"The Tower" Lyrics
So....thoughts, anyone? I've seen a few different variations online, and suspect that they're all horribly wrong to some degree.
We are the wounds and the great cold death of the Earth
Darkness and silence, the light shall flicker out . . .

Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
aren't they all?
The first bit sounds like Bruce Wayne, and the second bit sounds like Batman.
Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
Ok here I go with the task
she weaps the flowers from the window box
some of these flowers numb into flocks
she lifts their veil till the morning rained
wipes eyes today sorry again
pairs of juicion morron her face
Ka isight she'll beclean the taste
she lowers the flowers from the window side
they fall to the ground
they fall to the ground
she weaps the flowers from the window box
some of these flowers numb into flocks
she lifts their veil till the morning rained
wipes eyes today sorry again
pairs of juicion morron her face
Ka isight she'll beclean the taste
she lowers the flowers from the window side
they fall to the ground
they fall to the ground

Hehehe. According to some, this could be:Ngie wrote: pairs of juicion morron her face
Ka isight she'll beclean the taste
Pearls of dew shimmer on her face
Cut inside she would dream to taste
or...
A thousand years shimmer on her face
Cut inside she redreams the taste
I think I give up.

Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
Actually, I'd deem this version correct to a large extent:
She lifts the flowers from the window box
Summer's fouled now winter flocks
She lifts her veil to the morning rain
Wipes her eyes to the summer again
Pearls of dew shimmer on her face
Cut inside she would dream to taste
She knocks her flowers from the window side
They fall to the ground they fall to the ground
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Now the woman in an aging form
She's tangled in the bushes tall
Cowering down with head in hands
She cries out loud, she cries out loud
Seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight.
Seems so cold, seems so cold tonight
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
She can't see visions of this force below
Freezes her life through...
She heads to the voice of this rainy day
And it cries like a choir in her mind to stay
It's Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head
Dream a cloud put out the fire which is your bed!
She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
And it cries How fun! But oh so slow...
Just living, like a dreamless child with hatred
Just living, like a dreamless child with hatred
She's never been quite as cut by life before,
Never been cut by way of life before
Hide away from the raging sun,
You hide your love from the fire beyond
She can't see visions of this force below
Freezes her life through...
She heads to the voice of this rainy day
It cries like a choir in her mind Just stay!
Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head
Dream a cloud put out the fire which is your bed
She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
And it cries Now fun! but oh so slow... but oh so slow...
BTW, ever listen to "The Tower" by Julian Cope, from his Jehovahkill album? Brilliant song as well.

Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
Mugabe, I like your lyrics. They make new sense to me
"Its one side of it. Lets say...hmmm...lost of innocence.
Fallen Angels?"
Oui Self K for both the SHE side of it and for the Fallen Angels one!
We all come down... everybody's got to leave their wings eventually, others their fish tail Ha! Ha! Ha! I've got it at last: the key origin of the fish story, haven't I ?
too short on that sock puppet top for dread locks
-repeat again and again with acceleration

Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
no need for acceleration or wb dlocks;
mr tooreal MC just wants to slow down:
” And it cries Now fun! ”
An question raises or couple of participation
”dream to taste ” in an aging form”
Not a mermaid story, i`m afraid – K13
...(delated)...or pseudoreligion christian myth or/and
a dissociative process.

Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
"No fun! No future " was for the single and lonely one in the eighties.
I prefer your version with double you:"NOW FUN then ! Now future!
I have a question about the use of CUT with which I'm not familiar in English. What does "cut inside" mean?

She lifts the flowers from the window box
Summer's flown, now winter flocks
She lifts her veil to the morning rain
Wipes her eyes to this sun again
Pearls of dew shimmer on her face
Cut inside, she regained a taste
She knocks the flowers from the window side
They fall to the ground, they fall to the ground
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Now the woman in an ageing form
She's tangled in, the bushes tall (?)
Cowering down with head in hand
She cries out loud, she cries out lound
It seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight
It seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
She can see visions of this force below
Freezes her life, here in Gaol
She heads to the voice of this rainy day
And it cries like a chior in her mind, just stay
Sister, hold now, hold now, hold your head
Dream a cloud, put out the fire which is your bed
She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
Her cries now thundered, but oh so slow
Just living, like a dreamless child with hatred
Just living, like a dreamless child with hatred
She's never been quite as cut by life before
Never been cut by the weight of life before
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
She can see visions of this force below
Freezes her life, here in Goal
She heads to the voice of this rainy day
And it cries like a chior in her mind, just stay
Sister, hold now, hold now, hold your head
Dream a cloud, put out the fire which is your bed
She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
Her cries now thundered, but oh so slow
but oh so slow
but oh so slow
but oh so slow!

Re: "The Tower" Lyrics
I guess dreaming more than a cloud would be mostly welcome this hottest summer of all.. Growing old bones are not for the cold however.
