Lyrics posting

Last minute posting of stuff for this day's post. Just wanted to post some lyrics from some songs of interest to me. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is one of my most liked songs in the Kill Bill soundtrack and more so for its use in the duel scene with Black Mamba and Cottonmouth of said movie. It goes like this:

Don't Let Be Misunderstood (Santa Esmeralda version)

Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel real bad.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know,
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I get my share,
And that's one thing I never mean to do

'Cause I love you,
Oh,

Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

FADE
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good



This second song was more of a challenge to me by my friend Vincent Simbulan since the mention of how unintelligible the song of "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners go in the 80's. Of course, hearing a remake version sang by the female vocals from the band Save Ferris makes its more motivated for us 80's fans to beg the question: "Do the lyrics get heard better and more clearly compared to it originally sung by its parent band?" I went about it on researching the lyrics online to find out. And here it is.

Come On Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners)

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing jsut like our fathers

Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen

I did find some slight lyric variation with the Save Ferris version and the No Doubt version. Pretty startling divergences for such a well-remember though muddled in lyrics department for a rockabilly song, eh? I hope I got my mission down on the lyrics question for "Come On Eileen". Smiles Next time.
