[walking proud]

I guess so you can compare?

Pride, Bold and Delicious, Ladies Night, Every Step [rainy day], Beautiful Girl [beautiful day], In the corner

Even though I'm a native English speaker I couldn't understand her in some parts for the life of me; if someone can help me out that'd be great


===================================


Ladies Night

"Good morning class! Here are ten simple ways to get rid of a lazy boyfriend"

Leave him like he leaves the dishes
Stain him like he stains his shirts
Ignore him like he ignores the lawn
Make him watch you while you flirt
Kick him, bite him, slap him, hit him,
Tie him up, put him in the trunk,
Drug him, bug him, slug him, mug him,
Wash your hands throw him out with the junk

Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Put your lipstick on, it’s ladies night
Kick you manolo blankits high, it’s ladies night

Mind you he will cry and he will beg
Say all the things he never said
But he will never feel much smaller
Till he sees you with someone taller!
So watch your diet, read those books!
And don’t give him a second look!
And when you’re sad go out with the girls
And know tonight you don’t have to cook

Put your lipstick on, it’s ladies night
Kick you manolo blankits high, it’s ladies night

You can't(???) lose him, can't replace him [danger]
Hate him, then even so
You don't ever [need to]
think you can't leave him [need to] ......

Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Put your lipstick on, it’s ladies night
Kick you manolo blankits high, it’s ladies night

Put your lipstick on, it’s ladies night
Kick you manolo blankits high, it’s ladies night


===================================


Every Step [rainy day]

In every crowded room
In every lonely bar
The faintest trace of you everywhere
Or on a busy street
When someone laughs like you
Oh the memories conquer me
And I give in

Chorus:
Every step I take
Every move I make
Every strange new face
You are there
Every song I write
Every stair I climb
Every cold dark night
You are there

Your scent still in my clothes
Your opinions in my head
Searching faces for the one
I can’t forget
How do you paint it black?
How do you turn your back?
On every single dream
That you believed

Chorus

You’re the face that gets lost in a crowd
You’re the strength in my bones when I’m down
And your memory’s like steel in my mouth
In every breath
you are there

Chorus


===================================


Pride

Are you happy now
Are you better off
Are you a bigger man
Are you loving it (tell me)

Your last words echo on
Does it still feel good, does it
Keep you warm
Does it ease the misery, the misery

Chorus:
Your pride, foolish pride
The battles won
Was it worth it?
You’re nobody’s fool now
You’re lonely but right

Do they think you’re strong?
Do they cheer you on?
Just cause you won the game
You put me in my place
Was it worth it all?
To just give it up
When I do anything for you

Chorus

Hey look at you
You’ve got it all
Still walking tall
You never fall
The one eyed King of the blind
It must be sweet to never beg
It must be nice to never crawl
To be good for it all

Chorus


===================================


Beautiful Girl [Beautiful Day]

Another magazine
Creates a dream that I can't reach
That I can't be
But I try to believe
Ooh yeah
Another label tells me
That it's just enough to be just me
They push those thoughts
Cause they're not pretty
What do you want

Just a beautiful girl
Just a beautiful girl
Is that all that you need tell me
What's a beautiful girl
What's a beautiful girl
Is that all that you see
With the perfect asses
and the perfect smile
So you never have to really try
Not a beautiful girl
Oh a beautiful girl
Isn't all that it seems

Another diet failure
Another night of you ignorin me
And the saddest (????)
And (????)
Oh yeah
You're not the glossy cover either
So why are you expectin' me to be
Cause you failed to see
My heart still beats
So why do you want

Just a beautiful girl
Just a beautiful girl
Is that all that you need tell me
What's a beautiful girl
What's a beautiful girl
Is that all that you see
With the perfect asses
and the perfect smile
So you never have to really try
Not a beautiful girl
Oh a beautiful girl
Isn't all that it seems

What's so damn attractive
About being a model(?)
Oh yeah
I know my beauty's in my story
Not one (???)

Tell me
Just a beautiful girl
Just a beautiful girl
Is that all that you see
With the perfect asses
and the perfect smile
So you never have to really try
Not a beautiful girl
Oh a beautiful girl
Isn't all that it seems


===================================


In the Corner

Can't see the writing on the wall
Though it's right in front of me
I don't know how long I could fall
This is in control of me

In the corners of my mind
You're standing at the door
In the corners of my mind
You're asking me for more
In the corners of my mind
You're right where you belong
In the corners of my mind
I see it all

Can't see the writing on the wall
Though it's right in front of me
I don't know how long I could fall
This is in control of me

In the corners of my mind
You're standing at the door
In the corners of my mind
You're asking me for more
In the corners of my mind
You're right where you belong
In the corners of my mind
I see it all

