Yes Susan fine fellow, she is the best fan Amy! We are looking forward the continuation of the blockbuster. Happy journey, wish a good rest!

[CHCHANEL]

What, when are you going back???

I'm going the 27th December to 3rd of January. I really really really want to go to Jazz After Dark. Because I was ill we never got a chance to go there. :< Sadly.. This time I'm going with my mother and spending New Year's. She also wanted to leave a message for Amy at her home. I think that is adorable. Mom <3

Wow, New Years in London - now I'm even more jealous of you than before Have a good time! And thanks again for all the photos from your last trip.

[Cecilia]

ChChanel, thanks for the report and videos and the pictures from your trip to London. I was really touched by the bit you wrote about there being a candle burning when you went to Amy's house, it's sad but comforting.
I hope you have a good time when you come back in december. London gets pretty hectic on New Year's

Gosh, I can imagine. But we pretty much are expecting that. We spent christmas there our first visit to London. It was crazy, especially Oxford Street. Crazy! But we really truly love it there. And my mother loves boxing day

Thanks everyone once more & you're welcome! I will post more details as I think of them and I want you all to know I wish you were all there with me. But in many ways you were. & I'm glad. <3 ..corny as it may sound.

I've been listening to Amy's song over and over, the lyrics are so hard for me to figure out:(
This is what I could figure out, not sure though:
''.. just to stand up there infront of the world & i just can't sing those songs no more. oh amy, oh amy, you won't be 'round tonight.''

I found a much better recording than my own on youtube today. (I noticed 'cause this lovely person had favourited my clip too)
Thought I would post for you guys.
You're able to hear the words much better in this one.
I would really like one with better english skills than me to write down the lyrics.
I would totally love to have the lyrics & I know alot of others would like it too!

...made up eyes stuck behind the door
smoke and mirrors show the good time ? just stand up there in front of the world and I just can't sing those songs no more oh amy, oh amy, you won't be round tonight.


those aren;t from the beginning, it's just what I can make out from the first verse....am tired now but I too would like to decipher. I live w/someone that is hard to understand so perhaps after I've had some sleep and some of us brainstorm, we can make out most of the video. there is a 'f' you in there towards the end. listening to it w/earphones on and trying to lipread but it is hard. LOL

[Elsie]

I think in the beginning he says

lights behind your eyes
stuck behind the door

Then something like

but you're over it
and you're smoking it

No idea what he says after that... Then the chorus is

just to stand up there infront of the world
well i just can't sing those songs no more
oh amy, she won't be round tonight.

I think the eff you was;
...and say fuck you in the halls that you came in

Although it doesn't make much sense... That's all I could get. We should get Peter himself to decipher them, didn't he used to post on forums?
It's a beautiful melody, and I am sure the lyrics are great too, I hope he records it for his next album.

[Cecilia]

^I can't make out much more, at some point he sings something like "I was so happy in your arms last night"

[Elsie]

^I can't make out much more, at some point he sings something like "I was so happy in your arms last night"

I thought he said this fixed chord sounds so heavy in your arms. Yours deffo makes more sense though.

[ladyamy]

I can't understand the lyrics either. I think it's due to the poor quality of the recordings. I really hope we can see a better version. The melody is beautiful, btw.

[CHCHANEL]

And I thought he sang ''..I'm heavy but in your arms I'm small..''
I would love him to post the lyrics somewhere!
(or tunisianswife to try to figure it out, hehe) I would love to sing along.
There's another video I found just now @ French Dog Blog,
It's the 3rd video: http://frenchdogblue...g.blogspot.com/

" to stand up there in front of the world and say, 'f' you and the horse that you came in on oh amy, oh my you won't be round tonight."

that's the last line and actually heard it clearer without the earphones on.

we'll get this deciphered bit by bit.

elsie, that sounds correct going back to listen. will try more tomorrow after work.

I messed around with this in my audio program and made two different mp3 files. One has his voice slowed down and the other has his voice pitch raised up some.

I can't post full links yet due to not enough posts

The files can be downloaded ...

Petes Amy Song - Slowed Down
Go to... sendspace.com/file/cic1s8

Petes Amy Song - Higher voice
Go to... sendspace.com/file/rhv824

So, here's what I ended up with, not that it's right...

That's lights out, right
We all know the score
Must be as life's stuck behind the door

It's over this and it's lonely there
Show them that you've gone on with them just to stand up there in front of the world
Well I just can't sing those songs no more
Oh me, oh Amy, and you won't be 'round tonight

That's sadly right
We all know the score

I'll miss this cause I'm so happy in your arms outside
Go to the window and you'll wake up fast
Did you remember to smoke that thing tonight
That will be no more

Stand up there in front of the world
Just can't sing those songs no more
Oh me, Amy, you won't be 'round tonight

Stand up in front of the world saying fuck you and the horse that you came in on
Oh me, oh my, you won't be 'round tonight

^Wow Uno, well done, thank you for taking the time to do that! You did an awesome job there, and most of that seems to make sense, but I do think that at the end he sings "Fuck you and the horse that you came in on" like Tunisianswife said, just because that's a fairly common expression.
