Collected Animals

These might come with a lyric sheet like the Euc so this may be a fool's errand but I love what I can hear from Mayan

You're a Mayan
when your future's not being right now
when you discover that day's are long
the night wears a beautiful crown

[verse 2]

I can see us laughing
What a thing to be growing X3

you could be........ (sounds like "wearing the kitchen/here in the kitchen")
or sleep through the fire
wanna know I could come get you X3

Mayan x3


I'll tidy this up later. anyone got any others?

nice! i love deciphering lyrics. will give some of them a shot when i'm bored

ENJOY THE CHANGE

grab me a cool little something
folded in the back in the digital eye
i'm looking at the star sign
and then you chew your willow
so content with the dust and those yellow roots
dive a dust screen
stop and change
your knee is bleeding

everyone thinks someone is someone else
everything else is something with the many hands

smile to the tune i'm humming
sweet old man
don't know where he's going
his boots aren't old
and when we're out of licorice
and you stay fishing on the fit for a card game
radio color line
stop and change
my heart is needy

everyone thinks someone is someone else
everything is something with a many hands

so cool, mountain water splashing on my face
i've been thinking of a way to enjoy the change

see us run from the old thing
then we sit down, write about that old thing
caught you thinking bout that old thing
you caught me dancing to that old thing
don't you worry bout that old thing
aren't you better than the ring of the old thing

people tell each other dreams to change their own lives
be different from the fates and we'll laugh tonight
something warm to drink right now in the moonlight

we lost the wire ladies
we lost them in their furnaces
we lost the wires
what was it for
bring back the marbles

we lost the wire ladies
we lost them in their furnaces
we lost the wires
what was it for
we're losing the marbles

people tell each other dreams to prove that time lies
they'll be different from the fates and we'll laugh tonight
something stiff to drink right now in the moonlight

there's no way to fight the fighting, the state of things
things do happen how they happen now, anyway
if you think about it too long
don't understand how to live in now
how can you enjoy the change?

there's no way to fight the fighting, the state of things
things do happen how they happen now, anyway
if you think about it too long
don't understand how to live in now
how can you enjoy the change?

ONO LEMONADE

the sweetheart of the lemonade
laid lonely in his bed
the pineapples carved like porcupines
descending on the chimes
but we wouldn't want the warden to know we were running out
always safe beneath the beaches, playing
may apples allowed
if you run and hide i'll have to come and find you, have no doubt
we can bow at nature's show
my ono lemonade
the prince, he shelled pistachios
to catch the blood from hearts
he drank his fill of lemonade
and didn't mind the spills
and when the pleasure finally laid him on the ground so he could shout
and today they say they heard him on the other side of town
naked only in the hours in between the time of clouds
they're gonna burn up all his glow
my ono lemonade
my ono lemonade
my ono lemonade
my ono lemonade
lemonade
lemonade

EYES ON EYES

eyes on eyes, i caught you talking
don't get caught, too tied to eyes
eyes that frequently do cross me
take me for your pleasure ride
i can't sleep, i gotta see them
i can see all kinds of eyes
all the eyes i could have seen
oh, yours came gleaming
i can't look back
i'm changed in you

eyes eyes eyes

now i've seen eyes that look like rubies
i've watched them do some crimson crying
i've seen eyes so soft and soothing
take me for a pleasure ride
but why'd you have to go and do me
make me forget all those eyes
eyes that saw me like a movie
but you improved me
i can't look back at

eyes that came from the good old days
have left me now
and though they saw me like a child
they're floating now
and all my days are blurry-eyed
i saw your face
it gave me hope for a better world
i can see it in your eyes, i do
i'm changed in you

eyes

now eyes i should have never seen
rise up from your daily dying
give me comfort, but let me leave
cause some day your eyes might change your mind
one more look
just one more peep
do you remember that sweet time when
i saw you see me in your eyes
i saw you see me in your eyes
i saw you see me in your eyes
i saw you see me in your eyes
i saw you see me in your eyes
i saw you see me in your eyes

but eyes that came from the good days
have left me now
and though they saw me like a child
they're floating now
and all my days are blurry-eyed
i saw your face, it gave me hope for a better world
i can see it in your eyes, i do
i'm changed in you
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes
eyes eyes eyes

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL

here's a little note about curious past
too much history's not always such a good thing

pal child
i can cry

know i just wrapped up
twisted heart
know it'll make you feel good
you can tell him that you’re single

pal child
i can cry

grey clouds are coming back
try to learn a lesson from it
you could do better with it

pal child
i can cry

my heart is open to it now
my heart is open to it now
i like it to be so special to me
i like it to be so special to me
but i can take it right now
right now
it's thrilling me now
right now
right now

