am gonna post by my own translation from tmy recording. There are tapes going out to a few of you already so if you have any suggestions on these lyrics please post them to this list. I put in parentheses the lyrics that I don't think are correct, but that's what it sounds like to me:
can someone who has a copy of the athens show get in touch with me..i have a copy myself but im sure that someone out there will have a better quality one than me..id also be interested in some of the songs that i dont have that it seems others have (lonliness..etc) i dont seem to have much B&S stuff that no one else has but i do have a rather large live list..stuff like moz/smiths/pulp/suede and other bands..name a band and i can see if i have anything.. ok..ive listened to the song as well and in the [] will be what i think if it differs from yours:
Lord Ant(h)ony
(Hunting in beauty school, [Anthony, bullied at school] get your own bag) [get your own back] now you are cool [now you are cruel (cool?)] or are you still (jebunking off) though you're a tough [drunk enough] it's all gone wrong again you got to (hold hands)
But the teachers got no control Boys aren't lying You wont stay quiet [you will stay quiet] Or you will die
Returning, the back of the gym [Tony at the back of the gym] Smoke another one, the chances are slim, 'Cause here they come again They got you on the prowl You're tasting blood again At least it's your own
When will you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, Shut your mouth, start kicking the football, (Buy all new teeth) you were out for a week [bang on the teeth]
You may as well take it in the guts, it could get worse just take it in the guts, it could get worse just take it in the guts, it could get worse just take it in the guts, it kind of hurts there (to me)
You'll soon be old enough to leave the man Without a notion of a care You'll leave two fingers in the air (To me again) [to meager living??]
Tony, you bit of a mess (melt to) tow the rope under your dress [melted tolberone under your dress] But if the kids could see you they would pass you right by The mascara running over your eye
Why don't you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, Shut your mouth, start kicking the football, (Bang on a tear) you were out for a week [bang on the teeth]
They call you lord Antony (in pain) it could be worse [but hey] Lord Antony but hey it could be worse Lord Antony but hey it could be worse Lord Antony but hey it kind of suits you anyway
You'll soon be old enough to leave the man Without a notion of a care You'll leave two fingers in the air (To me again)
end
thats the best I can do
i dont know if the way i did this will make sense, rather than me just retyping, or if the computer will make it look rather funktified (we'll soon find out) roberta +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
