Lyrics to the new songs?

[exileon2ndst]

is there a thread out there on this already? people on here are way better then me figuring it out, haha

[jeffica]

It's hard because there aren't that many recordings!

But my (very approximate and probably highly incorrect) interpretation of Southbound is:

We don't need(?) a care(?), we don't need a chance, we go'n something something now
All I wanna know, is how far you wanna go, fighting for survival
Underneath the stars, where something something paths(?)
Then I hear something about a gameshow, but that's probably wrong
Something girls, naked through their curls, radiating (?) something
If you wanna go, I don't go, I've got a fire burning,
Gun to my head, something (see the band ?) Babe it's gonna be a big one
When we see the lights and we see the fires it's gonna be a stunner
I've got something here, if you give me one more [sounds like meal but I doubt it is ] I'm gonna call a runner
I want to say, something something say/stay, something king in armour
If you wanna go, if you wanna go, I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now, aaah ah (x2)
If you wanna go, I'm going back down south now
Come on take my hand, I'm going back down south now
*Unintelligble* I'm going back down south now
If you wanna go, how far you will go, I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now (x3)

Feel free to totally change all that haha, it's rather heavy on "somethings"

[beplumcrazy]

i think the word dance is somewhere in the first line

"i've got something here, if you give me one more beer"

[jeffica]

So... favours for food/drink either way you interpret it

[Savanna]

It sounds like "pretty little girls" in the 5th line.


Wait a minute...isn't it "back down and southbound"?


Good job jessica! Way more than I could come up with.

[jeffica]

^ Yea I wasn't sure whether it was "south now" or "southbound", the first way makes more sense grammatically, but that doesn't actually matter


Radioactive's a bit clearer:

The road is calm(?), all gone
I hope you see me there
It's in the water, it's where you came from (x2)
When the crowd begins to move (under?)
And you'd like to see your (face?)
It's in the water, it's in the something [sound like stomach but I'm pretty sure even Leb isn't that wierd] it's where you came from
It's in the daughter, I wanna something, there's no escaping
And when they dance, they come together, and start ?rising?
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from
**solo break **
so the road, was called(?) from something-that-rhymes-with-under
And the soul you sell away
It's in the water, it's in the something, it's where you came from
Just like the daughter, I wanna (go in? ), there's no escaping
And when they dance, they come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from (x2)

Whatever it is it's awesome, but mildly disturbing. (AKA pure KoL)

[beplumcrazy]

that might be Immortals cause i think in Mary he actually says Mary

naked through their curls? really caleb? what were you on writing these lyrics?

[rexrupert]

Jeffica I believe it is Radioactive. ^^^

Also "When the crowd begins to move (under?)"

Might be "When the crowd begins to wander/wonder"

[beplumcrazy]

in SB does he say something about broken hearts after underneath the stars?

[jeffica]

^ rexrupert Oh yea, definitely could be!

And I've just listened to what I have labelled as Radioactive and the first lyric is "Marrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"... so I'll change them haha


And yes, I can hear "where you broke" after underneath the stars.... Damn that drawl

[Savanna]

Some of what I'm getting (more or less) from Radioactive...

The road is calm, all gone
I hope you see me there
It's in the water, it's where you came from (x2)
When the crowd begins to wander (or wonder)
And they cry to see your face
It's in the water, it's in this moment, oh (or?) where you came from
It's in your(??) daughter, it's something something, it's gonna save her
And when they dance, they come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from
**solo break **
So the road, it was caught, from down under
And the soul you sell away
It's in the water, it's in the story, oh where you came from
Just like the daughter, I wanna (go in? ), it's gonna save her
And when they dance, they come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from (x2)


I love this song!! And this is fun Apart from my ears begging for mercy...


Southbound...

We don't need(?) a care(?), we don't need a chance, we go'n something something now
All I wanna know, is how far you wanna go, fighting for survival
Underneath the stars, where they park their cars (?)
Ain't showin' signs of stoppin' (??)
Maybe he's saying "pretty little girls, make it through their something?"
If you wanna go, I don't go, I've got a fire burning,
Go on take my hand, wait till you see the band, babe it's gonna be a big one
When we see the lights, and we hear those fights(?), it's gonna be a stunner
I've got something here, if you give me one more beer, I'm gonna call a runner
I'm gonna say, what I have to say, something king in armour
If you wanna go, if you wanna go, I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now, aaah ah (x2)
If you wanna go, I'm going back down south now
Come on take my hand, I'm going back down south now
*Unintelligble* I'm going back down south now
If you wanna go, how far you will go, I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now (x3)

[jeffica]

Yours makes way more sense than mine! Especially the bit about the crowd
(And "it's in the story" is much better than "it's in the stomach" )

Yea my ears hurt now too. But on the plus side everything else sounds amazingly clear

[Savanna]

I can't decipher a damn thing from Mary or Immortals

[exileon2ndst]

damn you guys are quick... haven't been on here much since the spectrum show last april, guess the kings of leon itch is back for me for the summer

[beplumcrazy]

all i get from Mary is the hahahahaha parts

[exileon2ndst]

no i wont, never once make you cry
just to kiss oh i miss your goodbyes...

[jeffica]

All I get from Mary is a dangerously high heart rate

[anners]

whoa whoa whoa wait? where have you guys heard these?
i've only heard the 'devil' song (is that mary?)
and one on youtube at Borgata which is no longer available of youtube

edit: NEVER MIND i went a hunting

[koldrums]

Southbound...

Come on down *?* , we don't need to chance, we go'n to spit on the ?
Come on down the road, is that how far you wanna go? fighting for survival

Underneath the stars, where we parked the cars
Ain't showin' signs of stoppin'
them pretty little girls, naked through them curls /or curves
If you wanna go, I'm gonna go, I've got a fire burning,
Go on take my hand, wait till you see the band, babe it's gonna be a big one
babe it's gonna be a big one

When we see the lights, and we hear those fights, it's gonna be a stunner
I'm not stoppin here, if you give me one more beer I'm gonna call a runner
I'm gonna say, what I have to say, babe, I'm the king of your armour
If you wanna go, where do you wanna go? I'm going back down south now

I'm going back down south now, aaah ah (x2)
If you wanna go, I'm going back down south now
Come on take my hand, I'm going back down south now
See the lights I'm going back down south now
If you wanna go, how far you will go, I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now (x3)[/quote]



I listened to it a lot so I hope these are close until a better version is gotten!

[slownightsolong]

The first line of Southbound sounds like "Come on down and dance, if you get the chance."
