    Hi all!

    I'm sort of collecting MP lyrics here and there in the net, and there's a lot of blank spaces around.

    95% of the early production (up to IALC) is covered by the Bent himself here in the site. And that's awesome.

    Three other albums (Black Holes Blank Canvas, Death Defying Unicorn, Here Be Monsters – And Here Be Monster 2 too!) have lyrics on their sleeves, and that's great.

    Most of the remaining material have been decrypted by some people quite good at understanding English, probably some of you northern psychonauts who are taught English when you're children.

    But I'm Italian, and though I've studied and used and talked English for decades, my vocabulary is still not rich enough to understand all the deliriums sung by the Bent and Snah.

    I tried. And I'm sharing you some very poor results just as an encouragement for someone who's smarter than me to fill in the blank and correct the ugly attempts I made on some lyrics.

    If you'll submit your versions, I'll update my post. Thanks in advance to whoever will cooperate!

    President Block (Stenøien)

    Helge's singing is a mess. So I referred to the cleaner original Epinastic Movements version that you can find on Spotify, even though I'm sure that MP's version have some different words

    All the time in the president block

    I was feeling alone in this (securing van)

    (???) noise from the depths of my mind

    Searching in a field what I find

    Did one thing that I knew it would hate

    Still justice is based in someone’s other way

    I am mad but I’m fixed and went bad

    Learning for the freedom that I had

    And I am riding down the interstate

    In a car that isn’t mine

    I’ll fly like bridges over waters

    Free from (?) and what I’ll find

    All the time in the president cell

    I was conned but still able to communicate

    With a part of my body and my mind

    Wishing I was juggling……….. mind

    I have terror and killing in my face

    Those scum is well willing to cooperate

    And a Christian (?) deal that I have done

    Wishing that I haven’t missed around

    And in the early morning I will laughter

    As the sun stands up

    And smile and smelling glory feelings

    Watching echoes full of crap

    And I should’ve done a better job in

    Finding freedom

    And I should’ve killed those bastards

    Since I’ve got the time

    All the time on the execute block

    I can feel all the time running out from me

    In a way I’m perfectly dwell

    Knowing that’s there’s no get (?)

    (Chorus)

    (Bridge)

    (Here in the) rain and feeling the wind blow

    Shutting my eyes in search for one chance

    That I’ve never got in my life

    I'm quite clueless on most of these lyrics, all you will read is just something that sounds in my ear…

    The Matter with Her

    This one is 90% done by Rolf!

    Super-Sister understands

    All that makes this wonder-man

    Try to be who you can be but share it with me some

    Wonder worlds and daydream land

    (Should he take and win again???)

    And hold it for a while but then she took a fall

    She mesmerized (?)

    She took our guilt upon herself and burn

    I didn’t know I didn’t see any of

    That the matter with her was

    She soldiered on while we still slaved

    Back while the road was truly paved

    With good intentions by a heart (???)

    No one really asked for it

    I couldn’t blame myself one bit

    I didn’t know (???) what I thought

    Oblivious to the fall to mesmerize us all

    She took our guilt upon herself and burn

    (Chorus)

    Was me

    When the World Sleeps (Sæther)

    When the world sleeps quiet sleeps

    Keeps me awake

    When the world sleeps I’m awake again

    You’re not…..

    ?

    ?

    I’m so ….. now you shell

    Can sustain yourself against….

    When the world sleeps

    Black W’abbit (The Alabama Kids)

    She has sleep see ….

    Well he say you can rock and roll success

    They say it’s just a matter of…

    And it gets you surprise to us

    At night when I sleep I see the colors

    I hear them…. outside

    ….. and never stops

    But money that care we all like money huh

    And I’ll believe in that bullshit

    Now I’ve seen that the world….. before him

    And the black w’abbit tell him home…..

    Instead of…….

    (Chorus)

    They only repay you….

