Across the Line is really good, loved that you could hear the bit seen on LPTV in the song. Fear is great, so is Drawing and Drum Song. Figure.09 and Faint were cool, it's neat to hear the evolution of two of my favorite LP songs. A-Six is so much better than the version we had too. Sad and Stick and Move were a little disappointing, but the CD is solid.

My Lord I had no idea I would have such an outcry! Literally like 200 people from the LP nation have contacted me since I initially told Mark I had it! That's cool.

 

I know my file is in .wma but you can get that file to work in iTunes, just drag the file over it will convert.

 

A-Six is definitely bad ass! Chester on Across the Line is great, I really like the style of the song. Fear is terrible, and yeah, who is that rapping with Mike?

LPU9 Complete Lyrics

Faint (demo 2002)

transcribed by LPPanther

 

Back, before I said goodbye,

Just as the first day turned to night,

Just as the concrete turned to dust,

And the steel turned into rust,

All I could think was I need a way to dig through the damage,

Couldn't think of a way to get through this,

Now I see you takin advantage,

And I found another reason to do this.

 

I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,

I wanna find a way to rattle you,

You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,

You're gonna have to follow me under it.

Let go, it's begun,

Close your eyes, I'm not done,

Breathe a word, and waste your breath,

And keep it up till there's nothing left.

 

Now, that I said goodbye,

Just as the darkness turned to light,

Just as the next light turns to day,

And the world gets underway,

All I can see is the anticipation,

Waiting to take this out on the wind and the raindrops,

And I waited patiently taking it in,

Ready for the first of the face offs.

 

I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,

I wanna find a way to rattle you,

You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,

You're gonna have to follow me under it.

Let go, it's begun,

Close your eyes, I'm not done,

Breathe a word, and waste your breath,

And keep it up till there's nothing left.

 

I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,

I wanna find a way to rattle you,

You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,

You're gonna have to follow me under it.

 

I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,

I wanna find a way to rattle you,

You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,

You're gonna have to follow me under it.

 

I'm diggin us a hole to travel through,

I wanna find a way to rattle you,

You wanna try to hear the thunder hit,

You're gonna have to follow me under it.

Let go, it's begun,

Close your eyes, I'm not done,

Breathe a word, and waste your breath,

And keep it up till there's nothing left.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Fear (Leave Out All The Rest demo 2006)

transcribed by LPPanther

 

Looked in the ocean,

Looked in the sea,

Found her laughing,

Watching for me,

Left the door open,

Left the door wide,

(unintelligible),

Kept it inside.

 

(Nonsense rapping)

Don't trust if you don't then you're fightin' for what?

 

Fightin' for a place,

We can call home.

Lookin' for a way,

Not be alone.

I'm fightin' for a place,

We can call home.

Lookin' for a way,

Not to be alone,

Not to be alone.

 

Duh nuh nuh,

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,

Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.

 

Duh nuh nuh,

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,

Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.

 

Duh nuh nuh,

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,

Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.

 

Duh nuh nuh,

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,

Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.

 

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.

 

Fightin' for a place,

We can call home.

Lookin' for a way,

Not be alone.

I'm fightin' for a place,

We can call home.

Lookin' for a way,

Not to be alone,

Not to be alone.

 

Figure.09 (demo 2002)

transcribed by LPPanther

 

All these things I could not say,

made me so much more afraid.

Just too scared of what I'd find,

to look behind, to look behind.

 

All these things I could not say,

made me so much more afraid.

Just too scared of what I'd find,

to look behind, to look behind.

 

If you go, there's no turning back.

If you go, there's no turning back.

If you go, there's no turning back.

there's no turning back!

 

No, no, no, no, no, no...

NOOOOO!

NO TURNING BACK!

NOOOOO!

NO TURNING BACK!

NOOOOO!

NO TURNING BACK!

NOOOOO!

NO TURNING BACK!

 

All these things I could not say,

made me so much more afraid.

Just too scared of what I'd find,

to look behind.

 

All of these things I could not say,

made me so much more afraid.

Just too scared of what I'd find,

to look behind, CAN'T LOOK BEHIND!

 

Across The Line

transcribed by nkramar

 

In this desert,

In darkness,

Lying with the gun across his chest.

Pretending,

He's heartless,

As the fire flashes in the sky.

He was fragile,

And frozen,

When the bullet took away his friend.

And now he's somehow,

More broken.

 

He's pulling his weapon to his side,

Loading it full of his goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

He's pulling his weapon to his side,

Loading it full of his goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

 

Sweating,

And shaking,

Lying with her hands across her chest.

She wakes with,

Her cravings,

As the fire flashes in her eye.

She was fragile,

And frozen,

When the needle took away her friend,

But now she's somehow,

More broken.

 

She's pulling her weapon to her side,

Loading it full of her goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

She's pulling her weapon to her side,

Loading it full of her goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

 

With every battle he's chosing,

With every fight he's losing,

His enemy's not far behind.

With every promise she's broken,

With every lie she's spoken,

Her enemy's not far behind.

 

It's your time.

It's your time.

It's your time.

It's - your - TIME!

 

He's pulling his weapon to his side,

Loading it full of his goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

He's pulling his weapon to his side,

Loading it full of his goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

 

She's pulling her weapon to her side,

Loading it full of her goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

She's pulling her weapon to her side,

Loading it full of her goodbyes,

Holding an enemy across the line.

 

With every battle he's chosing,

With every fight he's losing,

His enemy's not far behind.

With every promise she's broken,

With every lie she's spoken,

Her enemy's not far behind.

I certainly think NRL and ATL (love the acronym) could have and should have been in the album. They are much superior to tracks such as Valentine's Day, In Between, and such. Thing about both of those tracks are, they are very, very unique. I really, really enjoy the delivery of Chester's vocals on ATL. The bridge was a very pleasant surprise. But, they really sound nothing like LP's sound at all (which can be said for MTM in general, but those tracks certainly are on the boundaries).

 

Overall, this certainly is a bit overhyped but only because I thought we were getting more "polished" demos and not 50 second instrumentals and tracks with "donnas, donnas" on it. Those really just don't do anything for me. I'm not a fan of LOATR in the first place (for the most part) and I can already tell I'm in the minority, as I usually am around here, but Fear is not very good. Just don't like it. Drum Song either.

 

A-Six is just great though. Love it. Certainly sounds like it was going to be a legit song one day. The riff is mesmerizing. Faint is great, I certainly love the finished version better, but its cool. Wish there was more Chester on the demo. Figure is awesome, and Drawings is cool. Just wish there were more polished, more real vocals, and all the tracks were actual "songs."

 

I'm glad I could help out so many tonight though, I have talked to hundreds of you tonight! Sorry if I couldn't get to everyone, still working on a ton. Haha.
