Blaster Lyrics

[cowboy_buddha]

Does anyone have the lyrics up yet?  The album is really distorted and buried in the instruments.

[Stop That Pigeon]

I can scan it at work on Monday but loads of people will hopefully have it by then.

The lyrics are good with a few things we haven't heard before. There was a good thread way back about Scott's thing for dogs/Sundays/supermen etc. Some things that have jumped out now I can make sense of them are:

Modzilla - monkeys, buzzards
Hotel Rio - Hunter S Thompson
Blue Eyes - supermen
Youth Quake - John Coltrane
Beach Pop - The Monkees
Parachute - dog, monkey, alligator (nice to have that one back!)

I'm not reading anything specifically STP-related, unless Modzilla's "the soul you sold is less than a dollars' worth of fools gold" pertains to anything.

[STP92]

Hotel Rio - Hunter S Thompson

Thought I heard that in the lyrics and was a bit confused.

[IdahoSTPfan]

Hotel Rio-"troublesome nights and days became fear & Loathing ........like HS Thompson......"

[Blueman83]

Is there anybody out there who can be bothered to put the album lyrics up??? My Pledge Music download didn't include the artwork 

Cheers

[DankoJones]

What the hell is he rambling toward the end in Beach Pop? "LP, son of the WHO"

[andrew]

It's gonna take me a while, but here goes nothing.... I'm copying them directly off the sheet that came with the vinyl, and some of the words definitely aren't correct so we can all edit them together.


Modzilla
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black)
Oh yeah wait a minute
Here it goes again
Just a dealin' with the buzzards
Out in nowhere mans' land

Eat lies, eat stories
Now the truth be told
That the soul you sold
Is less than a dollars' worth
Of fools gold

So come one
Come all
'Cuz the circus back in town

It's a promisin' to give you anything
If you can keep it down

So strap on in, yeah
It needs to fill
'Cuz you're going on a ride
That will blow your mind
And shoot to thrill

Well I come my way
And I ain't going to no place I don't belong
Yeah you might call it grace
But I'm still riding and cussin'
Like a rollin' stone.

Oh yeah my Momma always said to me
To stay to stay away from freaks
And certain carnival disease
But they always seem to find a certain way back in my city
And they'll always tell you lies and make you feel so pretty

Now take a little minute of your second-hand watch
Just take a quick peek at all the stories being bought
Just a movin' and a groovin' now just for you
And if you wait a little longer
Then the monkeys fly too.

Well I come my way
And I ain't going to no place I don't belong
Yeah you might call it grace
But I'm still riding and cussin'
Like a rollin' stone.

So strap on in now
Time to meet the man
The man who's gonna take you for a ride

Hit it!

Oh yeah wait a minute
Here it goes again
Just a dealin' with the buzzards
Out in nowhere man's land

Eat lies, eat stories
Now the truth be told
That the soul you sold
Is less than a dollars' worth
Of fools gold

Well I come my way
And I ain't going to no place I don't belong
Yeah you might call it grace
But I'm still riding and cussin'
Like a rollin' stone.

Way She Moves
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black, Danny Thompson)

You got to be around the way she moves
And understand the words she uses
We like to feel the same and touch each other
Look each other in the eye

Ooh Ooh Ooh

The sandman's coming round
But she'll make him cry

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I sometimes just don't get the way
Understand it's about the way she talks
But all I wanna do is lover her
All I wanna do is watch the way she walks

Ooh Ooh Ooh

The sandman's coming round
But she'll make him cry

She's never coming down
When we're hangin' 'round
We can always be found
Even when there's nothing but sound
She's never coming down
When we're hangin' 'round
We can always be found
Even when there's nothing but sound

Since I met
No I never could have ever
Ever ever let her out of my mind
We like to feel the same and touch each other
Look each other in the eye

Ooh Ooh

The sandman's coming round
But she'll make him cry

She's never coming down
When we're hangin' 'round
We can always be found
Even when there's nothing but sound
She's never coming down
When we're hangin' 'round
We can always be found
Even when there's nothing but sound

Oh yeah yeah, yeah c'mon

She's never coming down
When we're hangin' 'round
We can always be found
Even when there's nothing but sound
She's never coming down
When we're hangin' 'round
We can always be found
Even when there's nothing but sound

C'mon c'mon yeah yeah

Hotel Rio
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black, Danny Thompson)

Talking' to a guy
Just the other day
He was lookin' for a dollar
And a place to stay

She says what she means
So she's understood
Yeah she's dressin' undercover
In the neighborhood

Got change then I found a booth
Keep waitin' for the man
In his lily white suit

Went to the lobby phone the other day
MI6 was on the line with the CIA

Do you believe this is our life?

Feels like we finally found a mission
And we still feel the same desire

I know we'll take it all the way now
As we run right through the fire
Still holdin' hands to beat the pain, yeah

Still arm in arm
Yet back to back
Side by side
All the way, yeah

Tropical nights and days became
Like fear and loathin'
Here in Rio
Like some H.S. Thompson game

As long as we're together
Do you like it this way?
Then she kissed me on the neck
And hasn't turned away

Talkin' to a dude
Just the other day
He was lookin' for a dollar
And a place to stay

She says what she means
So she's understood
Yeah she's dressin' undercover
In the neighborhood

Do you believe this is our life?
Feels like we finally found a mission
And we still feel the same desire

I know we'll take it all the way now
As we run right through the fire
Still holdin' hands to beat the pain, yeah

Still arm in arm
Yet back to back
Side by side
All the way, yeah

Do you believe this is our life?
Feels like we finally found a mission
And we still feel the same desire

