Which version do you think is closest to the real lyrics?


SEEKERS WHO ARE LOVERS (VERSION 1)
Brush by gracefully
A love as big as a risk
Fills you up
And you can't look on
The breath of god in my mouth
A love you can taste
God get some paste
He and I, breath to breath

Clothed in saliva
Healing thru your arm
I cant stop hungering for the worst

I forgot the use
My head fall out the sky
And crashed into my palms
Jesus God valentine

Love
On the tip of it
The old rivers lack of other sweet scents
So sweet
You are a woman just as you are a man

Creeping on the Gas
Is a magic love, like,
Like a Flights, clouded peak
I was choking on the blood
Whose camouflages, lack of soul
Whose misty fire, muses soul

Kneeling by the harm
Which is promising the way
His poor essence, under the truth
love and heart polish itself
I slid my heels but slowly ran
So send Lucifer into hell

SEEKERS WHO ARE LOVERS (VERSION 2)

Let's fight gracefully
A love as big as a risk fills you up
And I get with one
The breath of God in my mouth
A love I can taste God gets some haste
He and I, breath to breath
Close saliva, heated through your love
I can't stop hungering for otherness
I forgot the use,
My head fell out of the sky and crashed into my palms
Jesus God valentine

Love
on the tip of it
Peel open us like a mother's sweet scents
Some see
You are a woman just as you are a man

Creeping along, just us
Is a magic love like, like a flights clouded peak
I was choking on the blood
It camouflages lack of soul
Whose misty fires muses soul
Kneeling by the pond
Which is frozen anyway
His poor essence under the truth
Mud and heart polish itself
I stick my heels in and swear you will
Soon send Lucifer in to hell

Love
on the tip of it
Peel open us like a mother's sweet scents
Some see
You are a woman just as you are a man

Love
on the tip of it
Peel open us like a mother's sweet scents
Some see
You are a woman just as you are a man

I once translate this into Chinese. here's the version i used


Breeze by gracefully
Your love as big as a risk fills you up
And I get with one
The breath of God in my mouth
A love I can taste God get some paste
He and I
Breath to breath
Close saliva, heated through your own
I can't stop hungering for otherness
I forgot the use,
My head fell out of the sky and crashed into my palms
Jesus sky valentine
Love
we're on the tip of it
They open us like a mother- sweet sex
Some see
You are a woman just as you are a man
Tripping on gas
Is a magic lovely
Like a flight, clotted peak
I was choking on the blood
It camoflauges lack of soul
Boost messy frames of soul
Kneeling by the pond
Which is froze anyway
His poor essence under the truth
Mud and heart polish itself
I slid my heels and swear you will
Soon send Lucifer into hell
Love
On the tip of it
You open us like a woman split sex
Some see
You are a woman just as you are a man
Love
On the tip of it
You open us like a woman split sex
Some see
You are a woman just as you are a man

I like not knowing for sure so I can then modify the lyrics to fit my mood but I've always thought the First line was : Dislike disbelief
I agree with the second line and the third I've always leaned to : And the guilt will burn

This to me has always been a beautiful song about devotion.

Version 1. You can hear the lyrics a lot better on the live version.

I like looking at them, but it does the same to me.

She's saying "sweet sex"- you can clearly hear those hard X's. Funny, I'm writing about that song on my blog right now. It's part of my 10 year effort to understand Jeff Buckley's insanely spooky death and all of the crazy premonitions before it.

That and the fact that liz is part alien.

ya know I've always subscribed to the belief that she in fact changes the lyrics to whatever she feels at the time. A true impovationalist and sort of like the jazz and blues singers with the bee-bop doodly ooo wah type of lyrics.

In the live version there I hear... Love on the tip of it I'm Hopeless Like My Mom Always Said, some seek you are thoughtless as you are a man.


then the second time that chorus come around I hear her sing
you are heartless as you are a man

I like the way everyone hears different lines, I always thought it was "Love - politic of air...you are a woman just as you are a man". I do like the uncertainty.

but liz always sing sth. different from the album version on live. like Iceblink-Luck on March 4, 1994 Atlanta, USA Roxy Theatre, she sings "f*** u, f**** u a!!" at the end of it!!
