Help Myself Lyrics

Unread post by MWR » Wed May 14, 2003 7:31 pm

First off I just want say great site and I love the new design. I actually found this site a while ago and it certainly has come into its own. Anyway for the lyrics to Help Myself I'm pretty sure he says "dangerous showers" as opposed to "hours". I gathered this more from the preceding lyric: summer rain burns holes in the flowers. I could be wrong and if I am just disregard this. He may say both I don't know.
Thanks again for the awesome site.

Help Myself

A hungry boy
In a town of one hundred more
The food is out the door
Makes me want to help myself, help myself

A river red
Pouring from the side of his head
A bullet through the brain
Make him feel different today

Oh colder grow the days
Oh much faster pass the years by
'Til we die

A treasure not my own
I take it, took it, nobody will notice
Well that suits me well
Big house, big yard, help myself, help myself

Every once in a while
To help the helpless comes into style
The mercy mercy mile
1-800-help-myself, help myself

Oh, colder grow the days
Oh, much faster pass the years by
Oh, colder grow the days
Oh, much faster pass the years by
'Til we die

Summers here we're swimming in the river
Summer rain burns holes in flowers
Dangerous hours
Dangerous hours
Dangerous hours

Every now and then
TV preacher tell of Heaven
Redemption for a penny a soul
1-800 help yourself, help yourself
Help yourself

Summer's here we're swimming in the river
Summer rain come down come down come down come down
Summer's here we're dancing in the daisies
Summer rain burns holes in flowers
Dangerous hours
Dangerous hours
Dangerous hours
-Jayme

Could it be possible that they are wrong? I think so. I'm listening to it right now (3-29) and he says showers. It makes more sense too. He could have said hours in that particular show but I think showers is a better lyric. Just a suggestion. :D

Well regardless of your opinion of what would be better I believe these are the correct lyrics. I just listened to the 3/29 show and I think what your hearing is him holding the s at the end of dangerous before saying hours. Listen ot the third time he says it in the song, its very obvious he says hours.

I just listened to the lost acoustics version and your right. It's alot more apperent on the LA version cause it's an sbd patch. I thought I was onto something but I guess not. Maybe I'll ad that in to give it my own twist. Thanks for putting me in my place. :wink:

Just trying to set you straight, not put you in your place, glad I helped though.
