Lyrics for Daisy as interpreted by timexbrandnew

Daisy Lyrics
i'm a mountain that has been moved
i'm a river that is all dried up
i'm an ocean nothing floats on
i'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
i'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
i'm a moon that never shows it face
i'm a mouth that doesn't smile
i'm a word that no one ever wants to say

i'm a mountain that has been moved
i'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
i'm a preacher with no pope and spewing a sermon that goes on and on and on

we'll take all these things and we'll bury the past
and we'll pray that they.........
and be alright, it's alright, it'll easier that way
well if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
like a new......start things over again
and be alright, it's alright, it'll easier that way

This song is about two brothers.
It's about their relationship and what it was like growing up with each other.
Jesse is the one with the "big strong arms"
He's telling the story from his little brother's view

Truly genius.

These lyrics, as are all posted by timexbrandnew, are fake.

Proof: a recent interview revealed that "Daisy" is a song written by Vinnie, not Jesse.

timexbrandnew, you're not funny. Just stop it.

He/she is a sneaky little shit but I think these posts are funny. That's just my sense of humor though. I like lying to trick people. I can see why Arter gets pissed but all he can really do is bitch so it doesn't matter anyway. Timexbrandnew has found an outlet for the little bastard within.

It was kinda cute maybe the first time. It's all fun and games until the song is actually out, and we all have to go through the comments to find the lyrics because this idiot has this shit up for every song.

This is actually a song called "Night Man" by Charlie Day in the TV show It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia on FX.

so here are the real lyrics to daisy...it was played after a show one night..all acoustic.

do you really know all that you let on?
im beginning to feel that you do not
if i simply chose not to intervene
you might become a submarine
at the bottom...

of an ocean
that you let no one swim through
i can see you
going through the motions
and no one can help you

if you really knew what was best for you
you would bite into an apple
pick up a shovel
and lay the dirt on top of where you were
then slide in bed
get outside your head
lay down your shield and be where you are

so tell me, love
are you watching out??
did a bullet make it through just as quiet as a mouse?
help me here!
im behind the glass mirror
as you break into some tears and lose your will to feel

if i simply chose to turn my back
there'd be no coming back
and no to understand
why you do the things you do to let yourself down
if you really thought id tuck-tail and run
you'd be all bones
decomposing underground
you'd be just where you wanna be
all alone hearing non-existant sounds

poor child
i swear ill stitch myself to your side
ill spoon-feed you
good amounts of pie

and though i know my words
are hollow, laughable...meaningless
to you
ill repeat them til they seep through
and seem a little bit true

I know what is best
the healthy course
I know where to take you to fix this sore
I am on to you...
and never letting go!

never letting go
never letting go

lurtzz: I haven't heard it. There are a few reviews for it, though. The info I know came mostly from this:

http://www.bombshellzine.com/focuson/brand-new-daisy.htm

All other info I have (which is actually a little bit more than I've stated so far) came from absolutepunk.net.

timexbrandnew: stfu. No, they aren't.

my favorite lyrics on the new album so far.

i like how he's expressing how the daisy is coming inside him and filling him up to actually hold the essence of a daisy.

i'm a mountain that has been moved
i'm a river that is all dried up
i'm an ocean that nothing floats on
i'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
i'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
i'm a moon that never shows it's face
i'm a mouth that doesn't smile
i'm a word that no one ever wants to say

i'm a moutain that has been moved
i'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
i'm a preacher with no pulpit
spewing a sermon that goes on and on

take all those things and i'll bury them fast
and pray that they turn to seeds to roots and then grass
and be alright, it's alright
it'll be easier that way

well then the sky opened up and started pouring rain
like it knew it was time to start things over again
and be alright, it's alright
it'll be easier that way

take all those things and i'll bury them fast
and pray that they turn to seeds to roots and then grass
and be alright, it's alright
it'll be easier that way

one of the best songs on the album

" [And we sing this morning that wonderful and grand old message. I don't know about you but I never get tired of it. Number 99: Just As I Am.]

I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a river that is all dried up.
I'm an ocean nothing floats on.
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in.
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot.
I'm a moon that never shows it's face.
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile.
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say.

I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run.
I'm a preacher with no pulpit,
spewing a sermon that goes on and on.

Take all those things and I'll bury them fast.
And pray that they turn to seeds to roots and then grass.
And be alright, it's alright.
It'll be easier that way.

Well then the sky opened up and started pouring rain,
Like it knew it was time to start things over again.
And be alright, it's alright.
It'll be easier that way."

I like this song. I can see why it's called Daisy, now. It's about re-growing, I guess. It fits well as the theme of the album.

As for the background lyrics, I'll get on that. Doesn't sound like it'll be too hard to figure out.

This song has alot of religous connotations -

the opening refrence to number 99, 'just as I am' is refering to the hymn which goes by the same name.
Johnny Cash made this hymn popular in 1999 by using it in a song which also goes by the same name.

Charlotte Elliot wrote this song about how to find salvation through Christ. It has been used by many as the call to the altar at the close of services, as it brings a quiet simple message of sin, forgiveness, and salvation to all that listen.

An elderly man asked Charlotte Elliott if she were a Christian; she felt insulted, and told him to mind his own affairs. But after the man left, she could not get the question off her mind, and she went back to ask the man how to find Christ. He told her to come just as she was. She did, and wrote the beautiful song, "Just As I Am." - By B. A. Scherr

She is reputed to have written the hymn whilst resting under the shade of a tree at the site of a property which was being built by her brother Reverend Henry Venn Elliott as a school for the daughters of impoverished clergymen.

That explains the little boy/girl who reads.

Pretty sure I have most of the clearly audible parts right.
The kid speaking sounds sort of lie that but I can't make it out and the last of it doesn't sound like dream, it ends with a t-ish sound. But it might just be bad kid articulation.

Can anyone make out what the backing verse is over the last two stanzas?

Daisy

"And we sing this morning, that wonderful and grand old message. And I don't know about you but I never get tired of it. Number Ninety-Nine, 'Just As I Am'"

I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a river that is all dried up.
I'm an ocean nothing floats on.
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in.
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot.
I'm a moon that never shows it's face.
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile.
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say.

"My [], he wasn't finding anybody when he was on his shelf. I saw him []"

I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run.
I'm a preacher with no pulpit, spewing
a sermon that goes on and on and on...

Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast
and we'll pray that they turn to seeds, to roots,and then grass
it'd be alright. It's alright, It'd easier that way.

Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
like they knew he was trying to start things over again
it'd be alright. It's alright, It'd easier that way.

I saw him in my dream

The album has been leaked 3 weeks early; I downloaded the torrent for it yesterday and it is INCREDIBLE, nothing like they have done before.

p.s. these are the correct lyrics!

I'm still working on the background words. Not sure this is correct, but the first two lines may be:
I don't know what to say
But you don't make a sound


And one of the last lines sounds like
"Don't say he's alone."
