When I Was Young

 

 

I woke up today, surrounded by blackness
The small morning sun, devoured the process
It's always been fun, when I get a bit nervous
And it's hard to say, but I feel a bit weightless
The more I admit, I feel a bit anxious
The more I go on, the less I can face this
And those rotten things that live in our shadow
We walked on the line of death and the gallows
And hope that we clear a path we can follow

It was the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

When I was young, the world it was smaller
The cities were vast, the buildings were taller
I felt really strong, my parents seemed stronger
But life has a way; It showers with greatness
Then takes it away, those pieces that made us
Then teaches ya few you'd never imagine
We all get the same; The memories, the burdens
The pictures we made, they still form a pattern
They cautiously say "Does it all matter?"

It was the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much...



2. Dogs Eating Dogs

 

 

I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling
These broken nights and bitter ends
We would always starve and devour
Our closest friends, my beautiful friends
Paranoia, my paranoia
Can't let it go, it never lets me go
What am I feeling, what am I feeling?
Forecast into the freezing cold

Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

I'm the last and the first in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees
To the factory line
I am numb to the shot
I have a crippling fear of heights
Cause the fall sounds a lot
Like a symphony of cries

Your only hope is burning down the chapel
All getting washed out with the tide
We need to find some middle ground
It's always sex or suicide

Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

I'm the last and the first in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees
To the factory line
I am numb to the shot
I have a crippling fear of heights
Cause the fall sounds a lot
Like a symphony of cries



3. Disaster

 

 

Fall comes, a loaded gun
Black ties for everyone
Can you read my mind?
[Fall in my arms again]
Grey stones that break apart
French braids, demonic art
The dead come alive
[Fall in my arms again] (Again)

I'm scared of the dark my friends
What do you fear my love?
Hold on, you're breaking up
(Disaster, disaster) x2

White stones of hollow eyes
Death comes, you better hide
Never rest in town
[Fall in my arms again]
Full moon on a rotten night
Eighteen and a wind came by, not a soul around
[Fall in my arms again] (Again)

I'm scared of the dark my friends
What do you fear my love?
Your soul it will float like a dove
Your words, they will scream out our love
Your lips, they will start...



5. Pretty Little Girl

 

 
[???]
And you never really know where it goes until it starts
I've got my eye on you, whatcha gonna do?
[...]
And I can't picture you, but I sure got the feeling right
What a crazy world, pretty little girl

And we wasted the night, in a bed, with a bruise
And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news
When you reach for my hand, I was scared in your room
We fell on the floor, and we started to move
And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop
Up my back they would climb, just as I came unglued

She said if you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I'll do it again
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I'll do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight-
We'll be there to try it again

Nineteen, and you roll across the bedroom floor
Your eyes, they came alight as you're dreaming of our future home
And the kids are growing up as you and I, we are growing old
What a crazy world, pretty little girl...

Here's my first take on the opening verse of Pretty Little Girl... just listened to it quick before I have to leave for work.

Nineteen years have ? through my beatin' heart
Oh, it seems like it ? as my hand is moving up your arm
And you never really know where it goes up until it starts
I got my eye on you; whatcha gonna do?
?
Oh, i listen to the song on repeat from the other night
And i can't picture you, but i sure got the feeling right

...and if anybody wants to attempt Yelawolf's part, I can make out some lyrics, but not all of them.

There are parts I'm not sure about particularlly the 2nd last and 3rd last lines, but I think the Disaster lyrics are:

 

Fall comes a loaded gun
Black ties for everyone
Can you read my mind
(Fall in my arms again)
Grey stones that break apart
French braids demonic art
The dead come alive
(Fall in my arms again)

Again
Are you scared of the dark my friends?


What do you fear my love
Hold on you're breaking up

Disaster Disaster
Disaster Disaster

White stones of hollow eyes
Death comes you better hide
Never rest in town
(Fall in my arms again)
Full moon on a rotten night
Eighteen and a wind came by
Not a soul around
(Fall in my arms again)

Again
Are you scared of the dark my friends?

 

What do you fear my love
Your soul it will float like a dove
Your words they will scream out our love
Your lips they will stutter incredible

You can't shake the taste of our love

Hold on you're breaking up

I got you guys covered:

 

PRETTY LITTLE GIRL

 

Nineteen
Your eyes are glowing to my beating heart
Oh, it seems like it is fine
As my hand is moving up your arm
And you never really know where it goes
Up until it starts
I got my eye on you
What you gonna go?
Daydream near a stream
With the liner bites
Oh, I listen to the song on repeat
From the other night
And I can't picture you
But I sure got the feeling right
What a crazy world
Pretty little girl.

And we wake from the night
In a bed with a bruise
And we're laughing out loud
We're the craziest news
And you reach for my hand
I was scared in your room
We fell to the floor
And we started to move
And your hands were like birds
As they flew from the coop
Up my back, they would climb
Just as I came unglued
You said,

If you break my heart
Then I'll change your mind
And I will do it again
If you play the part
Then I will play mine
And I will do it again
If we miss the mark
If we hold on tight
We'll be there to try it again.

Nineteen
As we roll across the bedroom floor
Your eyes they cannot lie
As you're dreaming of our future home
And the kids are growing up
As you and I, we are growing old
What a crazy world
Pretty little girl.