I know we'll take it all the way now
As we run right through the fire
Still holdin' hands to beat the pain, yeah

Still arm in arm
Yet back to back
Side by side
All the way, yeah

See you soon
Maybe tomorrow
Who else knows the story
I'll see you soon
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe yesterday

You know the story well
All that crazy sorrow
Go

Amethyst
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Mike Avenaim, Tommy Black)

What I see with closed-up eyes
Don't believe it's a disguise
What I see with closed-up eyes
Don't believe it's a disguise

Look away
We gotta white light blinder
Come my way
You know I'll always find her

In about a second
Or a week or two
I gotta tell ya a lil riff
About what she can do

Half way home
But in the nick of time
I was taken by surprise
By this girl of mine

I can see why no one finds you waiting
I can't breathe so if you hear me sinking

Look away
We gotta white light blinder
Come my way
You know I'll always find her

In about a second
Or a week or two
I gotta tell ya a lil riff
About what she can do

Half way home
But in the nick of time
I was taken by surprise
By this girl of mine

I can see why no one finds you waiting
I can't breathe so if you hear me sinking

I can see why no one finds you waiting
I can't breathe so if you hear me sinking

What I see with closed-up eyes
Don't believe, it's a disguise
Looking back at all the wasted time
In the life, in the light

I can see why no one finds you waiting
I can't breathe so if you hear me sinking

I can see why no one finds you waiting
I can't breathe so if you hear me sinking

[andrew]

White Lightning
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black, Danny Thompson)

The time right now is nigh
We rollin' like the tide
It's time for you and I to begin this hillbilly tale

Lookin' for your number
She said well well well
Can't you feel me, baby
I'm a-standing alone all by myself

Ma and Pa mind it when
You move like a rebel who don't know whenever to back down
Or stand your ground

Lookin' for your number
She said well well well
Can't you feel me, baby
I'm a-standing alone all by myself

Never seen a jalopy like this
Flyin' across the bridge
He keeps a silver lining in his pocket
But don't know what it is

Lookin' for your number
She said well well well
Can't you feel me, baby
I'm a-standing alone all by myself

See you soon
Maybe tomorrow
Who knows the story
Maybe tomorrow

Lookin' for your number
She said well well well
Can't you feel me, baby
I'm a-standing alone all by myself

[andrew]

Blue Eyes
(Scott Weiland, James Iha, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black)

Ever since I met you, Blue eyes
Never thought I'd meet anyone like you

I'd given up on nowhere places
Dreamt enough of ugly faces

Lookin' through the phone book
Found your number
Don't know how I'd ever lose it

Never really spoke computer language
Always chose communication

And still I found you now
Could believe it
Never could've dreamed it

Brought my feet right off the ground
Get the feelin'
Never lose the feelin'

Your blue eyes never let me down
Keep the feelin'
Always keep believin'

Nothing could ever hold us down

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

All those silly supermen
Are they better than a nowhere man?
We've seen them come and go before
Even seen them fly right out the door

Really love my blue-eyed world
Gotta keep Ms. Blue Eyes happy too
No more games or cards on table
I know that we are more than able

And still I found you now
Could believe it
Never could've dreamed it

Brought my feet right off the ground
Get the feelin'
Never lose the feelin'

Your blue eyes never let me down
Keep the feelin'
Always keep believin'

Nothing could ever hold us down

Oh-oh-oh

Never gonna lose it
Never gonna lose it
Never gonna lose it
Never gonna lose it

Oh yeah!
Come on yeah!
Spit shine now!

And still I found you now
Could believe it
Never could've dreamed it

Brought my feet right off the ground
Get the feelin'
Never lose the feelin'

Your blue eyes never let me down
Keep the feelin'
Always keep believin'

Nothing could ever hold us down

[andrew]

Bleed Out
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black, Danny Thompson)

Tell me what to say, I say I love you
Tell me how to play, I learned to hate you

Tell me that I never will improve
Don't wanna spoon me
Tell me how to bleed
And I'll keep bleeding out

So is it you and me
You and me for real?
Say I can feel it

Tell me what to say, I'll learn to love you
Tell me how to play, I'll learn learn to hate you
Tell me that I never will improve or wanna spoon me
Tell me how to bleed, oh yeah and I'll keep bleeding out

Can't take it, Don't like it
Don't fake it, No, no lies
Can't take it, Don't like it
Don't fake it, No, no lies

So I got us two tickets to the show
So we can go, baby, go baby go
So is it you and me
You and me for real?
Say I can feel it

Tell me how to play,  I learn to love you
Yeah, yeah yeah....

Bleeding out

Youth Quake
(Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black)

Waitin' on the bat race fly about
Listenin' to Coltrane all sold out
Take us to the motorbike racing track
Put it into gear and you give it gas

Plug it in on the left side, let it charge
Bring it to the place
Where the youth quakes hard

Come back to the jam where it all went down
Hear it all the way from the beach to the town

Hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on
Take it to the east side and tear it down

Play it for the kids all dressed in black
Power up the volume and give it back
The westside girls meet eastside boys
Doesn't really matter if they bring the noise

Kickin' up the youth quake all around
Forget about the rest in this shambled town
So they all beat the test and they're better off for it

Hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on

Power up, power down
Straight to the point 'til it's broken down

Race at go and we lead the charge
We work all night and we play real hard
They pass go and foretold the rest
It was a dirty little lie better left unsaid

Soul desire still unmatched
Said we gotta keep it pure for the sake of it

Play it for the kids all dressed in black
Power up the volume and give it back
The westside girls meet eastside boys
Doesn't really matter if they bring the noise
