  • well... i didn't do as well with this as i had hoped... but here is what i got rosa... hopefully someone can help me with the ??? parts... ahah


    Keep It Down

    I don't want everyone to think I'm nuts
    Because I'm not
    I was surrounded by the Johnsons
    Now I move on

    Keep it down
    Keep it down

    You can see through the walls to my room
    But not through me
    My mom was crying because she could
    See inside me

    I've got to eat my way out of here
    Away from the people
    That drink their way into here

    A million years of selection
    To know what's prey
    But for me that dead animal is
    The enemy

    Keep it down
    Keep it down

    I've got to eat my way out of here
    Away from the people
    Who drink their way into here
    I've got to eat my way out of here
    Away from the people
    Who drink their way into here


    edit: i edited in k and alice's thoughts too... i think we've got it smile.gif

    I think it's Johnsons too.

    It's either that or "Now I move on."

    It might be "But for me that dead animal is" but it's hard to tell.

    i was trying to figure out if there was an extra word, or if he was just dragging 'that' or 'animal' out... i'll make the changes
  • Rosa, Thank you very much for let me know this !

    Katieyellow and ezorvera, I really thank for transcript of the lyrics.
    I'm really bad at English hearing. (haha, not only English hearing wacko.gif )

    ditto to both laugh.gif

    I could have sworn the first verse said "I don't want everyone to think I'm nice, because I'm not"... and I thought I myself was nuts cause I understood Johnsons too. laugh.gif

    Haha. That reminds me of this one time after a show when I was talking to Tim and some girls came up and asked if Andy was nice and he was like, "He's really mean" and the girls were all shocked, but then Tim said he was just kidding.

    laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif I really like how witty Tim is... like on that interview when they're asked how does one gets one's sexy back and Tim immediately says, "make sure to keep the receipt" laugh.gif I mean, who thinks of such a creative answer so quickly? blink.gif tongue.gif ...btw, what were those girls supposing Tim would respond to a question like that one? rolleyes.gif

    hahahaha!
    And I like how Damian was totally baffled at that. Only a Tim can confuse a Damian smile.gif
  • To me "Keep It Down" has a very George Harrison sound; not so much for the lyrics, but more for the mystic echoes, strings, and almost Indian sound. Any Beatles fans know what I'm talking about?

    Yes!!! I agree!! I know exactly what you're talking about... especially during that first line, "I don't want everyone to think I'm nuts/nice" yes, I definitely hear it.
  • LOL, yeah, I already bought mine. wub.gif
