help needed to find the whole lyrics!

Postby justme » Mon Nov 07, 2005 10:16 pm

hello, is someone here to help me with a song? I really need the whole lyrics from The Diodes- tired of waking up tired. I was looking in so many sides but no one knows the words of this song.
Please help! Thank you.

I have the lp and CD at home. Not sure if either has the lyrics in them but I'll have a look.

TIRED OF WAKING UP TIRED
(Catto)

I'm tired of waking up tired
Yeah, waking up tired
I'm tired of waking up tired
Yeah, waking up tired
Too much time to kill it's killing me


And we're done. Oh, what? You need the verses, too? Oh. Um...


Tall, blackened explosion...

uh...

generate emotion ...

... pointing like a gun...

er...

time's almost up...



Well, good luck with that!

LOL! That's about what I remember too. After a couple of listens I can add [b]this[/b]

I'm tired of waking up tired

Tall, blackened explosion...
la-la-la-la-la

la-la-la-la-la
[b]awake and see the light[/b]




[b]I look like a target
I'm[/b] pointing like a gun
[b]plotting out my movements
I'm on the run[/b]
time's almost up...
[b]to turn it all around[/b]


Friggin' Canadians...you can never understand them.

I can't make heads or tails of the second or fourth lines, either. I can hear "heart attack" in the second and maybe "crash" in the fourth, but nothing that even resembles a coherent sentence. "I left it in the crash?" Yeah, there you go. Every time I listen to the last line, I hear something different. "We'll wake then see the light." "We'll make them see the light." "Awake then see the light."

Last line, I think, is "You turn it up to turn it all around." I could not figure out "Plotting out my movements" at all. But by jove, that's it.

Paul Robinson's got a ways to go before he's in the James Reyne/Jeff Starrs league of unintelligibility. Perhaps a few more marbles in his mouth and he can "bargle nawdle zouss" with the best of them.

In my youth I knew all the words, but then again I spent my youth hammered. Hmmmm... this calls for some "refreshments".

I spent my youth in Boston, so it goes without saying that I spent it hammered.

Come to think of it, wasn't Robinson from Boston? No wonder the lyrics are unintelligible.

I'm sorry to say after about a dozen listens, I still can't make heads or tails of those two lines. Oh, well, I did my best.
