Lyrics for ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tre! songs

Since album sleeves are made and printed after the recording is done, they should always have the correct lyrics based on what is sung on the CD.

This.

Maybe. Hence the "lyrics you thought were one thing and eventually turned out to be another" thread! Haha!

But yeah, I like to know the real words. I can usually tell just by listening, but if I decide to read along, I shouldn't need a red pen to make corrections to his own lyrics.

Haha, I've never entered to that thread :D

But like on Carpe Diem for example he obviously sings "dominated by passerbys," but the book says "passersby" because that's the proper english plural of passerby... which Billie probably didn't know and didn't write himself, it's as if Warner just spell checked it for him.

Here's the Uno lyrics as they are in the booklet (except anything in brackets, they're the bits that you can hear but they don't go in the booklet). I've updated the OP with them as well. :)

Nuclear Family (official)

Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round

Like a ferris wheel that's breaking down

Drinking angel's piss gonna crash and burn

I just want some action so gimme my turn

Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy

It's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you

It's looking like another bad comedy

Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too

Can you hear the sound coming over the hill?

Gotta move my feet it's coming in for the kill

Baby baby baby it's a blow out

Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long 'til I detonate

Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy

It's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you

It's looking like another bad comedy

Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too

Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round

LIke a ferris wheel that's breaking down

Screaming screaming screaming bloody murder

Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long 'til I detonate

Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy

It's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you

It's looking like another bad comedy

Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too

(I said ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three

Five four three two one)

Stay the Night (official)

Well I ain't got much time so I'll get to the point

Do you wanna share a ride and get the fuck out of this joint?

I got an impulse so repulsive that it burns

I wanna break your heart until it makes your stomach churn

I gotta know if you're the one that got away

Even though it was never meant to be

Say you'll stay the night

'Cause we're running out of time

So stay the night

I don't wanna say goodbye

(x2)

You're so sick and tired of feeling so alone

I don't understand the point if you got to go home

So won't you stay and count the circles round my eyes?

And we can watch the stars until the sun begins to rise

I gotta know if you're the one that got away

Even though it was never meant to be

Say you'll stay the night

'Cause we're running out of time

So stay the night

I don't wanna say goodbye

(x2)

Carpe Diem (official)

Breaking in a sweat, like a bomb threat

Is your silhouette fading out?

Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse

Another breaking news blowout

Ain't it beautiful, so unusual

Life's a gas and it's running out

Living a cliché, gonna seize the day

Bottle rockets and celebrate

Carpe diem, a battle cry

Aren't we all too young to die?

Ask a reason and no reply

Aren't we all too young to die?

Making a living, making a killing

What's worth forgiving, alright

A blink of an eye, barely scraping by

Dominated by passersby

Feeling out of luck, when the traffic's stuck

And you're feeling so left behind

Getting off a binge, get a second wind

Another promise to make a change

Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing

When the single is out of range

Ain't it strange?

Carpe diem, a battle cry

Aren't we all too young to die?

Ask a reason and no reply

Aren't we all too young to die?

Making a living, making a killing

What's worth forgiving, alright

Carpe diem, a battle cry

Aren't we all too young to die?

Ask a reason and no reply

Aren't we all too young to die?

Let Yourself Go (official)

Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much

And I don't give a damn anyway

You always seem to be stepping in shit

And all you really do is complain

It's your lie, tell it how you like

Small minds seem too alike

Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much

And I don't give a fuck anyway

Let yourself go

(Gotta let it go)

Shut your mouth 'cause you're screaming in my ear

And you're taking up all of the space

You're really testing my patience again

And I'd rather get punched in the face

You're getting on my very last nerve

Everything you've said I've already heard

I'm sick to death of your every last breath

And I don't give a fuck anyway

Let yourself go

(Gotta let it go)

Always fuck fuckin' with my head now

Always fucking with

And I gotta let it go

Let yourself go

Kill the DJ (official)

Walking after dark

In the New York City park

Your thoughts are so unholy

In the holiest of holes

Onward Christian soldier

Filled with jive & mind control

The blood left on the dancefloor

Running running red

The bullet that you asked for

Kill you to your death unless you

Someone kill the DJ

Shoot the fucking DJ

The voices in my head are saying shoot the fucker down

We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind

The culture wars in your heart & your mind

The blood left on the dancefloor

Running running red

The bullet that you asked for

Kill you to your death unless you

Someone kill the DJ

Shoot the fucking DJ

Hold him underwater till the motherfucker drowns

We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind

The culture wars in your heart & your mind

The blood left on the dancefloor

Running running red

The bullet that you asked for

Kill you to your death unless you

Someone kill the DJ

Shoot the fucking DJ

Shoot the fucker down

Someone kill the DJ

Shoot the fucking DJ

The voices in my head are saying shoot the fucker down

Fell for You (official)