    AADAP DELUXE EDITION OUTTAKES

    Caterpillar (Ryan / Sæther / Øien)

    Wrong and meaningless

    I wouldn’t cut on that it’s a lasting thing again

    These hum offences winding on the final frame

    My film was clouded by

    Your tainted wear

    The seasons breathing odor (?) clear

    Day all of initial

    Retreats as the tireless who trusts perfectly

    Something seems to stole away

    Just cross the terms somewhere down there

    (Chorus)

    Push to valor and I’ll pull a stray on you

    Relaxed and blissful would I tell now what to do

    Makes no difference if you lose to flam

    Will the (?) understand

    WALKIN' WITH J EP

    Bent once said "I'll ask Gebhardt for the lyrics", but then never happened…

    Junkfood Mailbomb (Gebhardt)

    Big contributions by Rolf

    I saw nothing I saw everything and all

    Laughed at everyone but it wasn’t fun at all

    Junkfood mailbomb

    Shouldn’t do what I have done

    Junkfood mailbomb

    I can’t escape what I’ve become

    Wiped out everything made it nice and clean for all

    But there was no one no one made it through the fall

    (Chorus)

    So I’m (confusional) for a while

    So I can take it with a smile

    Captain Geebheart (L: Gebhardt; M: Sæther / Ryan / Gebhardt)

    When I see other people do

    It doesn’t look like me and you

    It doesn’t even mean a thing to me

    When I hear other people see

    It makes me wanna go away

    It doesn’t even mean a thing to me

    And when I try to be myself and anybody offer self

    It doesn’t even mean a thing to me

    As long as I can be with you I can be a nice guy too

    It doesn’t even mean a thing to me

    And if it’s raining cats and dogs

    Anywhere cloathing tons of coats

    It doesn’t even mean a thing to me

    KR-3 (Gebhardt)

    Total nonsense here, I actually don't understand a word…

    In exception like Seattle

    We will look away the way I was

    Lyrics of the manor to blame

    Service as the jail in my saloon

    (????????)

    However bloody pilling left my ceiling

    In ash nobody seem to read

    (??????????)

    Silver needles share all sparkles

    Blurred stars and tons of martyrs

    Poly biscuits running stitches

    Burning wishes almost fixing

    There should be enough

    SERPENTINE EP

    Fade to Grey (Sæther / Ryan)

    Someone arrive today

    The city’s alight when I’m on her interplay

    The girls they all seem to glow

    When the gold of the sun ain’t the brilliance of rainbow

    I don’t need no (?) no loneliness

    I wish that he would stay

    June in my heart till the end of May

    May he never fade to grey

    Will arrive at (?) sprayed

    Will (???) by the end of the day

    ? my dogs and hits

    Mining for (document???) between the sheets

    (Chorus)

    Dream away wake up to your headache

    Capture her I know I’ll never fade to grey

    Bonny Lee (Sæther)

    Great contributions by Rolf

    I know you think you know me

    Or who I might have been

    I know where I’ll be standing

    When the saints come marching in

    Nothing comes from judgment this all is always free

    Nothing’s all I’ve been left with

    When I’ve paid my lawyer’s fee

    I used to be a player you’ve seen me once or twice

    I’m more than just the reruns

    And a face on the merchandise

    I fought all pretenders I never took a die

    I have my share of bad rates but hey I’m still alive

    I didn’t do it I didn’t do what they claim

    I can never play that game

    Now Bonny liked my money Bonny dug the play

    Everyone liked Bonny ‘cos Bonny like to swing

    Bonny was a teacher Bonny liked …..

    Bonny had a mouth on her drive any man insane

    I swear it’s all hearsay I don’t have explained

    Never pretending never this hard

    Never forgotten never (???)

    I.C.U. (Boinganoid) (Sæther / Ryan / Kapstad)

    Seeking silence breaking from the storm

    Seeking shelter from the noise

    Finding anger finding pain finding nothing said again

    There’s no real difference ‘tween (?)

    And so (?) to your point of view – I see you

    Be a stoic be a dream be the diver in the sea

    Catch a fever catch the sky catch the world if you try

    I see you

    THE MOTORPNAKOTIC FRAGMENTS

    I really spent few time here, I didn't even try to make sense of the verses. So you'll find mostly wrong stuff…

    The Jig Is Up (Kiss the Snake) (Sæther)

    Hey man the jig is up

    (???) will not see no empty head

    For you the jig is up

    We have no turn with anything that it gets slow

    So now that the jig is up

    It’s when (?) behind the (?) in the glow

    ‘cos now the jig is up

    I think you only have a word misunderstand

    Waiting I ain’t got love or fear

    Waiting I hope that someone cares

    So now the jig is up

    My head explaining and see (????) mouth

    Oh yeah the jig is up

    And nothing now can save me…………

    Saving I will not know your eyes

    (?) in heaven …..

