Likely Stories Lyrics

This is my first stab at transcribing the lyrics. Feel free to bolster...

Round heads and Cavaliers
Adult themes and childhood fears
The worthy winners and bad losers
All night cafes and self-abusers

A baby in a jar
An old man in a car
A flame underneath a ???
The cow jumped over the moon

Another likely story(Likely stories)

Soft, electric hair
A girl who's never really there
There was an old woman who swallowed a cat
What do you think of that?

Childrens' ??? and lovers tiffs
Home truths and urban myths
Half forgotten, ???
From a different place and time

Another likely story(Likely stories)

(A baby in a jar
An old man in a car
???
???
Likely stories)

"UN-worthy winners and bad losers"

"A flame underneath a spoon"

"Childrens' gaze and lovers tiffs"

A good jumping off point !! This is what I gathered from my listening to it closely a couple times :)

"Round heads and cavaliers
Adult themes and childhood fears
Unworthy winners and bad losers
All night cafes and self-abusers

A baby in a jar
An old man in a car
A flame underneath a spoon
The cow jumped over the moon

And other likely stories

Soft, electric hair
A girl who's never really there
There was an old woman who swallowed a cat
What do you think of that?

Childrens' games and lovers tiffs
Home truths and urban myths
A half-forgotten nursery rhyme
From a different place and time

Another likely story"

And then yeah the backing choir just sort of repeats some of the lyrics :) I'm wanting to do the lyrics for the rest of the songs, maybe this weekend when i have a chance !

I've got the lyrics for "Foraging" ! Largely helped by this website :)

"Horse and Prince, Pavement, Field
Agaricus, The Blushing Wood
False Deathcap, Grey Spotted Amanita
Tawny Grisette, all are good

The Blusher, the Honey, the Woody Ears
Queen Bolete, Bay Boletus
Penny Bun, Scarletina
Chanterelle, all come eat us 

Trooping Funnel, Glittering Ink Cap
Horn of Plenty, Velvet Shank
Snowy Wax, Amethyst Deceiver
Saffron Milk Cap, the earth we thank 

The Giant Puffball, Shaggy Parasol
Woody Blewit, gather them all
The Fairy Ring, the Polypore
Porcelain, Oyster, Dryad, and more

The Charcoal Burner, Powdery Brittlegill
Scarlet Elf Cup, take your fill"

Now I have more Mushroom Knowledge than I know what to do with (thanks Jarvis)

Lyrics to "Looking For The Girl"

"Let's get some frames exposed
Shed your staples and your clothes
Now give me all youve got to give
Positive and negative 

F-stops and G strings
Two of my favorite things
I don't want to join in
My dear, you must be joking
I just want to photograph you 

Where've you been all my life?
I don't want you for my wife
I like to look and you look great
In five by four, or ten by eight

On the page, you are my muse
In my arms you have no use
You better stay under the bed
Or in the dark of my darkroom instead
Cos I just want to photograph you

Photographs don't argue
Photographs don't get old
Photographs, photographs
Do as they are told

All those things I said I'd do
I never could have done
Cos I've already shot my load
So let me load another one

You don't like my attitude?
Well I, I only like you when you're nude
No, I don't want you to be real
Too much hard work does not appeal
No I just want to photograph you"

 

AND "Poor Babes In The Woods"

"Oh say do you know
That a long time ago
There were three little children
Whos names I don't know

They were stolen away
On a bright summer's day
And left in the woods
In a place far away

And when it was night
So sad was their plight
The stars were not out
And the moon gave no light

They sobbed and they sighed
And they bitterly cried
Poor babes in the woods
Poor babes in the woods"

All the songs are available on Spotify now :)