I woke up in a pool of sweat

First I thought that I pissed the bed

Haunted stories in the midnight hour

The kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower

Then 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, I crash into you

'Cause you crashed in my imagination too

Break a leg and you crush my heart

I'm a mess and you're a work of art

Count your blessings going zero to five

I steal a kiss then I took a dive

Then 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, I crash into you

'Cause you crashed in my imagination

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

And I fell for you

And I fell for you

Loss of Control (official)

I'm taking down all my enemies 'cause they're all so fucking useless

A bunch of shit-talking drama queens and they're all filled with excuses

I wanna find me a better scene where it's not the same opinion

I'd rather go to the funeral than to this high school reunion

April Fool! Thought you were falling in love

Then you were sucking on a door knob and it slammed in your face

Life's a cruel crushing bastard crime

For a stupid motherfucker and you're doing the time

We're all crazy, we're all crazy now

Well we're so crazy, you've all gone insane

Loss of control

Hanging out all by myself, at least I'm in good company

Hey isn't that old what's his face that I see walking down the street

I'm gonna hide in the shadows 'cause I really got nothing to say

We never had anything in common and I never liked you anyway

April Fool! Thought you were falling in love

Then you were sucking on a door knob and it slammed in your face

Life's a cruel crushing son of a bitch

And you're a stupid motherfucker serving shit to the pigs

We're all crazy, we're all crazy now

Well we're so crazy, you've all gone insane

Loss of control

April Fool! Thought you were falling in love

Then you were sucking on a door knob and it slammed in your face

Life's a cruel crushing bastard crime

For a stupid motherfucker and you're doing the time

We're all crazy, we're all crazy now

Well we're so crazy, you've all gone insane

Loss of control

Troublemaker (official)

Hey! You're giving me a heart attack

You're giving me a cardiac arrest when I'm sitting at the traffic light

Hey! I want to get inside of you

I wanna crack your cranium, delirium in the lower east side of your mind

I wanna be a troublemaker

I wanna be a troublemaker

I wanna be a troublemaker

I wanna be a troublemaker

Hey! I like your BMW

I like your BM-excellent tits with a tattoo of a pig sniffing glue

Hey! You're living at the W

You're looking like a Jezebel, hot as hell, sunburnt in a pink bathing suit

I wanna be a troublemaker

I wanna be a troublemaker

I wanna be a troublemaker

I wanna be a troublemaker

Easy cum and go, gonna go it alone

Knock yourself out with a shot of Patron

I wouldn't say I'm straight 'cause I'm bent out of shape

From now 'til death do us party just before it's too late

Hey! You're giving me a heart attack

You're giving me a cardiac arrest when I'm standing at the traffic light

Hey!

Hey!

Angel Blue (official)

Gonna build it up just to burn it down

You're the princess, I'm a fucking clown

Stop the presses 'cause I'm killing time

Won't you be my bloody Valentine?

You're just a fucking kid

And no one ever gives you a break

You wanna senorita but

Now your heart is gonna break

You're angel blue

With teenage traces

Angel blue

With pretty faces

Stab my heart like a stick in the mud

Cut my chest just to see the blood

Now I'm singing out the alphabet

As the tears are putting out my cigarette

We'll hit the cemetery so we can see the holiday lights

Waking up the dead and everything will be alright

You're angel blue

With teenage traces

Angel blue

With pretty faces

Alright

Stuck in the middle between Heaven and Hell

Alright

Trying to find my better angels

Stab my heart like a stick in the mud

Cut my chest just to see the blood

Stop the presses 'cause I'm killing time

Won't you be my bloody valentine

You're just a fucking kid

And no one ever gives you a break

You wanna senorita

And now your heart is gonna break

You're angel blue

With teenage traces

Angel blue

With pretty faces

Sweet 16 (official)

Bring me back to an hour ago

Time stands still as the years go by

Brown-eyed girl that's throwing down a bottle of Old English

Back in the warehouse

Old days are fine but left so far behind

From California to Jane Street

The kids alright, alright as they'll ever be

'Cause you will always be my sweet sixteen

Sleep on the floor on cardboard

Stab at my heart like a dart board

Browned-skinned girl that I dream about, a long long time now

From the midwest to the beach

Old days are fine but are left so far behind

From California to Jane Street

The kids alright, alright as they'll ever be

'Cause you will always be my sweet sixteen

(So long)

Old days are fine but are left so far behind

From California to Jane Street

The kids alright, alright as they'll ever be

'Cause you will always be my sweet sixteen

Rusty James (official)

This whiskey sour amateur hour

Raise your glass and toast your friends

Someday we will fight again

Your enemies, your tragedies

Pocket knives and rusty chains

Where the hell is the old gang at?

And all the losers can't even win for losing

And the beginners don't even know what song they're singing

There's no one left around

You're the last gang in town

And your heart can't even break

When it doesn't even pound

This broken scene is turning green

Like brass knuckles left in the rain

And death wish kids among the living

I wanna ride on the divided

Anything but the mainstream

Where the fuck is your old gang, man?