    (Chorus)

    So now the jig is up

    How does it feel to know you failed and missed too late

    As (?) has truly said

    (Chorus)

    Mockingbird (Sæther)

    Don’t believe a single word

    Never mind what you have heard

    I sort of (?) never true

    And breaks (????)

    But only lies will never sue

    His (?) warning hymn

    I’m almost always blind

    But in the morning hymn

    This desert really ……..

    So don’t believe a single word

    ‘cos I cannot (???) the mockingbird

    My words are nothing true when the sunlight lies to you

    But if I told you ……..

    His (?) warning hymn

    I almost never heard

    But in the morning hymn

    This desert really ……..

    (Repeat 1st verse)

    My words are nothing true when the sunlight lies to you

    I sing so I can dream for you

    Cannot (???) the mockingbird

    One Way or Another (Sæther)

    With contributions by GBD

    I would show no man no push over one way or another

    And I would show them I won’t take it laying down

    One last time

    ‘cos I have had as much as I can take

    And one way or another

    I would show that I’m no loser and no clown

    One last time

    ‘cos if I don’t it won’t ever start

    Pushing pulling down

    It’ll never end and never be enough

    Pushing me this way pulling me that way

    Tearing me down

    I never thought that it could go this far

    One way or another

    The grind ground on and somehow raised the bar

    One more time

    It’s not too late there’s still some fight left in this hound

    In one way or another

    I left my leg and widdle on your playground

    One last time

    (Chorus)

    Forget It (Sæther)

    I keep my shoulders elevated

    High strong I will (????) high

    You always act as you’re sedated

    Sometimes it makes me wanna cry

    Forget it no one wants to know

    Forget it just can’t stand (???) soul

    Forget it find some other way

    Forget it

    But it’s never quite as rigid as they say

    When the time you took get tracking

    They’re like me impatient but up-tied

    Why don’t you do your self-(?)

    Done through unless you do it right

    Forget it no one wants to know

    Forget I just (???) when it’s small

    Forget it find some other way

    Forget it

    But it’s never quite that rigid anyway

    I’m calling different dispositions

    I say fast when you say slow

    But if we don’t get stuck in other sessions

    We’ll get fine whichever way we go

    Forget it I don’t really wanna know

    Forget it just get (???) when it’s (???)

    Forget it we’ll find some other way

    Forget it

    It’s never quite as rigid as they say

    Cutie in Decay (No Parachute) (Sæther)

    Lots of corrections by Rolf

    He pulled his pants down in despair

    Checked to see if all was there

    He felt so neutered by those words

    Maybe maybe he misheard

    He knew it wouldn’t be no way so much scored

    But then one day the blinds were drawn

    I started sitting (???) through

    Doesn’t matter what you too

    The man said it’s all in your head

    If you wake up then you’re dead

    Chill your eyes

    This cutie in decay withstand and look away

    In the end it doesn’t matter anyway

    It’s so hid in there effervescent (???)

    Of selfish hollow caress

    When you wake you know it’s fake

    And when the circus tent’s in town

    You turn you up and they turn you down

    And nothing less than overpaid

    (At least you get to do it again in a day)

    Chill your soul

    Make sure you leaves us (scary?)

    If you drown (????)

    (???) remember just how beautiful (???)

    So take these senses please calm down

    Try this gruesome everywhere

    It doesn’t matter what you do

    In the end it all could talk to you

    So dream sweet (???) from everyone

    (chorale)

    (chorale)

    Build (???) ever sing a song

    (chorale)

    (chorale)

    Whiskey and Rock ‘n’ Roll (Sæther / Ryan / Borten / Rocket / B)

    You give me whiskey I’ll play guitar

    You take my picture and you tell me I’m a star

    I’ve never worried I know my part

    My special talents always getting to the arms

    I’m ever rocking I rock and roll

    My funky music makes you (?) lose control

    I always (?????) when I hear that call

    ‘cos I’m a (???) sucker for that whiskey and rock and roll

    I dance with demons I play with rust

    You never meant (????) to get enough

    Down in your (???) this boogaloo

    As if this (???) has whiskey and rock and roll

    Come on let us (????)

