is there anywhere to find ten in the swear jar lyrics? i know the IBOPA site has a few, from songs that were performed by both, but I'm looking specifically for lyrics for "Dont Play the Drumz" and "Sita Deth"
i apologize for that fact that this has probably been posted before, but i couldn't find any thread with what im looking for in it..
thanks,
nick

that's a tough one.. since ten in the swear jar never had a website, and the liner notes are minimal at best, it looks like transcribing with a good set of headphones is the only way to go. you COULD e-mail jamie and ask, i guess
edit: actually, i started trying to transcribe, but sita deth is a bitch. have you started anything? between the two of us, he can probably get something close

i attempted to discern what i could from Sita Deth, some of the scream parts are too distorted for me to understand though, and the last line of the song trails off to the point that I can barely even tell that anythings being said
here's what i got, with [ ] marking parts i didn't get or wasn't quite sure about
ten in the swear jar - sita deth
my chest burns cause im so tired
i have to say goodbye to you now
my papa say [oh]
oh what papa say, i gotta know
just how it [will end]
i wish it was different
i with that things were regular
[s-] on me
say [h- h-]
i think about you all of my life
my tears are falling
[ ]
why has noone come to bring [ ]
i wish it was different
i wish that things were regular
i wish it was different
i wish that things weren't the same
[x2]
i'm working too much to write you any day
just follow me into the bathroom
i've spent [ ] to yourself
[ ]
-----
i cant even start on Dont Play the Drumz.. i keep thinking i hear 'que sera' (french for 'what will be') in the chorus but i'm fairly certain that's solely in my head

ok, i've fooled around with both of them. on sita deth, i've made a few changes from your, some of which i'm sure of, some not so sure (hence their parenthesis). as for don't play the drums, i've got a start, but it's kind of sad. hopefully someone else can figure out a bit more/ correct my mistakes and perhaps "Don't play the drums" will be more than pretty?  sita deth my chest burns, cause i'm so tired i have to say goodbye to you now why papa say oh oh what papa say, i gotta know just how it will end i wish it was different i with that things were regular [sperm?] on me say [hooker hooker?] i think about you all of my life my tears are falling oh, it's just a little too much why has noone come to bring [sita to my house? ] i wish it was different i wish that things were regular i wish it was different i wish that things weren't the same [x2] i'm working too much to write you (every?) day just follow me into the (backroom?} husband, when i die i'll (?sita?) to yourself [ ] Don't Play the Drumz don't play the drumz i'll walk this (??) off i don't (want the drama?) but my (??) you have the secrets in my head so say (?) i don't play the drumz chorus but i'll stay (one?) 'cause your heart is [?partly good?] and my hope i'm lookin' (?good?) i try (?? ?) at your heart at your part of mine cause i reached (?you've got..?) hello (drunk) at heart, when will this evolve? like i did before, 'cause i feel straight up (?more?) you might stay out late, (??) chorus X2 one question addicted: if you're working on lyrics for the xitsj album, have you worked out all of helsabot? i cannot figure out the line that comes after "do your pants ever just fall off" |

"[sperm?] on me
say [hooker hooker?]"
that's actually exactly what i thought when i was listening but it didn't seem correct, probably is though

this is gonna sound retarded, but i think the part you think says "hooker hooker" is "wakka wakka" like fozzi used to say on the muppets.  |

that's a tough one.. since ten in the swear jar never had a website p.s. dr. strangelove: ten in the swear jar did indeed have a web site, and it was pretty rad (choose your adventure style of navigation, joe did that web site as well as the current xiu xiu one) I don't think they ever posted lyrics, but there was a printed out booklet that I know exists with artwork that they sold at shows back in the day. I don't have it, but a friend does. I could look into it or I'm sure jamie would be more than willing to divulge lyrics. (who knows though, his opinions on talking about ibopa and xitsj on this forum probably vary) |

thanks for the correction. and yes, if you cold find one of those lyric sheets, it would help a lot of us p.s. dr. strangelove: ten in the swear jar did indeed have a web site, and it was pretty rad (choose your adventure style of navigation, joe did that web site as well as the current xiu xiu one) I don't think they ever posted lyrics, but there was a printed out booklet that I know exists with artwork that they sold at shows back in the day.

now that i finally have a copy of San Jose Fight Song.. if anyone has the lyrics for it that'd be awesome, though i'm guessing i'll have to hold off until someone finds a lyrics sheet

and yes i'm upset again today
??? for me to ???
it's embarrassing
it happens that much
???
i hate most of all
my LPs
??? in the arm
if and when you read
all my secrets
are you saying so?
cause that's when i'll mind
and yes i'm upset again today
it's embarrassing
happens that much
it's embarrassing
and yes i'm upset again today
??? for me to end
it's embarrassing
it happens that much
it's embarrassing
??? little bird
it depends on them
this mess that we're in
