Post by: BH on Apr 28, 2006, 04:03 PM
Can anyone help me with the question marks?

Also, I am interested in any lyric interpretations from the early recordings if anyone has them or is interested in adding them to this post.

DOWNTOWN
if there was a place downtown.
that they talked about every day.
then i'd want to move uptown.
tell the microphone he can't play.
tell the acid man we don't want it.
tell the microphone he can't play.
tell the acid man we don't want it. oh noooo.
there's not alot that you can say.
to make the microphone (????????)
there's not alot that you can say.
to make the microphone (????????)

I am trying to challenge people to give me lyrics from other Early Recording songs.  Since they aren't on the website like the 4 studio albums.  This has been done for C&I but I havn't seen anything for the ER's.
