Well, I think "Something Dangerous" and "Thirty-three Crows" are KS originals (or so I'm told...) Not quite sure about "I Ain't Got Nobody." Anyway in view of this here's the lyrics for "Something Dangerous":

quote:

SOMETHING DANGEROUS

Are we living on the inside
or the outside looking in
for some cheesy mother*ucker with an automatic grin
I don't need to pay the piper
he's a really good friend of mine
he says loves is just a joker and the harmony's divine

he says oh oh oh I wish that I could catch a drop of sleep
I am not afraid to weep
and I've been stoned, stoned, stoned
I've been stoned more than I ever thought I could
seeing faces in the dark
lightning written in the sparks
yeah there's something dangerous inside of me (inside of me)

She was posing for the camera
for the wicked witch's toad
who forgot to cook her supper
so she threw it in the road
then a chocolate-coloured vision
in an armour shining bright
took her up out of the gutter
and then vanished out of sight

She said oh oh I would trade my kingdom for a horse
oh but only if it's yours
and I've been stoned, stoned, stoned
I've been stoned more than I ever thought I could
seeing faces in the dark
lightning written in the sparks
yeah there's something dangerous inside of me (inside of me)

Yeah, we are trading
paths of glory
ridden far from home
we are desperate yet delightful
and so unknown, so unknown

and I said oh, oh oh I would trade my kingdom for a horse
oh but only if it's yours
And I've been stoned, stoned, stoned
I've been stoned more than I ever thought I could
but my heart is not afraid
I am guilty and enslaved
and there's something dangerous inside of me (inside of me)

But if love is all you need
you're the answer to my dreams
and there's something dangerous inside of me

I think that's more or less right, but feel free to correct me... I'll probably do the other two when I can be bothered, if no-one's told me that they're covers in the meantime.

Thanks!

Much appreciated drykid.

Sorry I'm confused here...what are these songs? Where did they come from?

They're from the Dr Joel and the Companeros set, see the SBE thread for some videos, and the Bristol thread for an audio recording...

I'm not so sure about these three songs now, since my source wasn't as authorative as I thought heh I think it's quite possible that they're KS originals though, more so in the case of "Something Dangerous" than the others, because the lyrics seem to fit Crispian's style more closely than the others. And if any of them are covers, then I've genuinely no idea who they're by.

Ah that makes sense as to why I don't know them, due to technical problems they didn't do that in Exeter!

I was worried there was a kula song I didn't know!

Please nobody shoot me....but I really thought that 'Something Dangerous' track had a Simon and Garfunkel sound about it!! (I'm not suggesting it's a cover of there's but that's the first thing I thought as soon as I heard it!) What do you think?? I liked it anyway!

There's a bit in the verse that specifically reminds me of "I Am A Rock", actually. And other bits of it remind of a song by The Coral whose name escapes me now. But they're only passing similarities, having said that.

Well, Dr Joel did say both times most songs are "never heard before" - and when they played Walking the Cow they did say it's a cover version.... so I would assume they're original Kula.

Also, I listened a bit more carefully to the "I Ain;t Got Nobody" lyrics, and I'm thinking it's an original Kula as well - the lyrics are just so Crispian!

Although they didn't announce "The Beatles" as a cover, so I'm not sure how much weight you can give to that (having said that, I guess that song might be considered a special case since 50% of the band who did write it were on stage at the time....)

That was my reasoning, too

Pfft well then you're guilty of not fully explaining your reasoning from the offset and thereby failing to achieve maximum clarity :P

*sobs in the corner*

These lyrics are very Crispian, so I'd be surprised if it's not an original. Hope the lyrics get a bit of an edit though!
