Pedestrian

[Axtech]

I got this album in the mail today.


Its so very good.

what the FUCK?

why does Joel hate me so much? I still haven't gotten mine!!!

[Soozy]

hehe. poor Robbo.

[Johnny]

Joel is my homies



*listens to Headwreck*

[Soozy]

Robbo - maybe it's been sitting at your mum's work for weeks like the last one???

[Axtech]

But I think I had this one addressed to me here at home...

Of course, I can't check because the confirmation e-mail was on my old computer. hah

[myownsatellite]

Boo mine's still not here either.

[Long Jonny]

pedestrian has become one of my favourite bands. soooo freakin good. i can't stop listening to ghostly life.

[Axtech]

I know what you mean. I can't start listening to Ghostly Life.

[Johnny]

pedestrian has become one of my favourite bands. soooo freakin good. i can't stop listening to ghostly life.

[Olp_waited]

oh yes. They have entered my top 3 bands. Does anyone else thinking Playing god sounds lsimiliar to another song? I can't quite but my finger on it. It's the guitar part, I believe.

[pit_girl1]

Oooh the new cd is out?? I think I'll have to order that!

[myownsatellite]

I'm attempting to figure out the lyrics to some of the songs on this new album, since I seem to be incapable of finding them elsewhere.

So far I have what I could make out of Overwhelmed and Come Down After.

Contributions anyone?

Here's what I have for Overwhelmed:

I feel simple, I feel lost
I feel happy with only a ball (??)
I wanna get away
I've got to get away
One more blow will do me in
So I hide beneath this skin
It's so much safer here
It must be safer here
And the darkest parts of me
Where I tend to find my peace
It's not much better here
It can't be better here
Ooooh oh I get so overwhelmed, I
Ooooh oh I get so overwhelmed, I
Ooooh oh
Is it easier on you
When I play that I'm through
We build our walls again
I built our walls again
Sometimes love feels this free
Sometimes love disappears
I take what I can get
I take what I can get
Ooooh oh I get so overwhelmed, I
Ooooh oh I get so overwhelmed, I
Ooooh oh I get so overwhelmed, I
Ooooh oh
As the world falls on me
Will the righteous ones believe
I won't get used to it
I can't get used to it
Still the air tastes the same
Every face shape and name
I've bled enough for now
I've bled enough for now


And for Come Down After:

We've been there once
Once before
I still remember
The empty place
Dusty floors
A broken mirror
We wrote our names
Behind the door
We'd live forever
Wake me up before you go
Bow my head down to the ghosts
I still remember
With frozen hands
Begin the slow
We stop forever
When we are done
And say goodbye
Rest your head on me tonight
And sleep forever
Once the sun sets in your eyes
I'll come down after
Oh wake me up before you go
Cause I won't live this anymore



That one was a lot harder. Anyone feel free to correct me. I want the RIGHT lyrics haha. Sorry this comment was so long...

[faninor]

I will write them up sometime. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out lyrics. The second line in Overwhelmed is "I feel heavy with all the above" but I don't have most of the lyrics memorized so I'm going to have to listen through the songs to figure them out.

[myownsatellite]

Well Josh darling, any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks for the clarification on that line, I was like "but that makes no sense!"

[faninor]

Also I think some lyrics are on Pedestrian's website, but most of them aren't there.

http://www.pedestrianmusic.org/html/info/lyrics.html

[Kathy]

there are some lyrics on the myspace page as well, for a few of the songs that are up in the player.

[myownsatellite]

Suck. I couldn't find that page last night >(

[Kathy]

also - Joel posted a blog on the Pedestrian myspace about the Canadian tour

[myownsatellite]

Hehe
*easy for Joel*

[faninor]

I'm not so sure about some of them, I used the lyrics on the site and Myspace when posssible, but those have some slight differences between how they were recorded so I corrected them.

