MANY FUNERALS
Do you own your tricks? then trade
we lie here, here we lay you
and every ship is out to sea(or until they ship us out to sea)
i'm content to die peacefully

and all the dead are sea side born
my parents death did of here mourn???
the pride of the ????bound bride??????
????made us proud???
?to raise thy cup and (or to rains i cupped and fell around)
??????oooooooh oooooohh

oh and now we have no chances we fill empty caskets
and leave you with your tears
oh and now we take are chances
we all (or we wanna or we always)take our chances
before are lives end too

how could you
have left us here
you had friends
you had us
goodbye....

as you can tell i have no idea what they are singing


however, this is what i concluded:


Many Funerals

Bring you on your tricks and trade
We will lie here. Here we lay
Though this ship is out to sea
I’m content to die peacefully

And all the dead are sea side born
My parents stepped in of here mourn
And cried about thy Hades prompt
To raise thy cup and in for a whirl

Ooh oh oh

Oh and now we have no chances
We fill the empty caskets
And leave you with your tears.
Now we take out chances
We always take our chances
Before our lives end too.
No—


How could you
Have left us here?
You had friends; you had us.
Good bye.
Good bye
Good bye
Good bye
Good bye

'My parents death did I here mourn' I believe is what that line actually says.

Well this is what I hear from the clip

bring along your tricks and trades
we will lie here
here we lay
although the ship is out to sea
uncontent to lie peacefully

tall and dead both seaside born
my parents death did i fear mourn
they brought about the lady's crown
to raise my plucked unfertile ground

oh and now we have no chances (in the athens clip however it sounds clearly like "oh and now we take more chances")
we fill the empty caskets
and leave you with your tears
and oh now we take our chances (in other clip sounds like now we take more chances)
we ought to take more chances
before our lives end too
no

how could you have left us here
you had friends
you has us
goodbye x4

so it seems like some lyrics they are still working out or not used to or something but the words are different in the 2 clips. awesome song though

In the north virginia video, Sherri says the song is still rough but they're going to playit anyways....so it makes sense that they would mess with lyrics, I think. And upon analysis of the two performances available, I noticed a difference in the lyrics. so yeah..that makes this a little pointless, haha


Secondly, in that post, Boyd quotes "we all should take more chances..." which I don't actually hear, but hey who knows...

still, this is what I hear in the north virginia video

bring along your tricks and trade
we will lie here, here we lay
and though the ship is out to sea
i'm content to lie peacefully

and all the dead were seaside born
my parents death did I here mourn
my pride unbound by lady's prayer
to raise my cupped/plucked and furrowed brow
ooh, ahh, ooh

oh and now we have no chances
we fill the empty caskets
and leave you with your tears
and though, now we take our chances
we all will take more chances
before our lives went through
ohhh

and how could you
have left us here
you had friends

No No No No No No No
you're all wrong
this is how they go:

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me

I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket

[Chorus]
Beverly Hills - That's where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...
Beverly Hills - Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...

Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between

I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
Cause I'm the next big thing!

[Chorus]
Beverly Hills - That's where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...
Beverly Hills - Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...

[Bridge]
The truth is...I don't stand a chance
Its something that you're born into...
And I just don't belong...

No I don't - I'm just a no class, beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play

[Chorus]
Beverly Hills - That's where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...
Beverly Hills - Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...

DUH!

I think your lyrics sound the most accurate thus far, But what is this 'other' video you speak of?

I'm pretty sure it's the Athens Clip video located in the journals.
