yes I sure miss the early days
I was so drunk
tied up in so many ways
looking for the sanctity of love cause
I might make you handsome
I might give you me
and handsome is getting awfully tough
oh to have my peace

now we're starting up the rain again
starting up the rain again
starting to look the same again
isn't that a shame?

and it goes fine
a fine wide mile
you'll be there for me sweety pie
you'll be there for the dream car
you go running away
cause I might make you handsome
I might if you plead
try the long way back
you could stay travel with the black cab
you can stay travelling with the black cab
baby that's alright with me

bitch slap maybelline, stay hidden, yeah remain unseen
bitch slap maybelline, stay hidden, yeah remain unseen
bitch slap maybelline, stay hidden, yeah remain unseen
bitch slap maybelline, stay hidden, yeah remain unseen

babe dont break, time breaks down
baby, at this rate time should slow down.

    General Comment:I think it's more along the lines of-
    " I said, isn't that a shame?"

    General Comment:i heard this song for the first time earlier.
    it is one of the best songs i've heard in my life.
    i love the lyrics 'stay hidden, yeah remain unseen.' and 'time should slow down.'

    General Comment:i get the impression that he's self concious and feels he always has to look good/dress well to get anyone, and that he cares what ppl think, he knows he's good looking but sometimes feels that's all anyone else ever sees in him and overlook his caracter because of it.. also the girl just wants him as an Ornament.

    and that she's very superficial to and wears lots of make up.

    and in that way they look the same.

    General Comment:I reckon, that it contains strong Christian, spiritual message. I don`t know if the author is conscious of that, but i find this song beautiful. The most shocking for me is the last part: 'time should slow down'. When i first heard songs of inteprol i thought, that theay are superficial and very similiar to each other. Now i know i was wrong...they are fantastic;]

    General Comment:This is an excellent song, although they play a slightly altered version called "Cubed". From my listening, the lyrics are slightly different, I'll post them tonight.

    SteelyDan, I've sent you an email containing the song name (Precipitate), and instructions on how to contact me if you want a copy.

    General Comment:Im not a big fan of this one, but there is also a great unrecorded song by these cats thats out of this world! I think it may be called Daphney or song 8. If anyone knows what Im talking about then help me out.
