 Well Emmybear, after the V Festival transcription, you are my #1 Keane Transcriber TTS; see if this helps: http://infotaupe.blogspot.com/2009/09/keane-sovereign-light-cafe.html

 

hurray!

 

lol Maayani!  I'm quite flattered, but Mart has got a great transcription of the lyrics to this song earlier in this thread.  They're pretty spot on, really.  But don't forget they may be subject to change as the song is still pretty new according to some accounts from other boardies and what they've heard from the band. 

Thank you though. :P 

Love,

Emmybear, KTTTS :D

(I'm already feeling my ego getting bigger than this room...lol)

Ha ha Emmybear KTTTS you deserve it. I'll go look for the Mart thread now, cheers!

Hi all, posted this in the Kitchener show thread and people told me it's the best audio they've heard yet :)

Yup, definitely is - nice one! :)

Thanks to all mentioned above for doing all the hard work decipering this great new song, But after obsessively looking at all available vids so far, trying to lipread, I think I've found a couple of adjustments.

Yup, I'd say you're spot-on, after reviewing Ted's video - excellent work on those corrections! :)  I think that one line you weren't sure of is actually another Battle street-name - Marley Lane. So, here's a possibly definitive set of lyrics for a song that the band haven't finished writing, hahaha!

Credits to Marieke, Carly, Wrightk15 and anyone else who contributed to piecing it together!

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
When we thought about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
Or I'm turning back home and I'm walking away
I'm a better man now than I was that day

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the North Trade Road,
Look for you on Marley Lane
In every building, every streetlight
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la
Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name
La la la la la la la la
Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name

On one of the videos from Montreal, it sounds like Tom is singing, "...every building, every street sign". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEQDoCmE888

THANK YOU obsessive Keane fans, where would I be without you? It's great living in the States, I get to read everything when all the work is already done lol ;)

She did seem a little short on time, didn't she?

 
WOW you're so right about the Springsteen song!!! How odd. Mart you rule all of our respective worlds, around the globe (this specific one in the great NYC).

 Hey, here is the place itself! la la la. http://www.discoverbexhill.com/restaurants/reviews.php?rid=24

I wonder what "cream teas" are?

Thank you so much to all who recorded and shared this amazing song. I can't stop lstening to it!

 I absolutely love this song!  Thanks so much to everyone for sharing your videos and for spending time working out the lyrics - those who saw it performed live were so lucky - I'm looking forward to that for the future!

I think the song is a total joy - very warm & uplifting and yet another Keane song where the melody gets lodged in your head and won't budge (then again, that happens all the time for me with Keane). What a great idea to leave us with a taste of something new at the end of the world tour. I'm already looking forward to what comes next - bring it on (after a nice long rest/holiday of course - don't want the band to get too worn out!).

I think she's lonely.  Probably too tired to talk, too.

A "cream tea" is a cup of tea and a scone with jam and cream.  Lovely