-Headwreck-

Please let me give you my love now
Please let me give you this let down
I'm gonna give you what you need
I'm gonna give you what you need
Please let me give you this knockout

Please let me give you this red dress
Please let me give you this headwreck
I'm gonna give you what you need
I'm gonna give you what you need
Please let me give you this big mess

Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love

(stuff)

Please let me share with you my room
Please let me share with you my womb
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)
I'm gonna give you what you need (please let me share with you my wounds)

Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love

-Humming Bird on a Wire-

The house is on fire let it burn to the ground
Maybe this explains why I've kept you around
The world is getting heavy so I think I might sleep
I get lost in the tele so I don't have to think

These are all temporary cures
Something to remove my head from its position
Just a quick fix from the burn
Until I get distracted again

Plenty of this, I've got plenty of that
Perhaps a little more would keep me intact
Running all directions yet having nowhere to go
I think I'm going crazy 'cause I've locked all the doors

These are all temporary cures
Something to remove my head from its position
Just a quick fix from the burn
Until I get distracted again

These are all temporary cures
Something to remove my head from its position
Just a quick fix from the burn
Until I get distracted again

Please settle down
My mind's gone abstract
Please settle down
My mind's gone mental

These are all temporary cures
Something to remove my head from its position
Just a quick fix from the burn
Until I get distracted again

These are all temporary cures
Something to remove my head from its position
Just a quick fix from the burn
Until I get distracted again


-Overwhelmed-

I feel simple, I feel lost
I feel heavy with all the above
I want to get away, I've got to get away
One more blow will do me in
So I hide beneath this skin
It's so much safer here, it must be safer here
In the darkest parts of me
Where I tend to find my peace
It's not much better here, it can't be better here

Oh, we get so overwhelmed by
Oh, we get so overwhelmed by

Is it easier on you
When I play that I'm through
We built our walls again, I've built our walls again
Sometimes love feels this free
Sometimes love disagrees
I'll take what I can get, I take what I can get

Oh, we get so overwhelmed by
Oh, we get so overwhelmed by
Oh, we get so overwhelmed by

We get so overwhelmed
We get so overwhelmed by

As the world falls on me
Wil the righteous ones believe
I won't get used to it, I can't get used to it
Still the air tastes the same
Every face, shape, and name
I've bled enough for now, I've bled enough for now


-Come Down After-

We've been there once, once before
I still remember
The empty place, dusty floor
The broken mirror
We wrote our names behind the door
To live forever
Wake me up before you go

Bow my head down to the ghosts
I still remember
They burned out well but still won't go
Until December
With frozen hands begin to slow
And stop forever
When we are done and say goodbye

Rest your head on me tonight
And sleep forever
Once the sun sets in your eyes
I'll come down after
Oh, wake me up before you go
'Cause I won't live this anymore


-Playing God-

We retreat to cubby holes, full of intention
Oh but we fall short, for we are obsessed with our possessions
We relive all that we can, take it in and swim
Oh but we fall short, for we are obsessed with our possessions
And I'm vamping out in leisurely walls of denial
I hide from the smog
And I run for the door
Let's play house, white picket fences
Oh let's play dead, let's play god and enjoy the view
We're spenning out of control, it's probably so
Oh, but I don't mind
It doesn't affect this opportunity to present myself to me
So what for this clear blue sky
So what for loving hands
Oh and they're trembling
From caffeine
I'm vamping out in excess overload
I hide from this world
And I run to myself
Tell me how did we get this far if we don't understand
I hide from myself
And I run to the world
Tell me how did we get this far if no one understands


-Please-

?


