This Charming Man

Why don't we try to transcribe the lyrics by ear? I've started on Cut the rope and there is a thunder.

Good idea... I will see what I can do on my time off.

cut the rope

Quote :

now the man is on fire
there's death in the kitchen
and i'm sure he won't turn off the lights tonight
cause he needs them to see
he needs to prove that he can believe
????????????
but the lines grow askewed
like the color of any argument
and tonight the silent host is his decay
though he knows where she is
she knows exactly where he is
the separation hangs like suicide

but be sure that there's an answer coming one of these nights
just take a deep breath and close your eyes for a while
let the strong spring breeze take your temperature down
while you stretch your broken body out
let the silences of mercy keep a song in your ear
keep your promise about pity
sixty minutes of tears
and so you don't lose hope
i'll lose an hour of sleep
every night just in case you call

tonight a woman reflects
on her decisions and comforts
and if she knows how far halfway is after all
and still she won't turn out the lights
and she waits until morning
how long until the answers make their demands
and demand, they will
and in her soul, she knows this
she knows we all have to testify sometimes
if some other white hot lights
to waltz on to crimes
some just approve that the truth was in them all this time

there is a thunder

Quote :

if you still wanna wear my name, dearly departed
i'm hard up and lonesome, but i know where your heart is
and if i still take your breath away, you don't need to say nothing
i hear the thunder out in the distance

and i remember those nights with the stereo on
c'est la vie, save me
and i know you remember the first time i needed you here
i called carolina, told you come home
please come home

la la la la la la
it's just all that i'm mourning
la la la la la la
but i get so frustrated sometimes
la la la la la la
but i do still burn for you
la la la la la la
i'm gonna bring it back home tonight

and i know how you're lonely
with these long hours i'm working
midnight oil stretches and stretches

and i remember those nights with the stereo on
c'est la vie, save me
and i know you remember the first time i needed you here
i called carolina, told you come home
please come home

so darling, bare with me
i just wanna lie here for a while
i know the daylight comes too soon
and for a minute there, i lost my shame, shame, shame, shame

la la la la la la
it's just all that i'm mourning
la la la la la la
but i get so frustrated sometimes
la la la la la la
but i do still burn for you
la la la la la la
i'm gonna bring it back home tonight
la la la la la la
i'm gonna bring it back home tonight
la la la la la la

Thanks!

i went to the link on the purevolume to eyeball records.
it doesnt list them, but it does list a band called 'the anthem sound' under inactive members

probably unrelated, but its still quite a coincidence

damn

hey, scott, did you record that from the page?

No, I did not, but the way I found it was through some site where it mentioned that they had recorded off that page.

I got the track from the purevolume page as well but I didn't record it I just downloaded it straight from the source. Shit is like 64 kbps tops.

I know the copy sucks... but 64 is better than 0

You are as wise as you are handsome sir.

i got some free downloads from xoxo records and one of the songs they gave me for free was kiss me im a pirate and thats a fucking great song, i need this cd

Yeah it's really bluesy compared to Sink Or Swim, but it's pretty awesome anyway. My favorite track is cut the rope followed by Sweet Delta Blues.

anyone think Brian sounds a lot like Matt Skiba on "She Coulda Raised the Titanic"?

nah i didnt think so

Do you guys want me to rip and upload it? Or does anyone wanna buy it off of me?

I can kinda see it, but he doesn't sound "a lot" like him.
It sounds like a more scratchy version of Matt... if that makes sense.

No one else tried to transcribe any of the lyrics?

The album is in ebay stores.. i just ordered one.. its for like a buck but then $6 shipping.. still not bad, ide snatch it up if u want it...

I just put the CD in and iTunes came up and told me it was TGA rather than This Charming Man ha.

speaking of iTunes, 59' sound is free single of the week in the UK!

holy shit i was listening to sweet delta blues and during the during the breakdown hes singing scene of the crime from the crt, give a listen and you will see what im talking about.

yeah dude, I mentioned that a few weeks ago in the "Sweet Delta Blues" Song Meanings thread. "Let's let the investigation start, let all the interrogation tear us apart" right?

yeah dude thats awesome

dude, you're on the skachilles forum? since when?
