Auto Intoxication

The recording of Auto Intoxication is floating around.
So if you have already heard it...
What do you think of it?

And what do you think the correct lyrics are?

This is my first take on them:

Quote:
The more I want to be me
The less I know myself
The living left to die
A ... approaching life

Welcome to your ... (safe trace?)
...that illusion that ...
How the hell do we find each other
Suffering auto intoxication

But this ..... (coming ...) [I definitely hear "this asteroid that's coming down" here ]
I'm so lucky and think that I'll survive

I am what I am, my body belongs to me
My work will set me free and fullfill my dreams
...breaks ... and ruins
It makes us stronger and suits our fears

This is what I got:

The more I want to be me
The less I know myself
The living left to die
While ghosts are brought to life

Welcome to the new slave trade
Drained of delusion and buried in debt [thanks to Tidus for this line]
How the hell do we find each other
Suffering auto intoxication

But this asteroid is coming; its already arrived
I'm so lucky, I think that I survived

I am what I am, my body belongs to me
My work will set me free and fullfill my dreams
A new economy embraces or ruins
It makes us strong and suits our fears


Awesome song! The best I've heard yet.

I see the coins that were your eyes

I can't think, and I can't paint, I can't love!
And no one will, for money makes us up

Death to monetaries!

Wow...This song is now easily my favourite.

Proof that the '30 second snippets' shouldn't be bothered with.

Alright!!!!

First I thought it sounded like a run of the mill b-side but when it kicks in - wow! Get the Hunky Dory/Sgt Peps vibe but it also sounds pretty militant.

It's probably my favourite - it seems like the link between JFPL and this album. That chorus really does have some fire and bite to it.

"Welcome to the new slave trade, drained of delusion and buried in debt" was my take on it.

I told you the clips didn't show off the best bit!

I detect a faint hint of sarcasm... Napoleon. Seriously I head out of town tomorrow for a weak into my JD Salinger esque bunker. I desperately want to hear this album today!

If there is a god.. well he'll probably screw me over but still it would be nice for a taste of the album