    Hey this unreachable fame

    Gets much to my guitar and may (???) sing

    When I start drinking I get drunk

    And when I’m dazing then I wanna play some funk

    I gotta (???) you know my love

    You know for sure will make it and never fake it

    You know will nights flow

    With whiskey and rock and roll

    Future of Our Nation (Ford)

    Everywhere see despair

    People what’s the future of our nation

    Look around we’re going down

    What happened to our jubilation

    If we’re strong we will force (????)

    There is no time for hesitation

    What is the future of our nation

    Every day in every way politicians give solutions

    But in my mind I know it’s time

    (To be the future institutions)

    Just wait for me…….. (?????)

    (Chorus)

    All a while we try to (???)

    We can tell …. (????)

    (???) today (???) we better pray today

    Someone will come to protect us

    Just wait for the …….

    (Chorus)

    (Repeat 1st verse)

    (Chorus)

    Dominoes (Ryan / Sæther)

    Lots of corrections by Rolf

    You found me when I was an open rose

    When I was yours for the taking

    Well my defenses they came tumbling down

    You put an end to all my (???)

    No one will say it

    But everybody knows

    Down they came tumbling

    Like falling dominoes

    I gave you everything that I could give

    I loved you like I’ve loved no other

    Oh in a sparkle they came tumbling down

    When you went looking for another

    (Chorus)

    HAVE FUN!

      I posted my take on "One way or another" some time ago. Think it's pretty much right ->

      One way or another

      I will show them i'm no pushover

      One way or another

      And i will show them, i won't take it laying down

      One last time

      Cus i have had as much as i can take

      And one way or another

      I will show them i'm no loser and no clown

      One last time

      Cus if i don't it won't ever stop

      Pushing, pulling

      It'll never end and never be enough

      Pushing me this way, pulling me that way

      (Pushing, pulling)

      tearing me down

      I never thought that it could go this far

      One way or another

      The grind ground on and somehow raised the bar

      One more time

      It's not too late, there's still some fight left in this hound

      And one way or another

      I'll lift my leg and widdle on your playground

      One last time

      Cus if i don't it won't ever stop

      Pushing, pulling

      It'll never end and never be enough

      Pushing me this way, pulling me that way

      (Pushing, pulling)

      tearing me down

      If i don't it won't ever stop

      Pushing, pulling

      It'll never end and never be enough

      Pushing me this way, pulling me that way

      (Pushing, pulling)

      tearing me down

        I'm like you, always trying to figure out the lyrics! Here are some attempts to correct/improve:

        Cutie in Decay (No Parachute)

        Checked to see if all was there

        Dominoes

        You found me when I was an open (rose?)

        When I was yours for the taking

        Well my defenses they came tumbling down

        You put an end to all my (aching?)

        No one will say it / is saying

        No one will say it

        Everybody knows

        Down it comes tumbling

        Like falling dominoes

        The Matter With Her

        Super-Sister understands

        Only makes this wonder-man

        Try to be who you can be, but share it with me some

        Wonder worlds and daydream land ….

        She took …..

        And hold it for a while but then she took a fall

        She mesmerized ……

        She took our guilt upon herself and ….

        I didn’t know

        I didn’t see any of

        The matter with her

        but she soldiered on while we still slaved

        Back while the road was truly paved

        Oblivious to the (fall?)

        To mesmerized us all

        She took our guilt upon herself and ….

        I didn't know

        I didn't see it

        That the matter with her was me

        (chorus x2)

        Junkfood Mailbomb

        I saw nothing

        I saw everything and all

        Laughed at everyone

        But it was no fun at all

        Junkfood mailbomb

        Shouldn’t do what I have done

        Junkfood mailbomb

        I can’t escape what I’ve become

        Wiped out everything

        Made it nice and clean for all

        But there was no one

        No one made it through the fall

        (Chorus)

        So I go fishing(?) for a while

        So I can take it with a smile


        And a couple of personal favorites:

        The Afterglow

        So the wheel has turned again

        And we're left here at the end

        Of something that was bigger than us all

        The old god has stepped down

        A king passed on his crown

        And left us tumbling in free-fall

        Nothing fills the void that we are facing

        No one's gravity is as strong

        And here we are spinning

        Farther apart as we were clinging

        To the memories we still share

        It's never just an end

        But it's not easy to transcend

        An entire lifetime and its weight

        The memories will last

        But the hole is just too vast

        Truly too big to negate

        A place is empty at the table

        Unanswered questions pile up on the floor

        And that former alliance

        Yields only the silence

        That we break as we learn to crawl

        Smaller than we were

        This math is all that were (?)

