beer This song is amazing. Here's what I think are the lyrics. Couldn't figure em all out though, If anyone can help with corrections or missing bits, please do.

----


I've been travelin, but I don't know where
I've been listenin, but you just don't care
And I've been wandering, seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home

And I've been to Africa, lookin for my soul
I feel like an actor, lookin for a role
I've been in Arabia, seen a million stars
Been sippin champagne, on the boulevards

I'm so sick and tired, tryin to turn the tide
I'll say my goodbye, Laugh, laugh, I nearly died

I've been ?????????, but it froze my bones
I'm leavin for the city, but I'm all alone
I've been travelin, but I don't know where
I've been wandering, but i just don't care

I hate to be denied, How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside, but Laugh, laugh, i nearly died

Been travelin far and wide, wonderin who's gonna be my guide

Livin in a fantasy, but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wanderin, feel all alone
And i lost my direction, and i lost my home

I'm so sick and tired, ????????????
Feel so despised, When you Laughed, laughed, I almost died

Been travelin far and wide, wonderin who's gonna be my guide

beer Infamy
---

I know you got it in for me, i knew it right from the start
I'm still learnin my lines baby, Since you've rewritten my part,
Oh why have you got it in for me, Things they are not what they seem,

You are livin in a nightmare baby, but i'm just lookin for a dream

yeah just for a dream
You got it in for me

I know ya got it in for me, you didn't miss a thing

It's you that wrote the song baby, but me who's got to sing ???

I knew you had it in for me, where do you take it from here, We got along so famously, it's time you make it clear

I know you got it in for me, i knew it right from the start

You've already convicted me, Why'd you ??? my heart

All you wanna do is wipe the floor with me

Right from the start

beer She Saw Me Coming
--

She saw me coming (X3)
I didn't see a thing
I wasn't looking
I just walked into it
Sucker for it, I'm a sucker, thought I was so cool
She saw me coming, boy did I get screwed
She saw me coming, she had me ???
Her ring was studded? , I was lined up in her sites
She works so fast, and she didn't mess around
It was all over, before the sun goes down, sun goes down
She saw me coming, she moved in for the kill
??????
She busted in and she Burglerized** my soul
But now the bad news is I'm on a roll
She wrote the whole thing, the middle and the end
What a cast of characters of lovers and my friends
The plot was twisted, there was only one result
She saw me coming, but the going, going got too tough
She saw me coming
?????
I'm a stupid jerk???
She was a piece of work
She ?????? my bone
I felt like i was cloned
She had me on a rope


-

** = jeez, that can't be right can it? Mick's soul was burgled!!

beer Biggest Mistake
-----

When love comes so late, it will really hit hard
It slams through the gate, It'll catch you off gaurd
Everyone said, what a perfect little match
and she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch
I was drinkin it up, gulpin it down
drifting for months on a billowing cloud
But after awhile I stopped to revell?
I'm back in the past and i'm raising up hell(?)
but I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
We've been living together for over a year
The harmonies perfect, it rang loud and clear
????????????,my love's not to????
The little things baby, that's what they say
I acted impatient(?), I acted unkind, I took you for granted
I played with her mind, She didn't deserve it
but it was too late, I walked out the door
and left her to her fate.
I think i just made the biggest mistake of my life

Now i'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
I never go out, i'm becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch

????????
?
--------------


I've been drinkin wine tonight while listening so if some of these lyrics are way off i wouldn't be surprised. a nice mix of good lyrics and dopey lyrics though! Fuck it, i like it. Bigger bang yo.......

JaggerLips The Back of My Hand
Courtesy of JaggerLips

I hear a preacher on the corner
Ranting like a crazy man
This is the trouble
Troubles are coming
I can read it like the back of my hand

I see love, I see misery
Jammin' side by side on the stand
In the wind some mournful melody
I can read it like the back of my hand

mmm ah the back of my hand oh yeah

Oh yeah mm

I see dreams I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the ah ah ah ahh
Well read it like the back of my hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah mmm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh yeah read it like the back of my hand.

Lyrics by Jagger/Richards

Just a little edit beer!
Laugh I nearly died is an instant classic!!

Saint Sway I'm convinced that the line in BOMH that you have listed as:
"I see dreams, I see visions"

really sounds like:
"I see dreams, I see vaginas"

VoodooChileInWOnderl These are the lyrics with Spanish translation of "It won't take long" and "This place is empty".

Transcribed, translated and posted by Javier Torres at our message board in Spanish "Banquete de Pordioseros" (Beggars Banquet) http://rocksoff.org/foro a joint venture of Midnight Rambler and Rocks Off with princess Estela as moderator and webmistress


It wonīt take long

It wonīt take long to forget you
Time passes fast
Itīll be over in a minute
Youīll be in the past

You can lose the love of a lifetime
In a single row
You can gain a fortune in an instant
Or you can lose your soul

It wonīt take long to forget you
You are all i never own
Itīll be over in a minute
It wonīt take long

It wonīt take long to forget you
But its hard to forget
Couse it seems like its yesterday
the day that we first met

when you give me your *** look
put out your cigarrette
and i saw you come so ***
you wear a pale blue dress

It wonīt take long to forget you
You are all i never own
Itīll be over in a minute
It wonīt take long

Life is short donīt look at this over
Couse its criying shock
All i got is some memories
Stock in an old shoe box


It wonīt take long to forget you
You are all i never own
Itīll be over by christmas
No it wonīt take long

It wonīt take long


No tomara mucho tiempo

No tomara mucho tiempo olvidarte
El tiempo pasa rapido
Todo se acabara en un minuto
Tu estaras en el pasado

