B-side lyrics decipherment - the PFAYM edition
YEAH!
I think I've got most but there's a few bits and bobs I struggle with. Don't have the vinyl b-side so can't do anything about that. INKY FINGERS Oh where are the young men Men of destiny Only intervention Can really set you free How can we put our faith In the United Nations When there's always someone With ink on their fingers The gospels, the swansongs The sick and the destroyed ??? ???? disguise ?? do your work ?? Sometimes justice can be sweet and so pure All the naive politic ink??? Hang your heads in shame Your guilt is paralysing From the colonial age Sanctions and speeches Melt like snow in your hands --- At the dictatorship The gospels, the swansongs The sick and the destroyed ?? ???? disguise ?? do your work ??? Sometimes justice can be sweet and so pure ENGAGE WITH YOUR SHADOW (yeah I know, you have to actually listen to this to get the remaining bits) Ein zwei drei vier fünf Disjointed echoes Hermetically sealed Refreshed and renewed In urban retreats ?? versions Of the London Eye So weak and ?? The unemployed Reserve your needs Boutique artisan Just as fake As your winter suntan Media streams Bluetooth songs Pixelisation Engage with your shadow Engage with your shadow Engage with your shadow Engage with your shadow Ein zwei drei vier fünf Get connected Join the conversation More and more Sad reflections The ??? signs Have been erected I'm so out of date I've been disconnected I've been disconnected Unlocking your true potential Unlocking your true potential... Megademocracies Lost loneliness I feel as useless As VHS Rebrand, reveal, refuse Rebrand, reveal, refuse Media streams Bluetooth songs Pixelisation Engage with your shadow... KISS MY EYES FOR ETERNITY Killing me softly with silence Shoot my eyes out just for fun Killing me quickly with ??? The cracking of an actor has begun Killing me slowly with torture The staring would scare any man Killing me like a queen bee supreme I'm being honest as I can Kiss my eyes for eternity And cover me blind And cover me gently Killing me slowly with torture The staring would scare any man Killing me like a queen bee supreme I'm being honest as I can Killing me softly with silence Shoot my eyes out just for fun Killing me quickly with ??? The cracking of an actor has begun Kiss my eyes for eternity And cover me blind And cover me gently Kiss my eyes for eternity There's so much pain So don't let me see You said I've decided to forgive everyone else The hardest thing to do is forgive yourself You said I'd love to forgive everybody else MIDNIGHT SUN (how can you tell this is an old track? the sheer undecipherability of Bradders' mumbling!) Arriving, unknowing Truth everywhere It's ??? the desire That makes you care Destroying, unloving The power is gone ?? knowledge That comes undone It all ends where it all began In the shadow of the midnight sun The shadow of the midnight sun The midnight sun Warm ??? sunrise White Sargasso sea (?????????) Time keeps us beneath While autumn sheds its leaves It all ends where it all began In the shadow of the midnight sun The shadow of the midnight sun The midnight sun

@StarBright
Would you have something against it if I used your transcript of "Inky Fingers" for my research and quoted some of the lines at a (linguistic) conference - marked as "deciphered by StarBright", of course ?

Anyone want a stab at The Passing Show? There's a couple of lines I'm stuck on. But for most of this post I thought he was going "Your parrot eyes are set to fall"!
The Passing Show In pursuit of all your dreams Your dreams You can't deny Those stifled screams Set the control to the centre of the sun There's no way of ever stopping us now I want you to sad rephrase/sacrifice? anymore Your paradise is set to fall To fall At least tell me something That feels like home Home Set the controls to the centre of the sun There's no way you're ever stopping us now I want you to sad rephrase? anymore I've always believed In higher taxation I've never been bitter Never blamed the taxman.
