 Post subject: LYRICS TO NEWEST SONGS...Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 5:06 pm 
I have to start this post by just saying...."my own kids blow me away". I hope that's ok with those of you who read these lyrics. I'm not just their mom...I'm also a huge fan, so I took the time tonight to listen with headphones to the songs recorded in LA that I can't wait for them to be finally available to the public,because they are absolutely beautiful. I don't know who wrote how much of each song, or if Sherri did most of the lyrics, but it is definitely some sort of collaboration. So, here you go: MEMORIES He was throwing grain into the ground below, ground below With dreary circles of his arm, going slow, very slow His cap pulled down roun' his ears to hide the smile and watery tears My loving wife is so wonderful how small seeds gracefully to grow into musical things that spring from these rows With their musical names and musical sound Dreary birds parade across the dreary sky, but down below the woman absent mindedly begins to sow, how she sows the seeds her husband loved so much, but he's no longer here with us But her life is so beautiful as memories continue to grow into musical things that spring from these rows With their musical names and musical sound Beautiful things that spring from these rows with their musical names and musical sounds, and musical sounds (Husband speaking) Distant tho I am orange, gold, and green firing, flaming, colors surround me (Wife) I'm always wondering where you are? I'm always wondering where you are? (Husband) Darling shouldn't I be the one wondering after all I am the one who is gone (wife) I was just wondering (husband) I was just wondering (wife) I was just wondering (husband) I'm the one...who is gone I'm the one...who is gone who is gone But, there's beautiful things that spring from these rows With their musical names, and musical sounds there's beautiful things that spring from these rows With their musical names, and musical sounds and musical sounds. |

It's a sure sign of a great deal of talent when the lyrics to your songs sound beautiful in their written form.. to think they'll sound even better when we get to hear them is something. Thanks for posting them!

Post subject: MARVELOUS THINGS Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 5:21 pm
MARVELOUS THINGS I awoke the dawn saw horses growing out the lawn ah ah ..... I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings oh what marvelous things ah ah.... Chorus: Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight my baby Morning light...shall burst bright and keep us here safely I followed a rabbit through rows that were made of twine shrubbery Ah ah.... Oh what marvelous things but, they are, they are, they are giving me the creeps Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight my baby Morning light...shall burst bright and keep us here safely Bridge Oh...lying in the sun everday feeling all of the magic in life and the wonder..... Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight my baby Morning light...shall burst bright and keep us here safely morning light...shall burst bright and keep us here safely Ah ah..... |

Post subject: THEY ALL SURROUNDED US Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 5:29 pm
THEY ALL SURROUNDED ME I gathered my thoughts and sat out on a trail into the woods, wearing sword and chainmale(sp?) I started to whistle and walk to the beat that my heart played constantly on repeat The nightfall was chilly, I slumbered right where I fell dreaming up adventures cause' I had none to tell Upon the morning, I woke with a start for the beasts had blackened the horizon They all surrounded me, they all surrounded me, that's when the giant dragon jumped over the hill and he said He said, "no, no, no, no, no, no way sir, no, no, no, no, no, not today sir, you won't surround me, you can't surround us." (repeats whole song then) Oh..... They all surrounded me... They all surrounded me... They all surrounded me... They all surrounded us... That's when the giant dragon jumped over the hill and he said He said, "no, no, no, no, no, no way sir, no, no, no, no, no, not today sir, you won't surround me, you can't surround us." |

Post subject: WINGS AND WINDOWS Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 5:39 pm
WINGS AND WINDOWS Call me addlebrain but, that's not really bad enough Call me lots of things but their not really bad enough for me Because you know that I left the window up I let your bird go I was the one who helped him escape I left the window up I let your friend go You won't believe that I am sorry Right before he left, he said he wanted happiness I said, "don't look too far" but that's not really good enough for you Because you know that I left the window up I let your friend go I was the one who helped him escape I left the window up I let your bird go and you won't believe that I am sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (bird) Oh, he won't,...he won't...own me Oh, he won't,...he won't...own me I left the window up I let your bird go I was the one I helped him escape I left the window up I let you friend go and you won't believe that I am sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry |

Post subject: TROLLY WOOD Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 5:57 pm
TROLLY WOOD Out one day walking one day out one day, with you hallelujah We found a wood with Trolly's on wheels rolling all around the hills Hallelujah and just as soon it had slipped into the sleepy dusk and it's not very likely that we'll see it a... we'll see it again Out one day walking one day out one day, with you hallelujah We found a wood and then we unfound a wood and then we cried, "Oh No" and, please tell me will we ever find again? In the depths of Trolly Wood Do trollies still drive? Gone for the day to the Trolly Wood I'm gone for the day to the Trolly Wood The Trolly Wood is taken me away Out one day walking one day out one day, with you hallelujah We found a wood and then we unfound a wood and then we cried, "Oh No" and, please tell me will we ever find again? In the depths of Trolly Wood Do trollies still drive? Gone for the day to the Trolly Wood I'm gone for the day to the Trolly Wood The Trolly Wood is taken me away (repeat verse again) Gone for the day to the Trolly Wood I've gone for the day to the Trolly Wood I've gone for the day to the Trolly Wood The Trolly Wood is taken me away So, out one day walking one day out one day with you hallelujah. |

Kim. Thank you so much for posting those! I can't even begin to explain how happy I was to see lyrics to Trollywood. Squee! I can't wait to hear those songs again... or in some cases for the first time.  _________________ "Jesus Shaves!" - Jamie |

Those are incredible. I feel so lucky reading these! Sherri is a wonderful Poetess...and the rest of the band! I can't wait until these come out. I'm so curious and at the edge of my seat. _________________ "What's with these homies dissing my girl?" - Weezer "I think I know I mean a yes but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree." - Beatles My Livejournal |

ive been wanting to know these songs for three weeks! i kept trying to sing Trollywood (because i really was out one day walking, for a few weeks) and it would have been the perfect hiking through the wisconsin woods backpacking tune... luckily though i could sing They All Surrounded Me... which also makes a good walking tune. yay for lyrics. especially eisley ones. |