Tu puedes perder el amor de una vida entera
En una jugada
Tu puedes ganar una fortuna en un instante
O tu puedes perder tu alma

No tomara mucho tiempo olvidare
Tu eres lo unico que nunca me pertenecio
Todo se acabara en un minuto
No tomara mucho tiempo

No tomara mucho tiempo olvidarte
Pero es dificil olvidar
Porque parece como si fuera ayer
El dia en que nos conocimos

Cuando me das tu ***
Apagas tu cigarrillo
Y te veo venir tan ***
Tu llevas puesto un vestido azul palido

No tomara mucho tiempo olvidare
Tu eres lo unico que nunca me pertenecio
Todo se acabara en un minuto
No tomara mucho tiempo

La vida es corta no repases esto otra vez
Porque es un ataque de llanto
Todo lo que tengo son recuerdos
Guardados en una vieja caja de zapatos


No tomara mucho tiempo olvidare
Tu eres lo unico que nunca me pertenecio
Todo se acabara para navidad
No tomara mucho tiempo

No tomara mucho tiempo



This place is empty

Walk right in
Sit on down
And make yourself at home

Come on baby
You are just like me
And you hate to be alone

Is funny how things go around
Its crazy but its true

This place is empty
Oh so empty
Its empty witout you

Come on
Bed* your breasts and make me feel like home
You and me we are just like the rest
And we dont wanna be alone

Its funny how things go around
But go around they do

This place is empty
Empty, so empty without you

This place is empty
Empty, so empty without you

Oh yeah
Mmm
Its empty without you
Mmm

Come on,
settle down and treat me sweet and close
At least by now you
You have learned
how to love a fool

Its funny how things turn around
Its crazy but its true
This place is emprty
So empty, so empty without you

This place is empty
Oh so empty without you


Este lugar esta vacio

Pasa
Y toma asiento
Y sientete como en casa

Vamos nena
Tu eres igual que yo
Y no te gusta estar sola

Es gracioso como pasan las cosas
Es loco , pero es verdad

Este lugar esta vacio
Oh tan vacio
Esta vacio sin ti

Vamos
Acurruca tus pechos y hazme sentir como en casa
Tu y yo somos igual que el resto
Y no queremos estar solos

Es gracioso como pasan las cosas
Pero asi es como pasan

Este lugar esta vacio
Vacio, vacio sin ti

Este lugar esta vacio
Vacio, vacio sin ti

Oh si
Mmm
Esta vacio sin ti
Mmm

Vamos
Calmate y tratame dulcemente
Al menos para este momento
Tu ya habras aprendido
Como amar a un tonto

Es gracioso como pasan las cosas
Es loco, pero es verdad
Este lugar esta vacio
Tan vacio, tan vacio sin ti

Este lugar esta vacio
Oh tan vacio sin ti

beer Let Me Down Slow
------

???? so hardcore, ??????
Don't be too direct, because i feel a little fragile
Don't hit the nail on the head,
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
There's a swish(?) in your step, There's a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair, with a new kind of dye
The first one to blink(?), is the first one to fall
I don't want a confrontation, I got my back to the wall
baby, baby, let me down real slow
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow

beer Driving too fast
--

You can follow the road to the mountain,
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where your ?? go left or go right
It's you in the drivers seat
And if the rain starts pumpin your windscreen
There's a light ??? into the night
????????? ????? the highways blind and bright
Goin out of your brain, out of your mind
???????????, your going blind
Youre drivin too fast, you went straight past the curve
and you never go back,
Drivin too fast, the road was a blur and it all turned to black

Driving too fast, hang on to the wheel i think you're gonna crash
???? the freeway divided, it's a pity you can't take em both
But at least there's a valley ???? down some alley
The other runs down to the coast
too bad the roads lead to nowhere, but how they twist and they turned. At the dead end is a dusty old strip mall,
where tires are all shredded and burned.
You're goin, outta your brain, out of your mind
Don't let em tell ya, youre gonna ???
You'r drivin too fast, straight through the curve
You'r drivin too fast and you never go back
You'r drivin too fast, runnin out of gas
??????????

beer Look what the cat dragged in
---

???
You like to go out drinkin and you love to have a good time. But you came in when I was drinking coffee, having breakfast on a fortnight(?)
I won't interrogate you, and i never will berate you
But your light's on(?) From where you've been, lost weekend

What's that look on your face, ?????
Your eyes are all red, get ready for bed, your hairs all over the place.
Look what the cat dragged in, don't you call me your friend.
Get out of my house with your dirty old mouth, pick up your pride again.
Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again.
Looking at the sunday papers ?? what all the ladies did was so ???.
Checking what was going on, in syria and Lebanon
??????
Governor appears beside you and i hate to ostracize you(?)
???? where you been? Lost weekend.
You look like a total ????, ???? have her paid(?)
You look like a bunch of SGT Peppers (WHAT??)
Everybody ????
Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again
???
(Repeat)

---------

This one was hard to figure out and it could be WAY off. you decide. I tried to figure all of em out from the lo-fi recording which was insanely hard to do. i hope i got somewhat close. Much thanks to G.L. aka VCiW

stonesmik Let me down slow
----------------

You look a little dressed up
You're actin' way too smart
Your face a little bit blushed
For a walk in the park
And you're ... your ...
As you walk in the dark
And your smile got a twist
You're lookin' so hardcore
You got something to say
Don't be too direct
Because I feel a little fragile
Don't hit the nail on the head
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
No no no no
There's a swish in your step
There's a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair
With some new kind of dye
The first one to blame
Is the first one to fall
I don't want a contradiction
I got my back to the wall
Oooh, I say baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no no

[guitar solo]

I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no no no no no

Let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no
Oh baby, baby, ...
Ooh
