Anyone who continues to say that Noel isn't a good lyricist or that his lyrics mean nothing, doesn't "get" Noel, and never will. All these lyrics are classic Noel, too.
And, for what it's worth, The Dying of the Light is one of the most beautiful tracks Noel has ever done. Everything about that track, fucking hell.

I actually think The Mexican Lyrics in the chorus are:
Thought I was talking about a new religion

In regards to the listed lyrics for the song "The girl with x-ray eyes" In the Chorus:
"So she took me by the hand
We followed clues left in the sand
as she swallowed space and time
We gathered, pulled, and swam
She shot me to the sun,
like a bullet from the gun..."
I don't hear the word swam when I hear the song. To me the word sounds like it rhymes with time. Hand and Sand rhyme and so do Sun and Gun. It would make more sense Time would rhyme with something at the end of the next line. Anyway it does sound like it starts with an s sounding word. But for the life of me I have no idea what the word could be. Anyone else not sold on swam being the word Noel sings? If anyone with has a better idea of what the lyric actually is I would love the feedback. Thanks

Thanks to crossfire from Supernova Heights forum, we have the lyrics from the Japanese edition. In The Girl With The X-Ray Eyes it's "As she swallowed space and time we gathered pearls and swine" i.imgur.com/bA5Vnip.jpgDo The Damage i.imgur.com/MxWsnVT.jpg |

Isn't pearls for swine a common expression in English?

I thought it was, "We gathered, pulled, that's why she shot me to the sun"

Are there more scans of the lyrics? What does "if love's what it's all about, it's soul I'm chopping out" on Do the Damage mean? |

I have no idea what it means so it reads a bit weird. I don't think of poetic stuff when I read the word "swine".
And when I read "we gathered pearls and swine" I envisage Noel and some chick greedily grabbing a pearl necklace and chasing a swine on a beach for some reason.

Casting pearls before swine. I don't know if it's "common" enough or not but I've heard it all my life, and I'm from Pakistan, so... Really? I'm from the UK and never heard of it! Maybe that's just me. |

Thanks. Are there more scans of the lyrics? What does "if love's what it's all about, it's soul I'm chopping out" on Do the Damage mean? Yes, crossfire posted all the scans. All thanks to him Thanks a lot. Still have no clue what "it's soul I'm chopping out" means. |

I hear the line in Riverman's chorus as "When the Riverman rows"... I dunno, might just make more sense in my head due to the title of the song  Damn you Noel! |

Damn you Noel!
