The Applicant (c/o Sylvia Plath)...

First, are you our sort of a person?
Do you wear
A glass eye, false teeth or a crutch,
A brace or a hook,
Rubber breasts or a rubber crotch,

Stitches to show something's missing? No, no? Then
How can we give you a thing?
Stop crying.
Open your hand.
Empty? Empty. Here is a hand

To fill it and willing
To bring teacups and roll away headaches
And do whatever you tell it.
Will you marry it?
It is guaranteed

To thumb shut your eyes at the end
And dissolve of sorrow.
We make new stock from the salt.
I notice you are stark naked.
How about this suit----

Black and stiff, but not a bad fit.
Will you marry it?
It is waterproof, shatterproof, proof
Against fire and bombs through the roof.
Believe me, they'll bury you in it.

Now your head, excuse me, is empty.
I have the ticket for that.
Come here, sweetie, out of the closet.
Well, what do you think of that ?
Naked as paper to start

But in twenty-five years she'll be silver,
In fifty, gold.
A living doll, everywhere you look.
It can sew, it can cook,
It can talk, talk , talk.

It works, there is nothing wrong with it.
You have a hole, it's a poultice.
You have an eye, it's an image.
My boy, it's your last resort.
Will you marry it, marry it, marry it.

If everyone on this forum wrote out the lyrics to just one song each you could have all the lyrics to all the songs in about 5 minutes! Then they are all here for us to share too. Someone could even gather them up and put them on the lyrics sites on the web. Shouldn't be too hard to organise. Here's my contribution to kick things off:

Song: What It Is
Album: Swagger

Watch these hands
Watch what they're doing
What is it?
They float around the neck like nervous birds
They circle the waist like sly torpedoes
Then they hike into the interior
You know how it is
You can be your enemy
Turns a sideways figure of eight
Oh we've each got our positions in this exchange of views
This oratory, this debate
You know, I think one of us should drink the other to tears

Well alcohol it composes to water
You know there's not much to it
The last part was nothing less than the same as the first
Your dark eyes, your blue eyes
Your dark eyes, your blue eyes
Oh memory's a house under rain
The morning was bright
I met your train
A haze of perception brought buildings closer and sounds from further away
I watched a kiss on private ground
And a phone box demolished by mistake

Just watch it explode

Yeah I know, I know, I know
He doesn't want you to speak
He's not sure if he even wants you to breathe
And if he says you're not gonna last a week without him
It's only what he wants you to believe
These lovers
You ask them to go, they won't come back
You ask them to stay, they won't go away
The morning was evening, train was a bus, it was dull, dull, dull
You've got something to tell me?
I can taste it
I can taste it
I know what it is

My cds a re back in England (I'm based in Switzerland!) and I only have the songs on my laptop and ipod. I remember the lyrics were printed on Swagger. Maybe you can double check these just to make sure I didn't mis-hear anything!

BTW you should find the applicant easily on the web as it is a well know poem by someone else

Chris

With most bands you can google the band name followed by "lyrics"
then cut and paste from the sites it throws up. The problem is the
BAs are too leftfield for anyone to have bothered writing them out
and putting them on the web. I did manage to find Love Come Round for
you though!

Good luck

I hope people get this as I don't think my last message worked or
it may
have been it wasn't very interesting!!

Since joining the 21st century and putting my aeroplanes stuff on
my ipod,
these new ipods have the capability of putting lyrics with the songs.

So my question is does anyone have any/some lyrics on a format I
can copy
from i.e word or text file, in order to save me typing it all out and
probably not seeing my wife for about 4 weeks!!

Thanks in advance

Jon

Something about the below post reminds me of the sleevenotes from

Hats off to Fiddlers Nightclub !
They put the ' Mean ' into the London version, I mean MEAN.
Drinking from Glass !!!?
It'll never catch on.

'Cracking' covers the gig. Even allowing for the vagueuries of
sound over
the tour, That band had That set verrry tight by Thursday.

Dunno whether it was being home, on the last of the tour, or just
inebriation, but Gerard was toss away between numbers.

The set patoir of the tour seemed to evaporate into a loose
jumble of
what
had been said before, then ripping into the most sublime
rendition of
whatever was on the menu.
At one point, perhaps reflecting the Merchandising Debate, the
last one
being from Swagger, this next one from Altitude, he mentioned
that both
were
available at the back of the hall.

' About time we got our fu*%ing act together '

Dry. Very Dry.

I caught the first, the last, and the MEAN one in the middle.
Pleased as punch about it , and the glow will last me a good few
moons.

Again ! Again !

Cracking gig. Good size crowd and devoted too. Band tight, song
selection
inspired. Except Cavaliers, which I like, but which did send a
lot of
folks
off to the bar.

But the big question is - who's the tall bloke who ALWAYS stands in
front of
me at Aeroplanes gigs? I'm not talking about a generic "just my
luck,
I
can't see a thing" sort of tall bloke - it's actually the same
guy. I
wonder what an Aeroplanes gig would be like without trying to peer
over
his
shoulder. The first time I saw them (at the Fleece) I had to
climb up
on
the fag machine to see the stage because this bloke was in front of
me.
Ever since, he's always there. Maybe he's here too.

So - are YOU the six-foot six bloke with greying hair who
delights in
unsighting us short-asses?

Note this down.

raise the roof
up n a down world
88 out
tree full of starlings
warhol's 15"
days of 49
jacket hangs
surreal thing
spitting out miracles
cavaliers pt 9
10,000 miles
... and stones
beautiful is
yr wn world
detectve song
breaking in my heart

This last with Catlow from Vancouver, Rodney Allen, and some guy
from
the
audience with a tamborine and a thick skin.

surreal thing a bit paint it by numbers

10,000 miles 100,000 times better than on Record Player

88 out splendid

detective song exhilarating

SO who are Sean and Bill who ;played the acoustic guitas on
Gideon
Coe's
BBC6 set: is it weird to promote a tour with players who
aren't on
it?