        We need more strength to hold the fort

        So be with us if you can

        We lack a holding hand (?)

        We need all your kindness as it were

        The things that you taught us

        About things in the cosmos

        It's time that we learn to walk

        Ghost

        Please understand it doesn't matter

        'cause right now you don't exist

        You have no place, you have no purpose

        And you're never ever missed

        I hope that you're flattered

        You've picked the scab off the sore

        So utterly worthless

        It's a hollow point that you score

        It's a high stakes game you're running

        But I'm not playing any more

        It's just endless repetition

        And I have heard it all before

        I see you've found a good companion

        I think you got what you've deserve

        I understand and I no longer worry

        You've got a brand new master to serve

        Let's stop feeling guilty

        I'm too tired and I'm closing the door

        I hope that you're happy

        'cause I'm not (here?) I'm sure

        (I really love you any more ???)

          I know you think you know me

          Or who I might have been

          I know where I'll be standing

          When the saints come marching in

          Nothing comes from judgment

          The soul is always free

          Nothing’s all I’ve been left with

          When I've paid my lawyer's fee

          I used to be a player

          You've seen me once or twice

          I'm more than just the reruns

          And a face on the merchandise

          I fought all pretenders

          I never took a die/dive

          I've had my share of bad rates

          But hey, I'm still alive

          I didn’t do it

          I didn’t do what they claim

          I can never play that game

          Well Bonny liked the money

          Bonny dug the …

          Everyone liked Bonny

          Cause Bonny like to swing

          Bonny was a teacher

          Bonny liked the …

          Bonny had a mouth on her

          drive any man insane

          I swear it’s all hearsay

          I don’t have explained (?)

          Never pretending

          Never this …

          Never forgotten

          Never ….

          @GBD: Thanks a lot, our versions were really similar, I'm happy to see that my English is not totally rubbish! :)

          @Rolf: great, your contributions are really brilliant! I've taken 90% of them, and kept 10% of my interpretations. You solved me some puzzles!

            An update to my take on this one:

            The Matter With Her

            Super-sister understands

            Only makes this wonder-man

            Try to be who you can be, but share it with me some

            Wonder-worlds and daydream-land

            She took my wheel in hand

            And held it for a while, but then she took a fall

            She mesmerized us all

            She took our guilt upon herself and (broke?)

            I didn’t know

            I didn’t see

            That the matter with her was

            She soldiered on while we still slaved

            Back while the road was truly paved

            With good intentions by a (hard to beg?) for a ride

            No one really asked for it

            I couldn't blame myself one bit

            I didn't know … what I thought

            Oblivious to the fall

            She mesmerized us all

            She took our guilt upon herself and (broke?)

            I didn't know

            I didn't see

            That the matter with her was me

              Update to my take on Cutie in Decay, not perfect, but I think this makes more sense:

              Cutie in Decay (No Parachute)

              He pulled his pants down in despair

              Checked to see if all was there

              He felt so neutered by those words

              Maybe maybe he misheard

              He knew he wouldn’t be/feel no way so much scorn [yes, scorn]

              But then one day the blinds were drawn

              The storm in zenit was so true (??)

              It doesn't matter what you do

              The man said it’s all in your head

              And if you wake up then you’re dead

              Shield your eyes

              This cutie in decay understand, but look away

              In the end it doesn’t matter anyway

              It's all meaningless,

              effervescent, don't make sense

              …. selfish hollow caress

              When you wake/wait you ….

              And when the circus tent's in town

              They build you up and they tear you down

              And nothing lasts (on overpay?)

              At least you get to do it again in a day

              Shield your soul

              Make sure you leave (unscathed?)

              You don't drown, you just (stale?)

              …. remember just how beautifully you ….

              So take(?) your senses, please calm down

              …. is gruesome everywhere

              It doesn’t matter what you do

              In the end it all comes home to you

              So dream sweet dreams for everyone

              (…)

              (…)

              …. ever sing a song

              (… dream their dreams for you …)

              (… wake up …)
