2bitpie.net - Fluke into 2010

A transcription of Thorns and Roses which, I am pleased to say is a good deal more accurate than the previously posted Fame Game lyrics!

I close my eyes don't let no sunlight in
Just let the darkness be my muse
I close my ears don't let no angels sing (no angels sing)
Tell the world I'm too confused

Lay me down on thorns and roses
Loss of love is such a lonely process
Lay me down on thorns and roses
Lay me down, lay me down

I ride the waves but water crashes in
My mind alive with so much love
I vow to gain closure from within
It bears down heavy from above

Lay me down on thorns and roses (thorns and roses)
Loss of love is such a lonely process (lonely process)
Lay me down on thorns and roses (thorns and roses)
Lay me down, lay me down (lay me down)

Lay me down in thorns and roses (thorns and roses, thorns and roses)
Loss of love is such a lonely process (lonely process, lonely process)
Lay me down on thorns and roses (thorns and roses)
Lay me down, lay me down (lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down)

Hey Martin :-)

My attempt at a translation of Moving to Mars
I hope you can correct some errors.

--- Syntax - Moving to Mars Lyrics ---

There's something about the sun today,
is it summer is it autumn rain?
Skin and sin come aorund, the best of flesh is out

There's something about the moon and the stars,
The nexus thing are living on Mars
when the summer comes and when the water runs.

Space and time are parallel, there's many worlds that i can tell of,
they are way beyond, the darkest skys, we are not alone and we can fly
We locate, investigate other worlds and other states
information coming in, there's no relation no mistake.

There's something about the moon and the stars,
The nexus thing are living on Mars
when the summer comes and when the water runs.

We synchronise our lifes to their,
we drain goodnights, the price put in
We compromised in-amplified time

Space and time are parallel, there's many worlds that i can tell of,
they are way beyond, the darkest skys, we are not alone and we can fly
We locate, investigate other worlds and other states
information coming in, there's no relation no mistake.

There's something about the moon and the stars,
The nexus thing are living on Mars
when the summer comes and when the water runs.

There's something about the moon and the stars,
The nexus thing are living on Mars
when the summer comes and when the water runs.

Hey there, love the site, and the new Syntax music.
My take on Moving to Mars:

There's something 'bout the sun today,
is it summer is it autumn rain,
skin and sin come out,
the best of flesh is out.

There's something 'bout the moon and the stars,
that makes us think 'bout living on mars,
when the summer comes,
and when the water runs.

Space and time are parallel,
there's many worlds, that I can tell,
they're way beyond, the darkest skies,
we're not alone, and we can fly.
We locate, investigate,
other worlds, and other states,
information, coming in,
there's no relation, no more sin.

There's something 'bout the moon and the stars,
that makes us think 'bout living on mars,
when the summer comes,
and when the water runs.

We synchronize our lives to them (theirs, that?),
we recognize the price put in,
we compromised, it amplifies time.

Space and time are parallel,
there's many worlds, that I can tell,
they're way beyond, the darkest skies,
we're not alone, and we can fly.
We locate, investigate,
other worlds, and other states,
information, coming in,
there's no relation, no more sin.

There's something 'bout the moon and the stars,
that makes us think 'bout living on mars,
when the summer comes,
and when the water runs. (x2)

Listening to it again.. 'We locate' might just be 'relocate', to go with the moving to Mars theme :) Also, I think the song is utterly brilliant, I'm totally addicted to it.

Here's an initial attempt at a transcription for Fame Game, as presented in pre-album format on the Syntax MySpace.

There's a few dodgy moments, particularly in verse two. If you have any improvements, feel free to add them in the comments or drop me an email!












White delight is a line for many
Credit cards and rolled up money
That innocence is taken from me
I don't mind though it won't kill me
Reservoirs of stars a plenty
Singing songs their voices empty
Realise life's back too long
Reemphasise that inner turmoil

Come undone I'm so delirious
My cover's blown is this serious fame game?
Come on man I'm not mysterious
Understand this is the serious fame game
Like a knighted child of in-home destiny
Please don't try to help or rescue me
I stand up proud and make no sound
I'm up and down and I'm almost drowned

Sinners within us
Absolute beginners
The image of who or what to deliver
Obssessed with an image
In the public eye
Suggested by carnage when wondering why
You know cigarettes and alco-tonic
Give them more
They know you want it
Give them reasons
To deceive
Change the seasons
They don't need

Come undone I'm so delirious
My cover's blown is this serious fame game?
Come on man I'm not mysterious
Understand this is the serious fame game
Like a knighted child of in-home destiny
Please don't try to help or rescue me
I stand up proud and make no sound
I'm up and down and I'm almost drowned

Like a knighted child of in-home destiny
Please don't try to help or rescue me
I stand up proud and make no sound
I'm up and down and I'm almost drowned

Justin Credible writes with more good news on the Syntax front... another new track!

It's called "Thorns and Roses" and can, again, be heard on the Syntax MySpace page.

In addition to opening up comments again on 2bitpie.net, I can be the bearer of both good and bad news for those awaiting new Syntax material.

To start with the not so good... it will come as no surprise that the album has been delayed and, according to Mike Tournier, will not be available until next year.

However, here's the good news. Again, from Mike T:

We've got about 15 tracks so far. I'm about to start mixing the material.

So good progress is being made.

In addition to this there is also a new Syntax MySpace page which features several unreleased tracks and a couple of demos from the new album!

The new tracks are:

• Moving To Mars
• Please Breathe
• Fame Game

All the new tracks that I've listened to so far seem to replicate the darkness and beauty that co-existed in Meccano Mind.

There's also a nice bunch of Syntax promotional images up on the MySpace site, all of which play upon the "two faces" theme that the band have used for some time now.
