Lyrics (aka mondegreens)

This is a proud moment here at headquarters...

Our campaign to get Augie March to put their lyrics onto albums has succeeded... through our sheer utter wrongness, Glenn has had no other option available except to provide accurate lyrics, lest the world is tricked into believing the lyrics on this site...  Yet we press on, because there are still songs we can sully with our dirty hands *evil laughter*...

And so, we still require this disclaimer:

Do not take the lyrics as Holy Writ. I will not take responsibility for any embarrassment suffered if you happen to sing along, and discover that the words are wrong.  Or, worse, if you're presumptuous enough, the total humiliation which will ensue if you even consider attempting to correct Glenn on the lyrics.  "No, Glenn, I'm afraid you're wrong, I am _sure_ you should be singing 'sleep imperfection'..." You have been warned.

The songs which should be correct, as in they were copied from liner notes, are: all the songs on Sunset Studies, and all the songs on Waltz barring Rich Girl.

Thanks etc must go to the Augieans who have helped me decipher what lyrics I have.

I'm still working on the lyrics for the other songs - they're about half-finished, and in no fit state to be seen. When they are, I promise you will see them. Plus there are still undeciphered sections in the new and Memes songs - if you can help, drop me a line via email - the address is below.  Damn the band for writing songs faster than I can decipher them. (Yes, I am talking to you, Glenn)

You will also be interested to know that there is another Augie March fan site which is devoted to AM lyrics, as opposed to this site, which is a kind of Jack of All Trades. Click here to go there.

[Incidentally, I am on a campaign to screw Glenn's mind up so much that he ends up singing the lyrics that I've got here, rather than the lyrics he wrote. If you want to help me in my amusingly evil scheme (amusing for me, evil for Glenn), let me know.]
