Postcards From a Young Man Lyrics
I'm still working on some of the more indecipherable lines, but I have this so far...
Postcards From A Young Man I don't believe the absolutes anymore I quite prepared to admit I was wrong This life is such a beautiful delay You have to fight again... These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again It is like so many other things ????? for my sins So sad, alone and so derelict ???????? These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again I send you postcards every single day Just to prove I still exist ????? I will not give up, and I will not give in and will... These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again I won't reclaim the comfort, I won't reclaim the pain that was lost ??????? I will not give up and I will not give in ??????? I will not give up and I will not give in

Some Kind of Nothingness
The sky is falling in on you Crushed any happiness you knew ?????? It's cold and it's beautiful(?) Remember you, stretched out in the sun All alone forever, confusions forgone(?) If you find some kind of nothingness Still and lonely like an old school photograph Stretch yourself out under the stars ???? A fitting end to your reign But baby that's your only friend Remember you, stretched out in the sun All alone forever, confusions forgone(?) If you find some kind of nothingness Still and lonely like an old school photograph Your furture glories all empty and cold Just beauty doing nothing at all It's what you wanted, it's what you got You found a substitute that's yours Just beauty doing nothing at all ?????. Never stop Never stop Never stop Never stop Remember you, stretched out in the sun All alone forever, confusions forgone(?) If you find some kind of nothingness Still and lonely like an old school photograph

(Final chorus has choir more prominent) Remember you, stretched out in the sun All alone forever, conclusions forgone If you find some kind of nothingness Still and lonely like an old (JDB only) old (choir back-ups) school photograph **This/just hard to tell - sounds like this but could be just. |

Seems like Mr Bad Ambassador knows a little bit more than the rest of us do

He's also got about 30 private messages now I'd imagine.

Well that's what happens when you make it obvious that you've heard the new songs enough to transcribe the lyrics in detail.

I started on that, but it's pretty unintelligible (on the live version at least).
