Really Rough Outline Of Lyrics To No Warning

Baby Thief · Post by **Baby Thief** » 9/12/2003, 5:46 pm

Please say how you're feeling
How your conversation's new

Warning warning, loving the day
Boring you, i believe in you

No warning, no warning no
no warning, no warning no

??????? you're having a ???????? awhile
More than what you're willing to be
You're nothing, oh you're nothing anymore

warning, no warning, no
no warning, no warning, no

Half past, more than we knew
????????? feels like you're done and weakened
You're falling under

NO NO

You get no warning, no warning
no, no warning,
You get no warning, no warning.

Yeah, 75% of it is probably wrong, but i think i got the begining pretty well... If there is any better version please let me know!

After trying to get the lyrics, and actually paying attention to it, its really pretty good, it has an awesome guitar solo after the chorus.

too bad there's no good rip of no warning...

Wow, remember the days when a song like Stealing Babies came out of Raine's pen? Yeah, I miss those days. Meh, who needs a chorus that is more than a variance of two fucking words anyways?

You know, I was just thinking about this. The chorus reminds me of another song lyrically. With OLP's song, we have:

"No warning, no warning, no"

Now, I don't know if many people remember this song, but for those that do, you will get a laugh out of this and probably appreciate No Warning a little less.

"Go ninja, go ninja, go!"

Yes, when your songs are comparable to Vanilla Ice's songs, especially one out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, that makes your songs seem a little worse. Just a little though.

Go ninja go ninja go!

1. stop being so fucking cynical and stop complaining.
"eehh! i miss stealing babies! wwaahhhh!!!"

2. that tmnt song rocked socks. i don't care if it was by vanilla ice, olp would be super amazing if they made a song like that one...

Right now, your complaining about No Warning having only 2 words in the chorus...and the thing that I want to point out is that the song "Dirty Walls" has a chorus of Raine shouting dirty walls over and over again...and yet your not complaining about that song's lack of creativity in the chorus.

Oh yeah, olp are definetly bad since they use two words in their chorus's now. *says this while listening to Dirty Walls and Supersatelite*

Seriously, it sounds pretty good. The guitar solo after the chorus sounds nice. And the way the lyrics flow is pretty cool too. It reminds me of some of their demo stuff.

i havent heard the song yet, but i have to agree with alan. and if the song actually sounds like that ninja turtles one did, i think i'll cry :lol:

Yes, but what you people don't know is, my two least enjoyable OLP albums are Naveed and Gravity. I didn't like much off of Naveed, except for Starseed, Neon Crossing, Naveed, and The Birdman. The rest of the cd was alright, at best, to me.

I was trying to make a fucking joke. Usually people laugh about Vanilla Ice, but no, I forgot it's blasphemy to laugh at a joke that isn't about why OLP is the greatest thing ever on here.

By the way, if you people think this song is a lyrical masterpiece, then you have no musical taste at all.

Do we even know the words yet? Nobody knows the words yet. How can you say it isn't or is a musical masterpiece based on lyrics that are most likey 75% wrong.

Relax Alan.

olp will never ever be able to create a masterpiece like the ninja rap.

the other night we watched the movie "please hammer dont hurt them" man that shit was amazing.

yea i mean this chorus is almost as good as this one:

Walking in circles
Walking in circles
Walking in circles
Walking in circles
Oh…

or then there is this one

So this is war... I...
Wipe that smile off your face
Oh, this is war and oh...
Your gonna wipe that smile off your face
Off your face
Go

Usually when a band performs a song a bunch of times the same way, and we all have live recordings of it, we tend to believe that is how the song will stay and we start to learn the lyrics. We have bootlegs of the song, and odds are, the three or four words she missed won't make it go from something I was capable of writing my freshman year of high school (6 years ago, if you don't know me) to an utterly amazing song. Plain and simple.

It was OLP's lyrics that made me expand in my songwriting ability. OLP's lyrics taught me to write outside the typical song subjects. Now I don't want to believe that me, being 19 years old, has surpassed an amazing songwriter in sheer artistic talent who inspired me to do nearly everything I've done to this date.

The lyrics have regressed, and no matter how many nifty solos Steve plays now, it won't make up for the lack of creativity and inability to write a good song.

Oh, and by the way, you might compare Dirty Walls and Supersatellite to Walking in Circles and No Warning, but let's stop for a second and use our minds. Look at the lyrics to the two Naveed songs before the chorus. Absolutely fucking amazing. Look at the lyrics before the two new songs. Sub-par. But then again, it fits the sub-par chorus too. Oh well.

Here's an idea... don't believe it. I haven't seen your work, but I very much doubt that you have surpassed Raine.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 9/13/2003, 11:11 am

Here's an idea...fuck off. It's safe to say just about anyone with balls to post something they write on here can produce better songs than the garbage listed above.

I'm done discussing this. The lyrics fucking suck. End of story.

all of you olp super fans who come on here and think they can do no wrong need to expand their musical tastes.

Mechanical Thought · Post by **Mechanical Thought** » 9/13/2003, 11:16 am

I love OLP, and I try to take a positive look on their music, whether it's easy or not. But this ... I just don't know anymore ...

Baby Thief · Post by **Baby Thief** » 9/13/2003, 12:25 pm

Ok, i am not one of those super OLP fans. I think gravity was not only the worst cd by OLP, but also had some songs that were just bad. I was heavily dissapointed in gravity.

The new songs are different. All of those here who dislike them are just saying that because they are different that the older ones. Now, i will say, these lyrics are not as good as the ones from the first cds, but they are definetly an improvement from gravity.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 9/13/2003, 12:52 pm

Well, I don't know about that. It's debatable about being better than Gravity. That cd was chock full of sappy lovesick lyrics, but this one, the lyrics are just corny. I can't see or feel the meaning in No Warning at all.

And your statement about everyone that doesn't like the new stuff doesn't like the fact that OLP is doing something different is wrong. See, I liked OLP each time they changed. I liked them more and more after Clumsy, Happiness..., and Spiritual Machines came out, then I had a bomb dropped on me with Gravity. Not good times there. Anyways, maybe the people that don't like the new stuff see OLP as evolving into a pop-rock band and not the same cutting edge band that wasn't afraid to use lots of falsetto, write some of the craziest, yet deepest songs I've ever heard, and have some of the best guitar and drums backing up the lyrics (sorry Duncan, you're a great bassist, but not the greatest :lol:

). I just don't see OLP wanting to evolve into a pop-rock band a logical evolution for a band that would write these amazing cds in the past.