In the rain with a drink
From the back of the bar
I would raise up my voice
You would raise it up more
We'd forget that our lives
Went apart and disarmed
We thought we were close
But it still feels far
Can we learn to get by
If we learn to have scars
We learn to forgive
And accept who we are
You said,

If you break my heart
Then I'll change your mind
And I will do it again
If you play the part
Then I will play mine
And I will do it again
If we miss the mark
If we hold on tight
We'll be here to do it again.

Wait a minute, hold up a second
Don't leave me here with this feeling
Like I'm the one for regretting
Like I never did cope for us both
Like you never did pull out that weapon
And stick that knife through my back
Was I supposed to accept it
When your words are like
More than just sticks and stones
Kinda like a bullet
A hollow tip that lodged in my bones
And I can't just swallow it
My pride is more than all that I own
So I gotta give it away
And some of the times I'm all the way wrong
But can't you see past me
And see my fucked up home
That made me the meanest
The devil is just singing along
To the song I write
Till I'm alone at night
And I hang up the phone
And bite my tongue
Cause I know that me and you is just only right
The one...

One... one... one...

It's a cry from the past
We have been through a lot
Every year has been great
And a few have been tough
And your kids
They will reach for the stars up above
I'll sit and relax as we're cheering them on
All the roads to the life
From the crib to the grave
We started alone
In the end we're okay
You said,

If you break my heart
Then I'll change your mind
And I will do it again
If you play the part
Then I will play mine
And I will do it again
If we miss the mark
If we hold on tight
We'll be there to try it again.

DISASTER

 

Disaster (Disaster)
Disaster (Disaster)

Fall comes, a loaded gun
Black ties for everyone
Can you read my mind?
(Fall in my arms again)
Gravestones that break apart
French braids, demonic art
The dead come alive
(Fall in my arms again)
Again...
Are you scared of the dark, my friends?

What do you fear, my love?
Hold on, you're breaking up.

Disaster (Disaster)
Disaster (Disaster)

White stones of hollow eyes
Death comes
You better hide
Never rest in town
(Fall in my arms again)
Full moon
A rotten night
Eighteen
And a wicked bite
Not a soul around
(Fall in my arms again)
Again...
Are you scared of the dark, my friends?

What do you fear, my love?
Your soul, it will float like a dove
Your words, they won't scream loud enough
Your lips they will stutter with flavor
You can't shake the taste of the blood
Hold on, you're breaking up.

Here's the rest for good measure:

 

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

 

I woke up today
Surrounded by blackness
The small morning sun
Devoured the process
It's always been fun
When I get a bit nervous
And it's hard to say
But I feel a bit weightless
The more I admit
I feel a bit anxious
The more I go on
The less I can face this
And those rotten things
That live in our shadow
We walk on the line
Of death and the gallows
And hope that we clear
A path we can follow.

It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
But I'm alright
(It doesn't hurt that much)

When I was young
The world it was smaller
The cities were vast
The buildings were taller
I felt really strong
My parents seemed stronger
But life has a way
It showers with greatness
Then takes it away
Those pieces that made us
Then teaches ya things
You never imagined
We all get the same
The memories, the burdens
The pictures we made
They still form a pattern
They cautiously sing
Does it all matter?

 

 

 

 

DOGS EATING DOGS

I got a feeling
I got a feeling...

These broken nights
And bitter ends
We will always starve and devour
Our closest friends
My beautiful friends
Paranoia
My paranoia
Can't let it go
It never lets me go
What am I feeling?
Why am I feeling?
We're cast into the freezing cold.

Dogs eatings dogs (Dogs eating dogs)
Dogs eating dogs
Dogs eatings dogs (Dogs eating dogs)
Dogs eating dogs

Among the last and the first
In a very sad set of eyes
To the bone
To the knees
To the factory line
I am numb to the shot
I have a crippling fear of heights
'Cuz the fall sounds alot like a symphony cries.

The only hope is burning down the chapel
All getting washed out with the tide
We need to find some middle ground
It's always sex or suicide.

Dogs eatings dogs (Dogs eating dogs)
Dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs (Dogs eating dogs)
Dogs eating dogs

Among the last and the first
In a very sad set of eyes
To the bone
To the knees
To the factory line
I am numb to the shot
I have a crippling fear of heights
'Cuz the fall sounds alot like a symphony cries.

 

 

 

 

I think we've all got Boxing Day down by now. Cheers!

Yeah, I'm totally with you there on Skynard. That was definitely the first thing I heard too. You might've missed my 2nd post after PYG, but I think it might be some kind of weird Tom-ism for an album's liner notes that he's pronouncing as "linner", which isn't exactly out of the box for him honestly.


 


Somebody on another forum seems to think it's "the winter bites", but I'm definitely hearing an 'L' there. Might even be Lynyrd for all we know. Definitely just guesswork on my part right now. Gonna be one of those lines that's up in the air until we hopefully get something official.

I just wanna punch whoever was the first one who heard "farted", because now that it's been pointed out that's almost all I hear every time I listen to this song.


 


The imagery is just fucked. An intimate moment. A loving caress... and this bitch just cut the cheese. Then Tom goes and chills by the lake with his Skynyrd albums.


 


lol I take it back, that actually makes the song even more rad.

That's the only thing I saw wrong...

That's the only thing I saw wrong...

 

 

In dogs eating dogs I think the line is "we're cast into the freezing cold" not "forecast" am I the only one hearing that?

 

 

It's definitely "we're cast.."

 

Good catch, guys. I've made the appropriate adjustments above.

 

I've also just realized that the first verse of "Disaster" is gravestones that break apart as opposed to grey stones which seems incredibly obvious in hindsight.
