Agh ! I've been, for about a month now, trying SO hard to work out the lyrics to 'Damaris', so that I can cover it without looking like a numpty.
But some of the lyrics are impossible, I swear ! For example, in the first verse, all I can hear is 'moles make mounds'?! Aaaaaaggghhhh.
Anyone help?
This'll probably end up being a thread devoted to embarrassing lyric hearings.
xxxxxxxxx

"I was more than my Fathers son" from Damaris, thats all I could really make out.

Here's my attempt at Hard Times lyrics:
Dig your ditches
count my stiches
generation justice wishes for
world at war
final score
mediocre??
but these hard times
we'll work harder, harder
through these hard times
I work harder, harder
Divided nation
in sedation
overload of information
that we have grown up to ignore
mediocrity applauded
but these hard times
we'll work harder, harder
through these hard times
I'll work harder, harder
For Resolution
show me your
revolution
this battle will be won
Forced to count the hours
since two towers
learn to fish in those higher powers
bringing guns to war
keep the score
ignorance is still adored
and through these hard times
we'll work harder, harder
give me hard times
I'll work harder, harder
For Revolution
hard time for some
resolution
time for some
revolution
this battle will be won
Work harder, harder, harder now
if they only see you with their fear
and they only hear you with their pride
and they only see you with their fear
and they only hear you with their pride
they work harder, harder, harder, harder
harder, harder, harder, harder
hard times.

Divided nation sounds right to me. I'm not sure about the other one though, doesn't sound exactly like what you said to me but I don't think mine is right either.
Also I did write most of this before from a live version and just changed a few things from listening to the actual version twice so their are bound to be other things wrong.

Yeah, Hard Times is so confused. I always hear 'mediocrity' and I think it only comes up once. 'Divided nation' sounds right to me, too x |

Here is also my attempt at Damaris from a few live versions, it's quite difficult to work out so lots of it is probably wrong.
Black rain
floods the downs
?
moles make mounds
round your bones
deep underground
nobody knows, nobody knows
how I wait for you
summer, spring
autumn, winter here
perishing
?just say/gypsy? spring
leap? of ?
no one can say
that you came from
deep in my arms
you belong
nobody knows, nobody knows
how I wait for you
summer, spring
Autumn, winter here
perishing
My god damn Damaris
killed with last kiss
god damn Damaris
I loved you
My god damn Damaris
killed with last kiss
god damn Damaris
I loved you
I loved you
God damn these tears,
this religion,
for I was more,
than just my father's son
say something bold??
be where've you gone
but nobody knows, nobody knows
How I wait for you
summer, spring
autumn, winter here
perishing
Wait for me
My god damn Damaris
killed with last kiss
god damn Damaris
I loved you
My god damn Damaris
killed with last kiss
god damn Damaris
I loved you
I loved you
And now I kiss
I kiss the earth (rise up, rise up, rise up now for you)
I smashed my fist
into the mud? (rise up, rise up, rise up now for you)
rise up, rise up etc.
the black rain,
floods the downs,
the black rain etc.

When I listened to one version I thought it said religion and another i thought said furniture, but listening again I think it is religion, plus that makes more sense.

This is as close as I can get  I'm sure some of it is wrong, especially 'on and on' Weary from the war as I stumble into fortune, Strike it real with a witch and cut off her head. With pockets full of gold, boy, I journey into town, And trade my scuffed boots for bribes and Burberry. Became the talk of the town, though a I fed the poor with the kings cutlery. Locked in towers behind walls comes some divination. Where true love was promised to me. On and on, Black Dog, burning eyes, Come carry you here to my room, Dark to one spark and I have your heart, But as quick as you come you’re always gone so soon. And now I live alone in this dirty old attic, My friends have no strength to climb up the stairs, So in the dark I spark a small box of tinder, And your love is _______ On and on, Black Dog, turning eyes, Come carry you here to my room, Dark to one spark and I have your heart, But as quick as you come you’re always gone so soon. Why does no flame here last for long? No spark rides dark for long, A thousand kisses are no Judas kicking into stop me, From trying to start a fire, Start the fire, deep down in me. |

Seems right to me, thanks!
I reckon the first gap might be "remained mute", but I'm not sure about that.
