      How could I take it that long

      I was lost like a Cork on the ocean

      It made me floating along

      I was free but I had no motion

      Life is pure magic when you

      Finally get it right

        So, no chance with the Tiger so far, but a offer for The Waiting Game:

        (Will tell to?)

        The wasted years

        They hope that it would mean something more

        Pleasant treats

        The wasted words

        The waiting game we play for so long (now, here?)(so lonely?)

        Tonight go gently(?) to the world(?)

        Wish you kissed the tired (?)

        Love will be mine

          Riding the Tiger

          The faces that I thought I’d seen

          and all the things she said.

          The places I knew I’d been

          were all inside my head.

          That screaming from ..?

          Though storming ..? from cities all ..?

          And it just got started, now the walls come tumbling down.

          Theres’ no doubt about it, revolution just in time.

          As the wheels are turning, I sign up for another round.

          And it just got started, revolution just in time.

          as the wheels are turning, I sign up for another round.

          Round and around, round and around.

          Round.

            The Waiting Game

            The time (it?) took

            The wasted years

            The hope that it would mean something more

            The pleasantries

            The wasted words

            The waiting game we played for so long

            repeat x 2

            Tonight would you plead to the ..?

            Wish you’d kissed the ..?

              TRaktorbass: I think you got Riding the Tiger there. But that second verse is hard to get a grasp on! I’ve tried!

              Well…with a few words missing, i think we’ve got all of them now!

                @GBD: Yeah, its really tough to hear what they’re saying. Same with the last part of the waiting game, garbled voices.. If you could gather all the nearly finished lyrics in the first post, we have a winner :)

                  @TraktorBass: Ok there we go. Still alot missing, but we’ll get there. By the way. I took a crack at the second verse of Riding The Tiger. Check if you agree. Sounds close enough atleast :)

                    Ozzylot seems right to me!

                    In “Riding the tiger” I don’t hear “within” in the line “

                    Through a storm in the sky within us”.

                    In “Whole lotta diana” I think it’s

                    “Is your point still valid, voice still clear, do your words still rhime?”

                    Cornucopia also seems right to me, except that difficult first line which is hard to hear.

                    Mr Victim is difficult..

                    The Waiting Game (my favorite on the album!!) seems pretty spot-on. Good ol’ Livingroom Bent :)

                    Child of the future also seems to be good.

                    i think it’s “dope dealer give us hope”? or dope?

                    I remember when they played it live in 2006, it was pretty different.

                    Bent sang something like this (at least at Blæst october 2006):

                    stargazer holding fort

                    what do you see?

                    stars are so far away

                    shining so bright

                    go find your lucky one

                    … this life..?

                    chorus: i don’t know, but it’s not “child of the future”

                    something like “answers (are) so tight/tired”

                    BTW: COTF is the first MP album to actually have a song named the same as the album, since Demon Box and Soothe. Another nod back to their roots perhaps?

                    Nice to get some words. I always heard “Stoneage lesbo” at the start of ozzy. I obviously knew it was wrong, but i couldn´t help hearing it nontheless. pretty irritating.

                      This line:

                      “……” free for all and all for the blow!

                      I hear as

                      “Three little piggies free for all and all for the blow”

                      and this:

                      “………………” get with the program, with the flow

                      I think starts with

                      “Shame on” but I can’t tell what they sing before “program with the flow”

                      In cornucopia, the first line

                      Cold “in Saturnine” (makes no sense) or “Inside your 9”

                      could be

                      Caught inside her night

                      but it’s really hard to tell..

                      Hey, new here, just had to have a go at diana:

                      Did you really think you had it in you all this time

                      Is your –vote– still valid, voice still clear, do your words still rhyme?

                      “are your…………………………..is your…………………..sublime”

                      Sticks and stones and broken bones, just “steal the night”

                      You don’t matter, No you don’t

                      You’re just a “once was”. Move on

                      –shape up and go– get with the program, with the flow

                      Just a “has been”, you really should know

                      It’s a filthy habit, hard to break but tougher to keep

                      But the other choices haunt your dreams and steal your sleep

                      If it’s one for the money, then it’s two for the show

                      –three little piggies– free for all and all for the blow!

                      You don’t matter, No you don’t

                      You’re just a “once was”. Move on

                      –shape up and go– get with the program, with the flow

                      Just a “has been”, you really should know!

                      __

                      Also, I hear “he knows, he sees” in the end of mr.victim, where the first poster was unsure.

                      ___

                      Line number three is a stone in the shoe, can`t get my mind wrapped around what he is singing there.

                      So guess the only thing I brought that is new is the words “shape up and go”?

                        Well anything is better then nothing :) I think you’re right about the Diana addon, but the Three little piggies line….i dunno….that’s not what i’m hearing.

                        Yeah and welcome to the club! You came late, but you came good :)

                          I definitely hear “three little piggies”, but I could be mistaken. I guess you’ve hear of “Excuse me while I kiss this guy…” hehe. But “three little piggies” fits.. cause it’s one, two, three, if you get my point. (“one for the money, two for the show, three…” etc.

                          “Shape up and go” could very well be right in Diana.

                          I think Bent should provide us with the correct lyrics!

                            Indeed! Abit irritating that he stopped doing so. But on the other hand, perhaps he wanted us to get together and figure them out ourselves like this :) Who knows…

                            Anyway….gonna listen again, but i still don’t hear those piggies!
