.

Thanks for the lyrics, Frank. They are some of your coolest. Now I can understand a part in JBARLEYCORN I couldn't quite make out with my ear. Hopefully no one would ever attempt to make out with their ear...at least not their own.

No apologies required JT...so FARE THEE WELL is aka SAD MAN'S SONG? (I love this song, btw.) Will this be printed on the track list when it hits the store do you know? Sorry for any confused confusion. Take care!

Anybody wants to make a fake/imaginary version of one of those songs, as we already got the lyrics?
I won't do it as I can't prononce any english word correctly, and Frank certainly got some vocabulary.
Just a sick idea but it could be fun.

I've wanted to do something like that for a while, though I feel it could be considered blasphemous doing that to a song by the man (be it tempting or not). I think it'd be a really fun project to have the exact same album's worth of lyrics given to/written by two different bands, and have each band write a whole album based on them. It'd be very interesting, I think. I've always considered lyrics to be of least importance when writing a song, so I think it'd be an educational experiment for myself. As far as doing it to a FMRM song, I think it'd be really difficult to do because I'd be thinking the entire time, no matter how much time I spend on it, it has absolutely no chance of being as good as Frank's song.

You know "Surfer Girl" by David Thomas and two pale boys (from the album EREWHON)?
It's really NOT the beach boy song. It's a totally diferent song with the same lyrics, but in a way it still get the spirit of the original song. Really strange.
Anyway I sometimes dream of the FM/RM songs with parts of the lyrics I read. It's fun when I wake up: oh, but it's NOT the real thing!
Like when I was a kid I watched a short ad for the movie Brazil, and for years I kept imagining the entire movie, wich was really diferent from the real one I finally watched.

And then you woke up and found that a doctor had removed part of your brain and the whole thing was all inside your head?

Mmm... Waiting for this album is becoming a psychedelic experience.
I guess I'll go nut before June 20.

Hey it's exactly the same in French except the King is an Ambassador!
But what does it has to do with anything?
