Isn't the Cabinessence site a good place for Beach Boys lyrics? I thought so, but I think the ITBOMM lyrics are wrong.

I'm blessed with everything
A world to which a man can cling
So happy (at?) times when (that?) I break out in tears
In the back of my mind I still have my fears

I live my life with (for?) her
Love her true she knows I'm sure (I should?)
I make her happy just living so plain
In the back of my mind I'm 'fraid it's gonna change

I tried to run far (a?)way from thoughts
I should ('nt?) try to keep away
But they just keep coming back to me
I tried to rationalize
But some day I might realize
That things are just good the way they'll be
I know it's so hard to find
A girl who really understands your mind
What will I do if I leave (lose?) her
It will always be way in the back of my mind

The last one I think is the most obvious. How can you NOT hear "lose"? It's pretty important for me to hear the correct lyrics here since it's one of my favourite BB songs, so please tell me what you think.

Just going from memory, but I believe that you are correct on all counts. Still, not as bad as CCR's "There's a bathroom on the right.", instead of "There's a bad moon on the rise." Wink

The Brianista Prayer

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat

Cabinessence is a great place for lyrics. Even if there's a mistake here and there. In this case (ITBOMM) I think you're right on those corrections.

It could make a great topic on the Shut Down board to get all those lyrics perfect, wouldn't you think? Something similar to the Definite Vocal Credis thread of a few years back on this board.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

It's "...someday I might realize that things are just gonna be the way they'll be" if that helps...

It doesn't get better than...

"Well since she put me down/There's been owls jumpin' in my bed".  Grin

"Love her true, she knows I'm sure" is correct

Right - look at the rhyming scheme; I doubt they would deviate so much by using a word that doesn't rhyme with "her".