I don't know how long I could fall
This is in control of me

In the corners of my mind
You're standing at the door
In the corners of my mind
You're asking me for more
In the corners of my mind
You're right where you belong
In the corners of my mind
I see it all


===================================


Bold and Delicious

I’ll be your mother, secret lover, little sister
I can be anything you need
Under the duvet
You and me play
Let me be your Chippewa baby
But I gotta feel

Chorus
Bold and delicious
Then give me some lovin’
But make me feel
Bold and delicious
Gotcha, gotcha, where I want ya
Gotcha, gotcha, where I want ya
Gotcha, gotcha, where I want ya
Gotcha, gotcha, where I want ya
So don’t move

When we play doctor
Gonna shock ya with the feeling
And my flexibility
You’ll be spiderman
And make this mam say “Oh, god-damn”
This hero has spun a web for me
But I gotta feel

Chorus

New bold delish baby
Come have a dish of me
New bold delish baby
That’s where it’s at
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, ga ga ga ga, da da da da, whoa whoa whoa whoa
New bold delish baby
Come have a dish of me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, ga ga ga ga, da da da da, whoa whoa whoa whoa
New bold delish baby
That’s where it’s at

Chorus

I like ayu's version MUCH more better. It's not as cliche (Bold & Delicious, Every Step) and repetitive (Pride, Ladies Night).

Cheesy.............

I thought I posted the link to the lyrics yesterday or so. Oh wait, I did indeed.

^Will be updated with all of the lyrics soon, hopefully.
Sweetbox's lyrics are not "shallow," they have deep connotations. You can't just look at them literally.
But whatever, seems like lyrics with ambiguous messages are preferred here.
By the way, it's
In every crowded room
In every lonely BAR,
---
---
All the memories CONQUER me
----
-----
----
All the step I CLIMB
----
How to do TAKE IT BACK
How do you turn your back
And so on....

Wow, my "every step" is a bit off.

[miracleofsuzaku]

^The lyrics site got some parts wrong too. Maybe I should type one out too and see.
By the way, why make this thread when a majority of the folks here will consider Sweetbox's lyrics "inferior" and "shallow"? I hope you're not doing this deliberately to put Sweetbox down.

Every move I make,
Every strange new face,
You are there
Every song I write,
Every stair I climb,
Every cold, dark night,
You are there.

Your scent is still in my clothes,
Your pinions in my head,
Searching for the faces for the one,
I can't forget.
How do you take it back,
How do you turn your back
On every single dream you believed?

Every step I take,

You’re the strength in my bones when I’m down,

Ohhhhhh yeah,

Every strange new face,

Every song I write,
Every stair I climb,
Every cold dark night,
You are there.

Of course not. I actually like Sweetbox's lyrics, but I thought some people might be curious as to what the lyrics were.

[elepop]

"Pride" lyrics is the worst.

Most of the lyrics are really repetitive. It's annoying.

[norain]

I love how some people may be thinking "The lyrics suck!" but seriously, I at first said that too, but thinking about it, I wouldn't be able to write lyrics like this that seem so elementary...yet meaningful. And this IS another language you know...lol, not the hardcore meaningful TRANSLATED lyrics that most of us read.

Thank you norain, I couldn't have expressed it better. I was about to mention translated lyrics. At times, unofficial translators tend to "euphemize" lyrics, making them seem more grandiose.

But when you euphemize something is actually to make that thing seem less grandoise than they actually are. Plus transliterations usually make the lyrics lose their value much more than making them better.
And the fact we can't write such lyrics doesn't mean we can't criticize them. we're not lyricists in order to be able to create lyrics for a song, but we can have an opinion whether they sound good or not. Some of the lyrics sounds like Jade is a grown-up woman fighting for the love of some school kid

Sweetbox's version of Ladies Night is better than Ayu's version. Thats saying alot since Ladies Night is my favorite Ayu song.

Grandiose means grand and fancy.
My words stand. their lyrics can not be fully understood through literal denotations.

[ImpactBreaker]

Euphemisms are used to turn something shocking into something that sound less shocking or bad. Euphemism can also be full of redundancy as well in order to prepare the listener to get less shocked. If you euphemize the lyrics of an artist they get flat and lose their value. If the intent of the artist was to actually say something shocking the lyrics lose that part. i don't see how euphemizing lyrics makes them better

correct.

There are many idioms in languages and many are difficult to translate to English.

btw, Euphemize is a bad word choice for this.

[miracleofsuzaku]

To euphemize something is to turn something that appears to be mild or into something more adorned, at least that's how I learned it in English class . When I used "euphemize," I was referring to that particular meaning,

[miracleofsuzaku]

^Sorry about overreacting then -.-".

[ALPHY]

In Ladies Night's first verse, I think it's "Make him watch you while you flirt".