Is there a little finger that you want to touch
[up low] the accident filled with meaning

pal child
i wonder why

just some modest thing at the bar
make you see a magic thing in wooden reflections

pal child
wonder why

it's gotta keep flowing
can't be held to [its vehicle] of a collision in the ripples and

pal child
i can cry

my heart is open to it now
my heart is open to it now
i like it to be so special to me
i like it to be so special to me
but i can take it right now
right now
it's thrilling me now
right now
right now

pal child
i can cry

my heart is open to it now
my heart is open to it now
i like it to be so special to me
i like it to be so special to me
but i can take it right now
right now
it's thrilling me now
right now
right now

SATURDAYS

completeness is written on a cake
the red the white the blue the opaque
smoking off into the nothingness
some sweet replies
dripping up out of the ovens
words convey a wonderful day
when will things get roving
cause who but I will take you out into the open
[brush] of a neck and drop of a lake and
things that i am hoping for you
and some do try to get a little superstitious
it's hard to forget laying in the bed
and not getting any wishes
and you don't know why they picked on saturdays
should be just like all the days
do you know why you never got questioned for mondays
cause they remind thee of those saturdays
is it saturday?
do we have, do we have, do we have to-
is it saturday?
do we have, do we have to play?
is it saturday?
do we have, do we have to play?
is it saturday?
do we have, do we have, do we have-
my how time flies, said my little cousin
my how time flies, said my little cousin
i turned to break through the southern pond
and with the dragonflies we went buzzin'
i turned to break through a southern pond
and with the dragonflies we went buzzin'
and you don't know why they picked on saturdays
should be just like all the days
do you know why you were never quite punchin for mondays
cause they remind thee of those saturdays

THE MAYAN

when you're a mayan
future is being right now
when you've discovered light
days so long
some place to be right now

when you're a mayan
[????] feed right now
when you discovered night
stars so long
moon has a beautiful crown
i can see us laughing
what a thing to be growing
what a thing to be growing

do you feel like you're wearing your kitchen
and sleeping on fire

brother no, i will come get you
brother don't, i will come get you
sister no, i will come get you
sister no, i will come get you

mayan
mayan

when you're a mayan
future is being right now
when you discover night
day so long
some place to feed the [cows]

when you're a mayan
time might not look as straight now
people say you're not right
they'll be wrong
moon has a beautiful crown

i can see us laughing
what a thing to be growing
what a thing to be growing
what a thing to be growing
what a thing to be growing

and that happens when i sleep too long
rewind it cause i liked it the first time
that happens when i sleep too long
rewind it cause i liked it the first time

stop dreaming of portraits
and sleep for a night
stop dreaming of portraits
and sleep for a night
stop dreaming of portraits
and sleep for a night

On man guys ..I gotta say .. Reading theae aibg lyrics gave me the chills and brings me back to some of the first times I've read lyrics of songs from Feels and SB !

glad you're enjoying man!! i get that same joy when i'm transcribing them, glad someone else is too

SEW HAPPY

once upon a time one horse did whinny
echo through the mountains high and wide
she popped out and thoughts of it became
crept through wet dirt looking for sunshine
cat woke up, was smelling something lovely
as that horse did, he could take a ride
see cat and horse had been friends since horse's whinnying
all that dressed each horse racing came by
and just like two seekers they were coarsing [???]
just looking for that hopeful pot of gold
let's find some feet and make them do our bidding
we'll ride into the sunset, happy oh
so happy
so happy oh oh oh oh
so happy oh oh oh oh
so happy like aahhhhhhhh low
ahhhhh low oh oh
ahhhhh low
ahhhhh low oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
look at this place
look at this place
she said girl, yeah
look at this place
she said yeah, yeah
look at this place
she said yeah, yeah
look at this place
look at this place
she said hey hey
look at this place
look at this place
she said hey hey
look at this place
look at this place
she said hey, hey

TAKEN BOY

my taken girl
in taking her
i found out i'm wrecking her
cause she'll always be
what i think she'd be
and the thoughts of she
are a mystery
but she's taken
oh my aching boy
she's my dream of choice
she's awakening me
but it never was
only was in dreams
all the pretty days
are taken away
i'm shaking

These round o lyrics are deep as nuts ...

Damn Avery never fail

eyes on eyes
saturdays
the mayan
ono lemonade

Derriere?

nice work fuji! think almost all of your changes are spot on

don't think there's a clear enough recording of derriere to try to decipher those lyrics unfortunately deakness only recording of that is from when he played at that church in lisbon right? vocals are super echoey because of the space as i recall

I've only just got round to checking out the lyrics so thank you so much, dud. Wow, I've got goosebumps listening and reading along. Amazing.

sure thing was fun to do

uncle donut
derriere chorus

wonder why av didn't release lyrics with the album ?
hopefully he will if ever gets there
we need the official
