LYRICS:
****
Met a dancer
Who was high in a field
From her movement
Caught my breath on my way home
Couldn’t stop that spinning force I felt in me,
Everything around seemed to giggle glee
She walked up with a flower and I cared
Found a dancer
Who gets wild to the beats
of the rhythm
But I’m always away for weeks that pass slow
My mind gets lost
Feeling envy for the kid who’ll dance despite anything
I walk out in the flowers, and feel better
….If I could just leave my body for the night….
Then we could be dancing
No more missing you while I’m gone
There we could be dancing,
And you’d smile and say, “I like this song”
And when our eyes will meet there
We will recognize nothing’s wrong
And I wouldn’t feel so selfish
I won’t be this way very long
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
While we were dancing
Early hours
Drunken days finally ended
And the streets turned for a pillowcase
Then I fumbled our good lock
Then the ecstasy turns to rising light
Through our windowpane
Now I’m gone
I left flowers for you there

Actually, Avey and Deakin themselves admitted to taking psychedelics on the Collected Animal’s forum a few years ago…

I was really …
I was really dissapointed that they didn’t play this when i saw them, one of favourites on the album..
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
I really like this …
I really like this version. maybe more than the album version.

no. read the rest …
no. read the rest of my post. i did not generalize. also, i dont have nuts.

“drugs are great” …
“drugs are great” is a generalization…num-nuts
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
I did read an …
I did read an interview with them though when they said they “dont write the music when stoned, usually”
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
I agree. The way I …
I agree. The way I found out about them not using drugs, was by researching on whether they use drugs or not, because like you said, they do seem to have a drug kind of style. Take Peacebone’s video for example. That definately isn’t something you see everyday. Lol. And in a lot of their songs, their lyrics don’t make any sense. I was surprised when I heard them say they don’t use drugs haha.

well there we go, i …
well there we go, i was wrong. the reason i said they probably do is that their stuff often seems as though it could have been inspired by trips possibly, but yeah im glad they said the part about not making music to enhance people’s trips. sure it will probably enhance your trip immensely, but there is SO much more to it than that. i’ve never listened to them on drugs and i am still blown away every time i hear them. so very creative and experimental; the world needs more music like this.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
In an interview, …
In an interview, they said “No, we don’t do drugs. No, we don’t make music soley to enhance someones trip, and yes, we are tired of the question.”
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
the original from …
the original from the album has techno music in the chorus YAAY
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
how many times do …
how many times do you live? one. do drugs if you want to. dont do them if you dont want to. also, dont generalize, SOMETIMES people die from CERTAIN drugs. drugs are great, if you’re not a ing idiot about it.
also, i cant help but think that AC do indeed take drugs. sorry to burst your bubble. (correct me if im wrong folks, i havent heard any member confess to this)
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
Drugs arent great …
Drugs arent great and you shouldn’t talk like that. People die because of them. Think of it a bit…
And i hope AC dont take them…
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
I’m not trying to …
I’m not trying to argue whether this version is good or not, good is subjective and therefore different for everyone. If you don’t like it, that’s completely fine with me. I’m just saying they’re the artists, they can play it however they want. Likewise, I’m not saying this version is in fact better, I just can’t stand when I pay money to see a band and all they do is rehash the CD the exact same way I’ve heard it so many times before. If I wanted to hear the CD, I’d listen to the CD.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
They weren’t …
They weren’t experimenting, just omitting. Everything was good except Geo just decided to not put in the best part of the song: The thundering almost horse galloping bass in the climax. Ya know the that makes you move.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
Ok get them to play …
Ok get them to play it without Geologist, see how good it sounds. If you want to hear the album version, listen to the CD. I think it’s refreshing to see a band willing to experiment with their own work and try something new, that’s why I go to live shows.
