oh man. are these revised Frail and Bedazzled lyrics correct?

Irrelevant · 12-02-2002, 02:17 AM

say, now listen here
i wanna be oh so clear
i lost myself
lost i'll stay
between your prayers and my belief
and here i am, frail
frail and bedazzled from all the glare

tug at my sleeve
my little girl, sweet marie
she don't know that i have
stole my smile from a cheshire cat
and all i wanted was to be a man
since i've gave up
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free

two of us less dangerous
it's all inside our heads
givin' in for nothin' less
leavin' me for you

try to understand
the ones i love and their demands
it's so unfair when they can't see
that i'm the boy who really needs
their love, i suppose

frail and bedazzled from all the
frail and bedazzled from all the
frail and bedazzled from all the glare

i can't believe i spent 7 years singing it wrong when all i had to do was listen to the 2/28/95 version of it more closely.

I still say it's "super maid". He does change things up live sometimes.

I think it's "two of us, that's dangerous."

..Er..I say it's "less dangerous"..and stop putting things in my head!!!

Irrelevant · 12-02-2002, 02:30 AM

plus, don't forget the guy who originally came up with "my little girl, supermaid" also put "she don't know that i am still a slob from a trash yard can"

DeviousJ · 12-02-2002, 10:50 AM

SUPER MAID is such a stupid lyric that I'm gonna go with Sweet Marie. Go RP

Anyways, I thought it was more like

say, now listen here
i wanna be oh so clear/make myself clear (probably the first)
i lost myself
lost i'll stay
between your prayers and my beliefs
and i am, frail
frail and bedazzled from all the glare

tug at my sleeve
my little girl, sweet marie
she don't know that i have
stole my smile from a cheshire cat
and all i wanted was to be a man
but since i've gave up
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free

two of us that's dangerous
it's all inside our heads
givin' in for nothin' less
leavin' me for dead

try to understand
the ones i love and their demands
it's so unfair when they can't see
that i'm the boy who really needs
their love, and support

The Pantsmaster · 12-02-2002, 11:24 AM

ah! so i am not crazy, i never bought that he said "super maid".

Smiley · 12-02-2002, 11:44 AM

I've always heard it as "two of us less dangerous". I never understood why anybody wrote it as "that's dangerous"...

As for the "sweet marie" thing, I like it. I never thought of that.

neopryn · 12-02-2002, 03:29 PM

I think it's "leaving me for him". But that's probably too straightforward for a b0lly lyric.

Peuloxian Cherub · 12-02-2002, 03:32 PM

aw crap... i heard "two of us, that's dangerous" as "you are lots less dangerous". but i never bought it... yeah

smashing0 · 12-03-2002, 12:14 AM

i was under the impression it was super man...
then again...
i never really paid close attention to these lyrics

shaniqua · 12-03-2002, 12:52 AM

frail and bedazzled from all the glam?

and yeah leaving me for him.

Junebug · 12-03-2002, 02:50 PM

I've always heard it as less dangerous....

and I thought "sweet marie" was "sweet beliefs"

. Doesn't make all that much sense I guess but...you know...my little girl (has) sweet beliefs or something. I like it my way better, hehe. Bummer.

hereisnowhy · 12-03-2002, 05:04 PM

Okay I've just been listening to it again, and I've decided it's not possible to tell. I'm sticking with "super maid" and "that's dangerous" just because I like them better.

Too many mustered lines, as they say.
