I guess the lyrics I typed up needed more editing than I thought they did.

It's times like this that I'm so glad I'm a girl and don't think like a guy.

Cynthia, thank you very very much for transcribing the lyrics. I know that takes a bit of time to do and you were busy with your family. So I really appreciate that.
Doc, any chance of getting those lyrics up? Maybe the audori boys could vet the lyrics if you're otherwise occupied? Surely three sets of eyes could come up with a pretty accurate transcription.
thanks...

No problem. I actually enjoyed doing it - I guess I don't listen to the words very carefully when I'm casually listening to music, because it really gave me a new appreciation for the songs. The words were very powerful lyrics.

I understand the desire to proof the lyrics transcription before publishing it on the web site. But until that happens, would it be possible for me to get to get a private copy of the lyrics? I understand without being vetted, they may not be totally accurate. I promise not to forward or duplicate the lyrics anywhere else - just for my own use. Maybe you or Cynthia could e-mail or pm me?

Guess I should have guessed that there would be quite a few misinterpretations since I used to think the lyric "Get Up and Boogie" was about a guy named "Azookie" that wouldn't get out of bed. 
(However, I was just a small child then...)
It will be interesting to see the spots that were so far off.

There are a few dubious things that I will have to check by actually listening to the disc itself, but it's 95% there.
Cynthia did a (mostly) outstanding job with this. There are a few funny personal interpretations she fell into which I found most amusing, but I am actually quite surprised that there wasn't a whole lot more of that -- most folks end up practically rewriting the song!
Cyn, I will forward the Word doc. back to you as soon as I am all finished up.
IT'S ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!! |
Thanks (I guess) : )
I guess this is what I intended to say back a few postings ago, instead of "It lives. It lives." I was thinking of the Mel Brooks film, but must have got it mixed up with the Easter hymn "he lives, he lives, Christ Jesus lives today.." Oops... 
Jason, I'm curious, were the words close to what you thought they'd be? What did you think of them?

First off I should clarify that I probably had lyrics to about a 1/3 or more of Holy Ghost Building since I was albe to find a some of those lyrics online. Remember that it was actually Rising Sun that I was really trying to get the lyrics for. But it's wonderful to have the complete Building lyrics. I only mention that so that you understand below why I say that I already had some of the lyrics. While I could find some of the lyrics for Building on my own, I've not had the same luck with Rising Sun. I haven't found ANY lyrics for that so far.
I'M WORKING ON A BUILDING
I knew most of the lyrics to this one. I never could figure out the last verse though since none of the versions I found online matched. So it's nice to know now what the last verse says. This is probably my second favorite song on the album. Very smooth vocals and catchy jangle sounds. A few months after the album came out, my church actually had a work day to do some clean-up and some strucural repairs. I sure wish I had the album with me to play because it sure would've been fitting. Instead I had to be content with the song playing in my head the whole day.
KEEP YOUR LAMPS...
I had the lyrics to this one. I don't think there were any differences to what I had before.
STRANGER...
This is all new to me as I didn't have any of the lyrics. Painfully honest song.
I'LL REMEMBER YOU...
This is also all new to me. I didn't know any of the lyrics before. I love the lyricsm of this song, especially the first verse.
"When the curtains of night are pinned back by stars
And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky
When the dew drops of heaven are kissing the rose
It's then that my memory flies"
That is beautiful. This song has become a hot track for me because of the awesome lyrics.
YOU GONNA BE SORRY..
I sort of had lyrics for this one. The arrangement was different and I couldn't really match the singing to particular words. So while I had the gist, I didn't know Mike's specific take on it. This is probably my favorite on the album. That guitar beat or whatever you want to call it is really unique and it just grabs my attention every time.
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE...
This one was all new to me. I didn't have any of the lyrics. It's a real pretty song - I like the harmonizing. It certainly adds to the song to know the lyrics. It's one of the standout songs to me on this album.
HE'S A MIGHTY GOOD LEADER
I had the lyrics to this one already.
WHEN MY BLUE MOON
It's Elvis! It wasn't hard to find the lyrics to this one. Very nice blusey tune.
EVERYBODY OUGHT TO PRAY
Another new one to me. I didn't know any of the lyrics. It's insteresting how it has a similar repetition pattern like the Working On a Building song.
I'M GONNA RUN...
I was really looking forward to the lyrics of this one. The version of this song on Fun With Sound is one of my favorite songs period. But the lyrics so hard to understand, even with partial lyrics. I was hoping these lyrics would fill in the gaps on that other version - but alas some of it is still totally undecipherable to me.
A LIFETIME...
Another new one to me. I see now what people meant when they said this song didn't really fit with the rest of the album. It's a melancholy tune on an album of gospel songs. But the song itself is classic 77s. Reminds me of other songs like Begin or Best I Have. It's that pining type of song. Lifetime just needs a better home. I'll have to make a playlist of some sort and put this one on it.
---
Cynthia, again, thank you for the lyrics. It adds depths to the album and becomes more than just music. It almost becomes soul nutrition if you get what I'm saying. I'm one of those people who normally prefers songs with good lyrics - not just good music.
