MeDave Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) I was looking to figure out the guitar and lyrics to wreckroom (more and more my favorite song in ages) and got carried away - wrote out the whole CD. I'm typically notorious for mis-hearing or interpreting things so feel free to debate what are sure to be plent of my mistakes - be at least its a starting point... Hey Chicken I hear you whisper I hear you whineI hear you hangin on the sour-grape vineoh why so angry whats mine is mineyou got resentment you're sick and tired you want me broken? you want me dead?I'm living rent free in the back of your headHey chicken you're all talkHey chicken you're all talk I see your sister she's lookin fineoh she's been hanging on my sour-grape lineoh why so angry whats mine is minejust rise above it - man its been a long time you want me broken? you want me dead?I'm living rent free in the back of your headHey chicken you're all talkHey chicken you're all talk Ruling Class He resurfaced on the sidewalk on my block, the other day.Yeah, it's a fact check it, sorry Charlie, honey he's back from L.A.So son you better turn it around, yah, Christ is on his way across town,He was gettin tired of hanging around... Yeah, he's back Jack, smokin crack find him if you want to get found. He's having supper with the upper management of a new regime.He's in a new jacket, tax bracket, sandals and a dark pair of jeans.He's got deductions right on down the line, dependent claims on all of mankind... Oh Have no fear he's right here and drinking beer, just trying to get down. He resurfaced on the sidewalk on my block the other day.Yeah, it's a fact check it, sorry Charlie, honey he's back from the grave.You better turn your frown upside down, Christ is on his way across townHe was gettin tired of hangin around...

Wreckroom From the valley towards the mountainyou get there through the valleygo, with your eyes downand your there, and all you seein a flash, in a stream,golden and small relentless and understoodin the hills - inside you if there's something that you've missedtheres something you can(t) find - with time we are less and less evolvinggiants getting zoomed in focus on the planets and the life that you can't namedon't you know they have namesforget the mountains,the depths of dreaminglet the valley forget me if there's something that you've missedor something you can(t) find - with time through the valleyand each footfallsurrender just falls softly.

insideoutoflove Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 about the ruling class...i could have sworn at the madison show when he debuted it he said "if you want to get down" when he sang the very last line in that high pitched voice..its been hard to tell, but ive been listening to that line at the past couple shows and have heard both. pretty sure the official CD version of the song is 'if you want to get found', but has anyone else heard 'get down' during some of his live versions? or am i just imagining things?

I think Tweedy has varied it a little in the live versions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
