Flake Music – Mieke

  General Comment:I accidentally added this as a reply to the previous comment. Oh well, here I go again.
  
  This is what I hear:
  
  I want you on my side
  To take the hard shots with me.
  You make it easy to decide.
  You show all your feathers to me.
  
  There's a trail that ends tonight
  Within the walls of this living room.
  All of my thoughts that weren't so right
  Blow and thunder loudly.
  
  Like two strays in a terminal
  Floating ciders in the sky
  Drifting leaves while stoned aside.
  This is the race we're meant to run.

  General Comment:In addition to what guitarroman1 said about Mieke, I have a different version of Deluca (on a split as Flake with Henry's Dress). Deluca is definitely track 6. I think the correct order is:
  01. Spanway Hits
  02. Blast Valve
  03. Roziere
  04. Structo
  05.
  06. Deluca
  07. Mieke
  08.
  09. The Shins
  10.
  11. Vantage

    OK, so after some recent Googling and digging around on the Internet, I found out that the old version of Deluca that I have was actually titled Loncie on that split single. So I suppose that point I made was useless and incorrect anyway. That's the correct track order from everything that I've seen, though.
    
    On the other hand, I acquired a really old 1993 version of Mieke, Flake's first single. It sounds so much different! Most of the lyrics are different, too, except for the first two lines, but they're way harder to make out, and I'm not even going to attempt it. Take a listen: lo-budge.com/lo-budge/not_me/….

  General Comment:dude..hopesoforyou im pretty sure you're wrong about the mistitle because when the shins performed this song live, they call it mieke..though i do admit that some of the tracklistings on the cd are messed up i dont think its this song

  General Comment:this song (track 7) is actually titled "Deluca" - the tracks are incorrectly listed when you burn the CD, as the instrumentals are all supposed to be the untitled tracks. "Mieke" is the following track (8), which begins with the line "We broke our face and we had to try" (?) and then leads into "The Shins" (9).
