Yeah, I feel like while these clear up a couple lines that we never would have figured out otherwise (the "briar patch" line in Fuse comes to mind), there's kind of a regression in some other aspects. The lyrics for Reading My Eyes differ from the ones printed in the cassette liner notes in a couple places (which were correct except for like one word, if I recall correctly), and there's no way the lyrics to the Fuse chorus are right. "See what I can't be seeing" or "Say what I can't be saying," sure, but "Say what I can't be said?" No way, lol.

The liner lyrics are incorrect in at least two spots. For example, mike doesn't say "my rhyme top it" like the liner notes suggest. He says "my hand". There's also 'you cant hack it though' instead of 'and cant hack it though' like the notes suggest. Read the lyrics that were sent to me while listening to the track, they're definitely more accurate than what was printed on the tape. The liner notes made at least 2-3 mistakes.

 

Although that was definitely a boo-boo the band made on Fuse's chorus. Epic lulz.

I can't as there are some email addresses in there that are private, and not intended for the public. If the emails are needed to be seen for proof sake, Mark can give you all the verification you need that I'm not toying with anyone in this thread. I wouldn't mess with you guys like that. I legit only do these things (the lyrics, podcasts, interviews etc) to help the fans out. I merely do it out of loyalty to the fans since they're a big part of the reason LPA is still around after 15 years.

Haha it pretty much was "here you go" with an attachment. The attachment was an RTF file with the 'updated' lines underlined. Aside from that, pretty boring.

 

I wish it was more exciting, sorry if I disappointed you haha :lol:. No special info, nothing. Just 'here ya go'.

Yep! Thanks Derek for getting this done. It was literally a case of...I was interested in getting this done a few weeks ago for the Xero songs, Derek literally texted me out of the blue about Xero and coincidentally after a short chat, he said he'd get the lyrics handled ASAP for everyone.

 

Now time to take a look!

Can anyone help me out with lyrics for "The Endless Highway"?

So much time has been wasted

I don't want to be free
I'm just a young boy
Shaking on in this dream

 

????????????????????????????????
Does anybody here remember?

????????????????????????????????

????????????? I've been walking
????????????????????????????????
I just wound up on this endless highway
Can't get off of this endless highway, YEAH

 

????????????????????????????????
Does anybody here remember?
????????????????????????????????

Does anybody here
Does anybody here remember?

 

So much time has been wasted
I want to be free
I'm just a young damned boy
Shaking on in this dream

 

????????????????????????????????
Does anybody here remember?
????????????????????????????????

 

Does anybody here
Does anybody here remember?

Ah, yeah.

This is close. Might not be perfect, though.

 

 

Live from the genesis
Underline it for emphasis
There is no way to pretend
That we don't really know where the ending is
Part of me thinkin that
Even addressing it is being too generous
Do you really think that they'll
Notice when you get removed from the premises
And it makes you so mad
Somebody else could be stepping in front of you
And it makes you so mad
That I won't give you the respect that the others do
And you can't understand the fact
That it's over and done, hope you had fun
You've got a lot to discuss on the bus
Headed back where you're from

that sounds very demo-ish on paper

Ah, yeah.

These are the lyrics that I got from the song that I added to Genius:

 

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
So much time has been wasted
I want to be free, yeah
I'm just a young boy
Shaking on in this dream, oh yeah

 

[Chorus 1: Chester Bennington]
Where have I been?!
Does anybody here remember?!
Pour it all [?]
I've been here since, yeah

 

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
[?] I've been walking
Can't hear a [?], yeah
I just wound up on this endless highway
Can't get off of this endless highway!

 

[Chorus 2: Chester Bennington]
Yeah!
Where have I been?!
Does anybody here remember?!
Pour it all [?]
I've been here since

 

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
Does anybody here?!
Does anybody here remember?!

 

[Verse 3: Chester Bennington]
So much time has been wasted, yeah
I want to be free!
I'm just a young [?]
Shaking on in this dream, oh

 

[Chorus 1: Chester Bennington]
Where have I been?!
Does anybody here remember, well
Pour it all [?]
I've been here since

 

[Outro: Chester Bennington]
Does anybody here?!
Does anybody here remember?!
Oh yeah, oh yeah

 

[Chester Bennington]
Thank you

Can someone check the last sentence of the second verse in Standing In The Middle?

 

There's one word that I don't understand:

 

"Then I extend one finger, the middle so fuck off ..."

 

"..." - should be replaced with that word.

Here's what that lyric is on the song's page on Genius: "Then I extend one finger, the middle to fucking all crouds".

Probably not correct, if it comes from the censored version. If you will listen to the not censored version it's definitely:

 

"Then I extend one finger, the middle to fuck off ... ...".

 

with some missing 1-2 words.

Fuck off all critics is what I'm hearing, the something else!
