Lyrics for ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tre! songs

Recommended Posts

This is what I've got:

There is trouble in the air

A rumble in the streets

A going out of business sale

A race for bankruptcy

It's not one to 99, it's 99 to one

A common cause and a call to arms

For the wealth of our daughter and our sons

It's 99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

There's a rat in the company

A bail on easy street

How the fuck did the working self

Become so obsolete

Hit the lights and bang the drum

And let your ____

igitrne gijlen rtilbj fhfj

In the hall of justice and lost souls

It's 99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

We live in troubled times

From the ghettos to an empty suburban home

We live in troubled times

And I'm 99 percent sure someone's wrong

It's 99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

Nine, nine to one

To one

Working off of Matt's lyrics...

There's a trouble in the air

A rumble in the streets

A going out of business sale

And a race to bankruptcy

It's not one to 99, it's 99 to one

A common cause and a call to arms

For the health of our daughters and our sons

It's 99 revolutions tonight

There's a rat in the company

A bail (bill?) on easy street

How the fuck did the working stiff

Become so obsolete?

Hit the lights and bang your drum

And let your _____ unfold

Cause history will prove itself

In the hall of justice and lost souls

It's 99 revolutions tonight

We live in troubled times

From the ghettos to an empty suburban home

We live in troubled times

And I'm 99 percent sure that something's wrong

It's 99 revolutions tonight

i think it's "let your funk unfold" :P and it's "in the halls"

I dunno... I kind of hear funk but that would just make zero sense :lol:

indeed :D well, i think "unfold" could be wrong, too. maybe it's just "fold" and there's a longer word in front of it?

I'm almost sure that it's "The culture war's in your heart and your mind" and not "We'll cut you once in your heart and your mind" for Kill the DJ, but I'm probably wrong.

I thought it was bill, but "bail" is just too appropriate for the whole occupy-bailout thing. Not that bill is such a stretch either...

I agree it might be "flag unfold."

Fell For You lyrics so far:

I woke up in a pool of sweat

At first I thought that I pissed the bed

Heart of stars in the midnight hour

A kiss of death from the Effiel Tower

And I went down like the speed of sound

You're out of sight but not out of mind

I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true

Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you

I'll spend the night living in denial

Making paper planes just for a while

I'll crash into you, crash into you

Did you crash in my imagination too?

Break a leg...

Beautiful lyrics. Can't wait for the full song.

just copied the lyrics from the lady cobra and nightlife thread where Ballad posted them :)

Nightlife

Taking a ride to my old haunt

She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife

My favourite color's candy apple, girl (wtf)

And she resides in my mind and my nightlife

What's that I hear? You wanna go for a ride?

Don't be afraid, boy, to come inside

I got the thing that you want, the fix that you need

Chase this with a little lust and greed

I'll be the devil on your shoulder saying "Hey boy, come on"

My black heart beats crimson ?

Operator, operator let ya boy in

This is nightlife and I'll get under your skin

Taking a ride to my old haunt

She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife

My favourite color's candy apple, girl

And she resides in my mind and my nightlife

What a thrill, heart beats fast

Sounds like love but you know it won't last

Cheap champagne stain on an even cheaper suit

Hope there's more in your pants than a bus route

? Walls ? Sugar-coatd balls?? (hahaha)

Girls on your bar stools from late last calls

This town is filled with snakes, mistakes and whiskey shakes

It's too late I already cut the brakes

I'm rollin', strollin' into town (come inside)

Is it me or am I going crazy? (just you)

This dirty city is my sugar town (sugar town)

My little angel of death is my nightlife

Tried to make out some Lady Cobra lyrics. No idea how accurate they are but it's fun regardless.

Well I met a girl named Lady Cobra

Her black heart beats through ?

She gives me chills and ? blisters

She's serving spells and voodoo shakes?

She just wants to get me high

Stick a needle in my eye

? Of loss and temptation ? on my inner demons (Reeks like a loss of temptation, living on my inner demons?)

I don't wanna suicide, I don't want this to end

I just want to be your friend

?????? (No idea wtf he's saying here)

Talk to me by candlelight

Do you wanna play a game of Twister

Like a dirty old man with a babysitter?

I don't wanna suicide, I don't want this to end

I just want to be your friend

I don't want to make you cry

Cross my heart and hope to die

Drawing blood and ? stars

Drinking ? for cheap guitars

I don't wanna suicide, I don't want this to end

I just want to be your friend

Oh, your friend

In the NME article they mention it being weird for a 40-year-old to write a song about his "Sweet 16" but if the lyrics are actually "you'll always be my sweet 16" (and someone mentioned that at one of the 2011 secret shows Billie said it was an anniversary song), it's funny that it comes across creepy :lol: But Billie's never minded pedophile jokes in the past, soo... Guess we'll need to wait to hear the whole thing to be sure whether he's being a middle-aged prom creeper or just going for a double meaning :lol:

Yeah, but most people don't go to prom til senior year AKA when they're 18.

And Sweet 16 is a GIRL'S 16th birthday.

i was at the webster hall show in oct 2011 ...he said it was 16 years (actually last year as he announced it) that sweet 16 was written....aka 2010 -16 years = 1994 = when he got married. it made sense

its obviously about his marriage

Lyric Video fro 99 Revolutions

youtube.com/watch?v=-goCLWvGL-8

I think he says

a bail out on easy street (not bill on easy street)

Awesome. Anyone want to translate these? Are they official lyrics?

Soo Angel Blue is, IMO, going to be one of the catchiest, funnest songs on Uno (and several of the new reviews I think have mentioned its potential as a fan favorite)... it's such a cross between Kerplunk and that Johnny Be Goode style of rock (especially that opening, so rad).

Anyway, here is my feeble attempt at some lyrics, which definitely look like they'll be a lot of fun.

____ it up and I burn it down

Not a princess, I'm a fucking clown

____ tears and _____ cry/pride

Won't you be my bloody Valentine?

I'm just a fucking ____ you know I really need you that way

Want (a senorita?) and now your ____ is gonna pay

Angel blue will _____ and _____

Angel blue will make me [baby faced?]______

_____ around like a stick in the mud

Cut my chest just to see the blood

Now I'm singing out the alphabet...

And I'm just _______ on my cigarette

[A lot more singing + chorus again]

Trying to find my better angels....

____ around like a stick in the mud

Cut my chest just to see the blood

Now I'm singing out the alphabet

Won't you be my bloody valentine?

Angel Blue, Fell For You and Troublemaker my favs right now. Although, Angel Blue's lyrics are quite strange. But the guitar is killer!