And all the losers can't even win for losing

And the beginners don't even know what song they're singing

There's no one left around

You're the last gang in town

And your heart can't even break

When it doesn't even pound

So long! You didn't even say goodnight

So long! There's nowhere to go

When you're hiding in plain sight

There's no one left around

You're the last gang in town

And your heart can't even break

When it doesn't even pound

Haven't bothered typing out Oh Love because we already had the official lyric video.

^ Do you want to have the "official" lyrics from the album sleeve, even though they're wrong in a bunch of parts? (As laly and I have been discussing recently.)

Because on GDA it has the correct lyrics, with what's actually sung rather than what is written. Like in LYG, he says "cut the crap cause you're screaming in my ear," not "shut your mouth cause you're screaming in my ear." There were a lot of mistakes, and it might be good to fix them for this thread. Maybe.

I always thought it was "cut the crap" but assumed I must have been wrong! :lol: I dunno, it's probably best to just keep the ones from the booklet seeing as they're "official". I think some of the GDA ones are correct but on others the booklet is more accurate.

Okay. It's mostly just little weird mistakes in the album sleeve. They have a few words wrong in Stay The Night, Nuclear Family, and Let Yourself Go, then some organizational issues in other songs like Kill The DJ.... stuff like that.

At least the Uno lyrics aren't as wrong as the Sweet Children EP lyrics. Whoever came up with those sucks at deciphering lyrics

Finished SWtRLF lyrics

Uncomfortable silence

I'll kill it if you want me to

I'm like ultraviolet

I'll kill it if you want me to

Out of sight, out of mind

I'm not the hurting kind

I'll make you surrender x4

Stop when the red lights flash

I'll trade you blood for dirty cash

Life in the catacombs

You make me feel like I'm at home

Out of sight, out of mind

Just give in one more time

I'll make you surrender x4

Out of sight, out of mind

Just give in, 1,2,3, GO!

I'll make you surrender x8

Why do I hear something different to "Stop the presses 'cause I'm killing time" on Angel Blue?

I took down the lyrics for the songs in tonight's CSI ep based on the closed captioning. The only song that got played in full was "Amy", which we already had the official lyrics to (I even double-checked to make sure there weren't any changes since the Tiki Bar), so these are just going to be small bits of songs. But hopefully they can help fill in some blanks:

"Stop When The Red Lights Flash"

Uncomfortable silence

I'll kill it if you want me to

I'm like ultra-violence

I'll kill it if you want me to

Out of sight, out of mind

I'm not the hurting kind

I'll make you surrender

Stop when the red lights flash

I'll trade you blood for dirty cash

I'll make you surrender

"Nightlife" (sans verses)

Taking a ride to my old haunt

She's in my blood

I reside in my nightlife

My favorite color's candy apple, girl

And she resides in my mind and my nightlife

Well, I am rollin'

Strollin' into town (come inside)

Is it me? Or am I going crazy? (It's just you)

This dirty city is my sugar town (sugar town)

My little angel of death is my nightlife

"The Forgotten"

Where in the world's the forgotten?

They're lost inside your memory

You're dragging on

Your heart's been broken

'Cause we all go down in history

Where in the world did the time go?

It's where your spirit seems to roam

Like losing faith to our abandon

Or an empty hallway from a broken home

Well, don't look away

From the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away

Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of tomorrow

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of love

I typed out the lyrics for The Forgotten, based on the iTunes preview and the CSI episode:

Where in the world's the forgotten?

They're lost inside your memory

You're dragging on, your heart's been broken

As we all go down in history

Where in the world did the time go?

It's where your spirit seems to roam

Like losing faith to our abandon

Or an empty hallway from a broken home

Don't look away

From the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away

Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

I don't feel strange, it's more like haunted

Another moment trapped in time

I can't quite put my finger on it

But it's like a child that was left behind

(second half of verse, etc.)

Don't look away

From the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away

Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of tomorrow

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of love

Also, here's the updated lyrics for Stop When The Red Lights Flash, based on the various live videos and the CSI episode (I just fixed the ultra violence line is all) -

Uncomfortable silence

I'll kill it if you want me to

I'm like ultra-violence

I'll kill it if you want me to

Out of sight, out of mind

I'm not the hurting kind

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

Stop when the red lights flash

I'll trade you blood for dirty cash

Life in the catacombs

That make me feel like I'm alone

Out of sight, out of mind

I'm not the hurting kind

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

Out of sight, out of mind

Just give in one more time

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

I'll make you surrender, I'll make you surrender

Thanks! In my defense, I did those lyrics a few weeks ago based on the live versions, and, well, you know how Billie sings sometimes. It was hard to tell! :lol:

Updated lyrics, with the corrections thanks to lbw86 -

Uncomfortable silence

I'll kill it if you want me to

I'm like ultra-violence

I'll kill it if you want me to

I'm sorry, but The Forgetten's lyrics are kind of cliche. Even the title of the song is.
