 Post subject: Original "Telescope Eyes" lyricsPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2004 12:11 pm 
I was just wondering.... does anybody know why the Laughing City version of telescope eyes is missing some of the verses from the original recording? i really like them alot and think they add alot to the song, albeit both versions are great. and by great i mean awesome. |

It's not missing; they were cut out of the song with skilled precision because it was too long, or something. I prefer the longer version because the story flows much better. Short version is like skipping pages in a book. |

yay,I love the original version as well You humor me today Calling me out to play With your telescope eyes, metal teeth I can’t be seen with you (you freak) 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 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 Dear Matthew, why can’t you see? You’re just not near enough like me With your telescope eyes, metal teeth I can’t be seen with you (you freak) _________________

yea, i like the longer version better. i don't like when songs a shortened... it's like the cliffs notes or the sparknotes of a song. you get the gist, but you don't get the whole thing. |

I like the new one better. But I like all of the old lyrics too. It's great song either way. But I like Noah too. _________________ "Christ is not a fashion fleeting away" -Josh Scogin (Norma Jean) http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=jacoblee1982 |

The version that appears on Laughing City EP was shortened and rearranged at the request of the producer of that version, Mr. Goodmanson. It was done in order to make the song shorter and more "radio friendly". In the Dallas market the song did receive considerable airplay....if the band re-records it, they've said they will reinstate the missing lyrics, and perhaps even the "jazzy bridge" that appears in the middle of the original version. |
