Title: How Could I Know Lyrics?
Post by: ChiefOKONO on Sep 23, 2005, 08:18 PM
anyone tried to figure them out? i transcribed it as best i could.. let me know if you hear something different:


How Could I Know


Wanted to see your holy ness (?)
I wanted to feel the air come out
dirty thoughts occurred to me, baby
would've had em if i wanted

but all i could think of was last summer
and the one before that...

should've known better
all those old letters
i always wanted to read
would've been nice if my
old devices will just let me be...........

How could I know??..... x4

see you ridin home
with that nicotine filled smile
lay that down and roll with me now
air goes in sound comes out now

but all i could think of was last summer
and the one before that...

should've known better
all those old letters
i always wanted to read
would've been nice if my
old devices will just let me be...........

How could I know??....  x4

Outtro....

my take is

wanted to see your holy vow/mouth
wanted to feel the air come round
dirty thoughts occured to me there/then
coulda had em if i wanted

but all i could think of was last summer
and the one before that...

....

see you ridin home
with that nicotine filled smile
lay that down and roll with me now
air goes in sound comes out now
but all i could think of weas last summer
and the one before that

and yeah

I keep getting this song confused with "How Do You Know?".

just wonderin crowe, but did you hear "and the one before that" before you heard the version from the pre-order from any of the live versions? or from whenI posted? or did you hear it yourself? not tryin to sound cocky by asking that at all. But I never heard "and the one before that" before the Z version. I always thought it was "and the wonderful days/thing" before then, and then I heard the new version and it just clicked.

I this song isn't on the American version of the album, but would anyone agree that this song seems out of place in comparrison to the rest of the Z album?

Could somebody please send me this song? I bought Z the the day it came out because i didn't want to get it late and I couldn't pay the expensive shipping.  I'm just a poor college kid. Please??   Center6@cableone.net

I hate to be an ass about it, but it is very much available for purchase via Amazon or (i would assume soon) any independent record store on the Off the Record UK single. So go out and buy it, get a cool lookin single, and also get Chills for pretty cheap.
