Changed/added Lyrics During Live Shows

Recommended Posts

Also, these are both incorrect. The line in the album is "In the wilderness, the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary." And the live version is "In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary; under the English F"

You might want to give your album another spin then because the line is absolutely "In the wilderness, the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary, under F. Men in holes, men in caves..." etc

A couple of slight changes...

 

Haven't Slept in Years in maybe '99/'00 (played atleast twice anyways):

 

"Make me your cannibal

make me your product and i will make you rich"

Matt adds a spoken "like the Backstreet Boys" or something similar...

 

 

My favorite lyric adjustment is no longer done, this would have been a while ago too in Everything is Automatic:

 

"One day you'll decompose

And you wake up and those

Those birds are singing"

 

Instead of repeating "Those birds are singing" The line was

"Here I am... here I've always been" and then back into the familiar chorus.

 

You guys are great for posting all your boots & lyrics, thank you!

Oh, I know. I just cut it short when I was writing it.

That is also one of my faves. I may have a bootleg of that somewhere now that I think of it.

 

In Future is X-rated:

 

Power's just another one of those things baby, it's pointless if you ain't gunna abuse it.

When I saw Matt Good in a full band concert he sung 21 Century living but only the chorus. No ranting, not talking, just instrumental, then the chorus. It was a little disapointing.

I've seen a video from one of his live shows and am diggin that version of it. Does anyone have an mp3 of a live version of 21st Century Living they are willing to share?

I prefer the "power's just another one of those things baby, it's pointless if you ain't gonna whip it out and use it" line myself.

In Apparitions:

 

"Where you used to be, kinda free, are they laughin' at ya like they're laughin' at me"

THANK YOU! I knew there was a spoken word one that I LOVED and it was killing me that I couldn't think of what the song/line was... Is that how it's done in the Snowjob 99 show that I haven't listened to in years?

does anyone know the full lyrics for the newer, longer live version of She's In It For the Money?

in love with your pills

now i can get rid of myself

if all of this kills

then why am i so hard on myself?

in this town when the sun goes down

you party, i pay the bills

and in this i look around at everything i've built

and it don't mean a thing

ain't it terrible to think?

 

she's in it for the money, you know

love don't cost a thing

you can build your heart a diamond

and it don't need no ring

it gets me lying sideways, and everytime i sing

she's in it for the money, you know

love don't mean a thing

 

patty, shine a light down on me tonight

too tired to charge and die, and not take nothing

patty, shine a light down on me tonight

straight down on me tonight...

 

in love with your pills

tried to get rid of myself

a little red, a little blue

climb the wall, how 'bout you?

and it don't mean a thing

ain't it terrible to think?

 

she's in it for the money, you know

love don't cost a thing

you can build your heart a diamond

and it don't need no ring

it gets me lying sideways, and everytime i sing

she's in it for the money, you know

love don't mean a thing

I dunno what bootleg I have of it, but I'll upload it somewhere when I get home from work for you. I'm pretty sure I've heard it sang that way during MGB shows that I've gone too, but there's been a few of those LOL

Well it was a pretty basic lyric, listening to a few recordings here is what I hear:

 

 

He didn't play it at the 2003 Vancouver show; I have it appearing on the following recordings:

2002-05-19 (Cayuga)

2002-09-13 (London)

2002-09-14 (Halifax)

2003-04-11 (Toronto)

2003-07-16 (St. Catherines)

2003-07-19 (Sarnia)

 

Of those the April 11/2003 one is the best sounding, so go to it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=985D36X1 (8.4MB). This is also a great song because just as the song starts rocking Matt yells "Rich" into the mic and continues to give it. I'm not sure why, but that one moment stands out as a favorite of MG recordings.

 

You wouldnt mind posting it again would you?