-The Abundance Of-

Hypnotized blue screens, the suns of attraction
Pleasure is passed, rubber bags, life's potential
Echoing remnants of our imagination
The driveways, the strip malls, the church next door
The beauty of us in blithering ambition
In place of such manner we would benefit from
Echoing remnants of our imagination
A silent soul is crushed
I spit to speak you hear clarity in chaos
Fetish freaks in night dress with pity fit tantrums
The potential of us in blithering exhibition
So here I am, in my femininity
Penny for your disease that resides in my head
Penny for the fuck fit me encompasses
Paralyzed smut, blithering addiction
In mood abundant, filtered falsehood's coat we wear the warmth
I am denied the potential of such
Manner in blithering exhibition
Echoing remnants of our imagination
The drool of sex suspect infatuation
Intoxicate me with the shape of your love
The beauty of us in blithering isolation
Fetish freaks in night dress with pity fit tantrums
The potential of us in blithering exhibition
So here I am, in my femininity
Penny for your disease that resides in my head
A penny for the fuck fit me encompasses
Paralyzed smut, blithering addiction
The echoing remnants of us imagine


-This Pretty Girl-

Of all these glorious places and these typical places
I've got a story to tell if you would just sit still
I'm not the prettiest girl compared to this pretty world
But I've got something to offer if you would give me the time
I'll make no promise I won't keep and I promise the truth

I once sat top of the world with views that birds can't compete with
Chose who I would sleep with and who I would dismiss
I didn't need a relation or a family vacation
Just the little people running round to cover my tracks
Then I find I am alone, no one to cover my back
Once they knew to take advantage of this once pretty girl

All of my inspiration has fallen straight to the floor
Flat on my back, eyes wide open, staring back at the world

I've done my time in the mirror, I've done my time with the worst parts of living
With no start and no means to an end
And they can take what they want, and they can steal all they can
But they won't ever find a reason [to get them back?]
Now I found my inspiration and I found my path
Now I found myself a friend and god I want you back

All of my inspiration has now been picked from the floor
With my head high, I'm climbing back to the top of the world
All of my inspiration has now been picked from the floor
With my head high, I'm climbing back to this now pretty girl


-Brain on a Stick-

Your face glowing, it's a disgrace
Knowing your mountain's growing high
We're slowly slowing to an end
Your head needs a baseball bat smacked
Brains falling to the ground
We gather around and we celebrate

I swear something's wrong

Hold me back slap under attack
Lost track, smack up the day
We broke our backs living under you
Life's made me understand you better
And I know I am
Not, not, not, not your friend

I swear something's wrong
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Half ass, sneaky little half ass
This flag's at half mass, I'll pass
I think we're gonna blow
If I had one wish it would be to see you slip
Rejoice in this get high on this
And I'll bask in it

I swear something's wrong
I swear something's wrong
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck
This brain's been stuck up on a stick
This brain's been stuck on top of it
This brain is fucked, you're full of shit


-Dosify-

There you are, in your mind's all the faces of days less abrasive, rewind
There you go, all you know all you show is a blow I follow behind
Here you are, are your arms strong enough now to carry the weight of my love love love
And you are with your face in a puddle, holding your breath until love comes

Beautiful, you're flower in the making, never cease to exist
Cynical, for you belittle invention anything mentioned about you
And you are with your head in a puddle, holding your breath until love comes

This is your highly unlikely love song
Oh, this is your highly unlikely love song
Oh, this is your highly unlikely love song

Here we are, all reflection is dead for the mouth that we fed is now gone
Beautiful, you're a flower for the taking, God's great creation undone, done, done, done, done
Still you are with your head in a puddle, holding your breath til love comes
Here we are, all your fear and emotion, one big explosion against me

This is your highly unlikely love song
Oh, this is your highly unlikely love song
Oh, this is your highly unlikely love song
Oh, this is your highly unlikely love song


-Ghostly Life-

Here I sit silent and anonymous
Watching as the paisley smoke scrolls by
Take a breath and hold it in
Suffocate in ghostly life
Funny how it simply takes its time

Gathered all my special things and threw them in a bag
Strategically I place my foot and stand
Careful not to slouch this time, careful not to trip
I guess this is exactly who I am

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
