2012 - The Bulls & The Bees

[anaconda]

THE WAR ON WISDOM

They may be moving
I must have missed my calling
Circle and a cover for the night
Semaphore

The world is watching
I must have missed my calling
Target on a mission for the head
Nothing's gonna matter now

The time is perfect
I must have missed my calling
I don't want to ruin to the raw
Civilize

Devout, you're the one that they're talking about
Only the living will have to find the way
Clean house, not even a mouse
They take one good look and they figure it out
Mice have the sense when to go and when to stay

Breathe uneasy
Sold a sea
To washer women and chasing eyes
Secret on the passing passage of the right


WE ARE DOOMED

It's amazing
Turn around and look at the whole thing
All together and take a big black bite of me

I was lonely, and there ain't a whole lot of holding on, going on

You were dreaming
I slept while you did the thinking
Thought a long time and took a big green bite of me

He was crazy, and there ain't a whole lot of holding on, going on

We were happy
Don't know which way I was crawling
Shook around here, and stole a big mean bite of me

It was heavy, and there ain't a whole lot of holding on, going on

Monotone gaze and I won't forget it
Mini tone monster tower now you won't need it

You said no one cares, no one cares about you
I'm amazed how you move around like you have to


FRIENDS BEFORE LARRY

Happy thoughts and golden dreams
For everyone and everything in the world


A REALLY LONG WAIT

The place where I sleep is cold and abandoned
You can't even fathom a hole being dug so deep


NATIONAL HAMSTER

Better notice
And I want to be so falling down and foreign now
And it takes my sign along

Front and backwards
Keep my hands away and keep my wicked deadly nine
Hand it over

Can you ever try to guess my name
You can save it for a lady single
Running up like a local hero
You won't be here tonight
I can tell you that I'm overjoyed
Nothing more will happen to you

[Metalhead Cow]

"The place I sleep"! Wow, this whole time I thought it was "the place I seek".
Cool lyrics on this ep, though. It's funny to read the lyrics for Friends Before Larry and A Really Long Wait back to back.

[EvilNewWarGod]

"mini tone monster"- I was really hoping he was saying "million toed monster", that leaves a great image in my mind.

I know it was posted somewhere, but where/how were these lyrics released again? facebook or something?

also, is this the only Melvins album that has had official lyrics released for it? any ever come with some vinyl versions or something?

The youtube vids that Scion posted for the songs had lyrics in the notes section of the vid

[Hot Pants]

oh yeah crazy. just found the official vids posted by Scion. the lyrics are right in the comments section. I wonder how all that came about? seems odd.

can anyone answer the second part of my question regarding other lyrics that were actually released by the band (assuming the band ok'd the lyrics for Bulls & Bees)?

[Rene They Call Him]

I don't think these came from the band.   If nothing else to line from We Are Doomed (fav on the release, btw) is "No one cares and no one will forgive you."

The Ozma/Gluey Porch Treatments CD came with lyrics to songs on Ozma. Eggnog came with snippets of lyrics to each song. And there are a few words/phrases in the artwork to Pigs Of The Roman Empire. Uhh...I think one issue of Pissing In The Wind included some hand-written lyrics to songs from Eggnog and maybe another album? Houdini has lyrics to Hooch. I think I'm forgetting something but that's a start.

Around the time of Stag Pissing in the Wind had some lyrics from songs on there.
