We appreciate you going through all this trouble. You are the only site I found that has the lyrics to "Beauty of Speed" and some of the other songs she played in Germany. I don't know why you don't like "Rosey", though. That's one of her best songs ever. People will go nuts when she plays that on tour.
Just a minute of your time/ Yes, I've been known to [dilute] myself/ So let me put those rose-colored glasses to the test/ Now is this real enough for you, cause blondes here don't jump jump out of cakes/If that never impressed you much, come board this lunatic express/Just why do they say have a nice day anyway/We both know they wouldn't mind if I just curled up and died/Oh let's not give that one a try/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies/raise those blinds/Chin up, a happiness mask was never your best disguise/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies [in your time], you will feel almost fine, almost rosey/Now some girls here [will huddle with], no not football is that all rich/But we'll confide in small white sticks/he [bats us his] Virginian slim/Then I tried once to comply with an authority that would subsidize my wild side/[But a thistle too] was sacrificed/ Yes, you can love a femme fatale in a bride's dress now married to the effortlessness of the cracks that lie now in between the facts//Just why do they say have a nice day anyway/We both know they wouldn't mind if I just curled up and died/Oh let's not give that one a try/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies/raise those blinds/Chin up, a happiness mask was never your best disguise/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies [in your time], you will feel almost fine, almost rosey/Now [a part] when Violet died the call still unidentified/She thought her love would be enough/But you can't seduce seduction/Her tentacles [of endless want] reach through my corridors and tempt me to taste of her power/I [soap her] with a witching hour/And when I hear of one more bomb/Yes, we have all been robbed of song and nightgales who throw their arms up/When is enough enough/
Jerry -- Thanks for transcribing rosey! I did hear a few things different from your transcription of 'rosey', thought you might be interested: [now some girls here will huddle with/no not footballers fat or rich/but will confide in small white sticks/ he boxes, The Virginian Slim/ Then I tried once to comply with an authority that would subsidize my wild side/ but at this, all too was sacrificed] also in the last verse: [now about when violet died/cause still unidentified/she thought her love would be enough/but you can't seduce seduction/her tentacles of endless want/reach through my corridors/and tempt me to taste of her power/ i sober with the witching hour/and when i hear of one more bomb/ yes we have all been robbed of song/ and nightinggales who throw their arms up/ witness, enough, enough]
Also does anyone else here the reference to willy wonka and the chocolate factory going on? in the last verse, Violet did die, and yes, the cause *did* remain unidentified. She certainly had endless want ("I WANT MOOOOREEE!!!). Also in the first verse, "come board this lunatic express" may be referring to that trippy trainride they took through the tunnel in the movie? I don't think I'm reaching here... and willywonka has a lot to do with the theory of 'making things rosey'. He led a world within a world that was perfected to his liking, but things still went wrong when he brought other things into it. Thanks, kelldanu
kelldanu, I think you are right about "footballers", "the Virginian Slim", "about when Violet died", "sober"...the only thing we both got wrong I think is "at this altar was sacrificed"...and yes, it could be the Violet from Willy Wonka. Did she die, though? "Lunatic Express" does have another meaning in England, you can look it up on Wikipedia. Thanks fro the feedbank.
I think Smokey Joe is my new favorite and here are the lyrics:

Almost Rosey [unsure of these words]
Just a minute of your time/ Yes, I've been known to [dilute] myself/ So let me put those rose-colored glasses to the test/ Now is this real enough for you, cause blondes here don't jump jump out of cakes/If that never impressed you much, come board this lunatic express/Just why do they say have a nice day anyway/We both know they wouldn't mind if I just curled up and died/Oh let's not give that one a try/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies/raise those blinds/Chin up, a happiness mask was never your best disguise/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies [in your time], you will feel almost fine, almost rosey/Now some girls here [will huddle with], no not football is that all rich/But we'll confide in small white sticks/he [bats us his] Virginian slim/Then I tried once to comply with an authority that would subsidize my wild side/[But a thistle too] was sacrificed/ Yes, you can love a femme fatale in a bride's dress now married to the effortlessness of the cracks that lie now in between the facts//Just why do they say have a nice day anyway/We both know they wouldn't mind if I just curled up and died/Oh let's not give that one a try/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies/raise those blinds/Chin up, a happiness mask was never your best disguise/Chin up, put on a pair of these rosies [in your time], you will feel almost fine, almost rosey/Now [a part] when Violet died the call still unidentified/She thought her love would be enough/But you can't seduce seduction/Her tentacles [of endless want] reach through my corridors and tempt me to taste of her power/I [soap her] with a witching hour/And when I hear of one more bomb/Yes, we have all been robbed of song and nightgales who throw their arms up/When is enough enough/
Listened again. It's probably "delude myself" and maybe "I so prefer a witching hour".
nightinggales
yes, nightinggales
We were thinking maybe it was: "know-not footballers that are rich" ???
Jerry -- Thanks for transcribing rosey! I did hear a few things different from your transcription of 'rosey', thought you might be interested:
[now some girls here will huddle with/no not footballers fat or rich/but will confide in small white sticks/ he boxes, The Virginian Slim/ Then I tried once to comply with an authority that would subsidize my wild side/ but at this, all too was sacrificed]
also in the last verse:
[now about when violet died/cause still unidentified/she thought her love would be enough/but you can't seduce seduction/her tentacles of endless want/reach through my corridors/and tempt me to taste of her power/ i sober with the witching hour/and when i hear of one more bomb/ yes we have all been robbed of song/ and nightinggales who throw their arms up/ witness, enough, enough]

Dragon
Don't tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
You touched my hand
I felt a force
You called it dark
But now I'm not so sure
Just stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Why don't you
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Cause your wild card Boy needs playing
Don't believe the lie
Your Dragon needs slaying
Won't you lay here with me
And I will bring
Kisses for the beast
Lay here with me
Here with me
Don't tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
When I look back over
Documents and pages
Ancient savageries
Christened those inflated.
Now it has come to light
The Gods they have slipped up
They forgot about the power
Of a woman's love
Just stay a while
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Why don't you
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Cause your wild card Boy needs playing
Don't believe the lie
Your Dragon needs slaying
Won't you lay here with me
And I will bring
Kisses for the beast
Lay here with me
Here with me
Don't tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
Forgive my
Candy lies
Secret Spell
In one hand dreams a plenty
In her smile a secret spell
There have been disappointments
These she knows all too well
And you losing you
Was not a part of this plan
So
Jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
You still got your secret spell
At the heart of the matter
Someone wove a secret spell
Mixed with girl not so peaceful
Angel and animal
But me losing you
Was not a part of this plan
So
Jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
You still got your secret spell
Girl you got to do a 180
Disappointment you know it well
But you losing you
Was not a part of this plan
So
Jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
Hold out
You still got your secret spell
Girl you got to do a 180
'cause you still got your secret spell
