The IRS discussion thread

[oneway23]

I'm not even certain that Fortus is on Better

[KillYourIdols]

  No one is certain that anyone is on anything on these demos. I'm sure once CD comes out all the questions will be answered.

Until then everything else is speculation.

I bet you think I?m doing this all for my health


i always thought that line was clear as day, and i could never understand how everyone was getting it wrong. but here is what i got:

I bet you think I?m doing this all for my health
I should?ve looked back in then at somebody else
Feeling like I?ve done way more than wrong
Feeling like I'm living inside of this song
Feeling like I'm just too tired to care
Feeling like I just want to get  my share
Could?ve been the weight that I?ve carried on
Like a broken record for so long


i feel really confident in that (i dont agree with feels because 1) it breaks the pattern and 2) it seriously sounds like feeling), but well never really know until we get a lyrics sheet.

He does not say that many words. That is clear as day.

[kunzerd]

your right, i was lazy and just copy pasted.

he does not say the word I.

[Ellroy]

Am I the only person that hears "sound" instead of "song" in the line:
Feelin' like I'm living inside of this(never get ya outta this) song(sound)

I hear a clear "ow" sound as opposed to a "aw" sound present in the word song. Also, the "n" sound is definiately not nasal like it would be if the word was song. I hear a slight "d" at the edn as well, but this is not as clear as the rest. I know sound doesn't rhyme with wrong, but this is what I strongly hear. Anyone want to give it a few more listens and see if they hear the same as me?

[kunzerd]

im playing it back and i clearly hear song.

i also recant my previous statement and the "i bet you think..." line still holds up in my book.

YOU THINK is not said. Like I said you are saying way too many words

[kunzerd]

i dont know man, i really really do think i hear it.

[Ellroy]

I'm pretty sure I hear the "you think" as well. He definately says two words (or a two syllable word) but they are real fast and a little distorted. The "you" is not emphasized though. Sounds like its being pronounced like a schwa connected to "think". Of course, everything we're saying will probably end up to be completely wrong when we finally get official lyrics for this song. 

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I hope he sings it clearer on the studio version LOL

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I dont know how anyone is hearing the word THINK its not there.


IRS

Love
Is it true?
What they say of you

Gonna call the President
Gonna call up the Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI

There?s not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you gave
I'll follow you
To when you plead the fifth, that?d be the end of time, its true

Wouldn?t be the first time I've been wrong
Wouldn't be the last I should have known
Through all the rumors I can tell,
Some things didn't work so well

Well anyway, it feels the same

When you first told me you were gone
So long ago, but I've been here long
To all the luck getting outta the debt
That's the truth and here's the worst yet
Wouldn't even matter the things I say
You made your mind up ad hoc anyway
There's no use now in dragging it on
Could've seen it coming all along

Well it?s true...ooh...I had
My doubts of you

Gonna call the President
Gonna call myself a Private Eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI

Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face (??)
Read it daily with your morning news
With a cheap hangover, and the headlines true now

[Finck Solo]

I bet your doing this all for my health,
I should've looked again then at somebody else
Feel like I done way more than wrong
Feelin like I never gonna get ya outta this song
Feelin like I'm just too tired to care
Feelin like I done more than my share
Could it be the weight that I've carried on
Like a broken record for so long

And I do
Ooh, oh.
I'm Gonna call the President,
I'm gonna call a private eye
Gonna get the IRS,
Gonna need myself the FBI

Ooh, what shall I do
If I gave my heart to you
It's such a crime you know it?s true

[Bucket solo]

Gonna call the president
Gonna get myself a private eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI

Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face(??)
Read it daily with your morning news
With a cheap hangover, and the headlines true

There's not anymore that I can do

I dont know how anyone is hearing the word THINK its not there.

Dude, 'think' is as clear as day!

What you've got down doesn't scan with what Axl is singing, even if he isn't saying 'think.'

He isnt saying think at all. The lyric the other person has is way too many words. I am not saying the other way doesnt fit bettr because it would but that is not what Axl is singing. He does not say Think in the IRS demo.  I am not sure what you are hearing but its clear as day Axl is saying "I bet your doing this all for my health"

[Jim]

No way dude! You're so wrong!

We'll have to agree to disagree, and then agree to agree that I'm right.

He says it like... I bet youthink... As if it were one word.

But I guess we'll just have to wait until we have the booklet for the new album. And if it isn't on it? Well. Then I guess we'll just have to do battle until the end of time.

^^^ hes right. listen to him hes sooo smart and dreamy .. *sigh*

[axe]

I'm hearing "think" in that line too. Very clearly.

But then again, it is or it is not only one word on one line. There's another 10 or so lines on that version of the lyrics that just aren't right. Once again, I can't get what the right lyrics are but I'm only saying that those people with good ears and who has enough language skills shouldn't be satisfied with those ones but should just keep on working... or wait until the song comes out in a product with a lyric sheet.

[killingvector]

I don't hear think......sorry.
