I dunno if there's a thread for this yet, but if anyone can provide some Spiky Brothers lyrics, I'd love you. Especially "Cold Side of the Street". My friend Carolyn and I sing that sometimes (she is here sometimes) but I wanna know the words...

Yes yes, lyrics from the actual album/insert/vinyl cover are the only way to really go. But if I recall correctly, this was only released on cassette (yes?), so there wouldn't be any lyrics to go with this.

Thankfully, Sawao's English is pretty clear here, except for one spot indicated by "????".

Transcribed by ear:

Spiky Brothers: Cold Side of the Street
---
She's a cloud screaming out for the light, can't you see?
When the night brings you a silent dream
I know why, you and your friends never seem to know why
But you see, everything's written in the street

Hey mom, I've been alright
Hey pa, I'm still alright
I see you're now talking to yourself through the night

So don't cry, don't cry baby, don't cry
I'm with you
So don't cry, don't cry, 'cause you know how you try

And you still don't know how long you can go on like this
If you could, you'd get out of this side of the street
Remember, just oh remember, just (?????) remember
I can tell they're now standing on their feet

Hey mom, I'm keeping you in sight
Hey pa, I don't want to fight
Hold on, I see you're still searching for the light

So don't cry, don't cry baby, don't cry
I'm with you
So don't cry, don't cry, 'cause you know how try

Hey mom, I'm keeping you in sight
Hey pa, I don't want to fight
Hold on, I see you're still searching for the light

So you try, and you try, and you try * do the best that you can
'Cause you see, we've got just nowhere to run.

Tell me 'bout this cold side of the street, tell me now
Just like me, you're waiting for the sun.

*intentional
There's just one word I'm hung up on...any thoughts?

Thanks Mr. Rhino, I'm not very good figuring out words sometimes. This sounds accurate though. I was just wondering it anyone had those cassettes.

I think it's

Remember, just oh remember, just (for me) remember

or

Remember, just oh remember, just (please) remember

It's weird. It definitely sounds like a hard K sound: "just kalee remember" is what it really sounds like.

Any more thoughts, IM?

I always thought he said "just like me", but I'm probably wrong.

I think the song starts with "See the cloud..."

As for the ????, I think he's naming people. It sounds like "Remember James ***, remember Jessica ***. I also hear the word chainsaw.

Kurisu i remember you said you were going to get me a picture of that panda <.< you never did.


And GR you own the cassette? Or just the mp3 files? The cassette must cost loads.

I lost these songs some time ago. Would someone care to upload them? I'd be really grateful for that.

Zoom in on this pic and it looks like it could say: "Remember Jason, remember Jessica Lee, remember"
