yeah, I'm very confused about my laughing city EP. I just noticed this. My Ep has the old version of Telescope Eyes. But every place on the website i've seen that talked about that EP said that it had the new version, is that right?

Wait, you mean you have a real, store-bought, in the wrapper, ep -
Laughing City, and it has the old version of Telescope Eyes?

As in...the second verse goes:

"go cry, go run away,
Let your short legs carry you away
with your big dress and your dirty hair,
your pen's waiting for you,
just get far, far away from me...
I don't want your disease.

That's impossible. I think.

Yes, I think I'll go turn off Queen and check....

...yeah, I think it's the old version, it sings:
"oh you humor me today, calling me out to play
with your telescope eyes, metal teeth I can't
be seen with you.

please don't make me cry, please don't make
me cry I'm just like you I know you know I'm
just like you so leave me alone

go cry go run away let your short legs carry
you away with your telescope eyes metal teeth
I can't be seen with you."
Repeat

That's what it says but maybe that's the new version. I guess I don't know oh well

An easier way to figure it out is if there is a guitar part "reving up" at the beginning.

Berlies_, you're not bad Eisley fan, you just didn't know is all. I suggest you checkout chasd00 site. Good stuff.

I love the original version better personally. I wonder though, and this might be a stupid question, which I'm full of, but in the line "Dear Matthew, why can't you see? You're just not near enough like me..." Who's she talking about? Or do I just have that line all wrong... Keep on rockin'.

When I bought the Laughing City EP... I was like, "what the?"... I had only listened to the other versions Telescope Eyes, Over the Mountains, & Laughing City.

Are the EP's songs newer or older versions? I like the un-EP songs a little better.

You have the line right, but it's just a random name being used.
