While I completely disagree with the leaker's decision to leak the Nowels tracks (and this is in no way meant to excuse that person's actions) ultimately this was primarily Rick's fault or his web designer's. Considering the vast number of leaks Lana has had already, leaving unreleased tracks in the same public directories that the streaming music on his site streams from with the index pages accessible for months until rather recently was grossly negligent. Also, as a side note, these leaks were bad for everyone in the long run-- even people thirsty for leaks-- because it's quite possible additional tracks would have been posted either without password protection or with filenames that could have been guessed. If people could have waited at least until a tracklisting announcement, we could have had these leaks and possibly more without risking disrupting an album. This is why we can't have nice things.

Wasn't there already another thread like this somewhere? If anyone else can find it, I'll merge it. Also, is the purpose of this thread to be a handy reference to the actual song names of songs that commonly are referred to by other names, or a list of "legitimate" alternate titles (i.e. alternate titles that Lana herself used)? Either way there are some corrections to be made.

I don't. Link?

I paint my nails black I dye my hair a darker shade of brown Cause you like your women Spanish, dark, strong and proud And paint the sky black You said if you could have your way You'd make a night time [?] today So it'd suit the mood of your song Oh, what can I do? Nothing, my sparrow blue Oh, what can I do? Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue Sun and ocean blue Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you Black beauty, oh-oh-oh Black beauty, oh-oh-oh I paint the house black My wedding dress black leather too You have no room for light Love is lost on you I keep my lips red To seem like cherries in the spring Darling, you can't let everything Seem so dark blue Oh, what can I do? To turn you on or get through [to?] you Oh, what can I do? Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue Sun and ocean blue Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you Black beauty, oh-oh-oh Black beauty, oh-oh-oh Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, baby Black beauty, baby Oh, what can I do? Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue Sun and ocean blue Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

The lyrics to the song are like a bunch of bad similes. Love the first few bars of the instrumental before the vocals come in. Reminds me a lot of the Twin Peaks theme. Other than that it's not that great.

You smell like a million roses bathed in rock and roll Ours was the greatest love story ever told Throat like an angel with a voice that was made of gold That's my baby He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall A heart that would beat like a bass for his baby doll One in a million, inimitable soul That's my baby Young or old, summer or cold Young or old, summer or cold You've got a way, like JFK When you do it Yhe way that you move it Spins me round like a record, baby And you've got a soul Like no one I know You're so new at it The way you see through that shit Breaks my heart and drives me crazy He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall A heart that would beat like a bass for his baby doll Mind like a diamond, inimitable soul That's my baby Young or old, summer or cold Young or old, summer or cold You've got a way, like JFK When you do it The way that you move it Spins me round like a record, baby And you've got a soul Like no one I know You're so new at it The way you see through that shit Breaks my heart and drives me crazy It drives me crazy You've got it And I want it Like summer nights in July, flaunt it You know that you can always come home to the one who gave you your name 'Cause I see a light in your eyes it's so bright and The skies they open wide for you So come to me my baby You've got a way, like JFK When you do it Yhe way that you move it Spin me round like a record, baby And you've got a soul Like no one I know You're so new at it The way you see through that shit Breaks my heart and it drives me crazy It drives me crazy It drives me crazy Crazy, oh

[Monday/One day] my hoops will be made of diamonds My knuckles made of real gold I'll spend my days getting high with all my friends In the glamorous and green old Part of Hollywood [sun will rise/ ? horizon] I'm a supernova Body electric and I dance like Morrison When the night begins Baby comes alive again In Hollywood In Hollywood In Hollywood In Hollywood I'm alive again I'm alive again [Monday/One day] I'll drive in a gold Mercedes Benz Singing opera [on Bel Air, oh/and bolero] Hair to my ass will be flying in the wind Shooting heroin and speedballs See the sea I'm a supernova I walk on water And I dance like Joplin When the sun descends I dive into the waves again In Hollywood In Hollywood in Hollywood In Hollywood I'm alive again I'm alive again Oh, oh C-can you see me Oh, oh My heart beating fast I can feel it chasing in the [speedlights?] I was built to last Oh, oh, C-can you feel that My heart shaking fast I can feel that You're the one for me You'll be my first You'll be my last In Hollywood In Hollywood In Hollywood In Hollywood I'm alive again

Did these lyrics remind anybody else of that shitty quote about her and Barrie from that Electronic Beats interview?

Music video for "Heaven in this Hell":

So apparently this is the controversial cover of the next issue of Rolling Stone: Article here. Thoughts?

Yup.

smashing like dishes Edit:

"Dead Brains" (Live acoustic in '67 Lincoln Continental):

Yep. Also, are we sure it's "Oh, my super God"?

battle lines dynamite MTV Quoting Corleone you're a vision Costra Nostra is a reference to the mafia. I know ice is slang for diamonds, but it's weird she says "Lucy's in the sky with ice" since it's no longer a backronym for LSD. God, that bridge is so heavenly. And what's up with Lana and getting down while watching TV/playing video games? #TapItLikeAHiHat

Fucking Shakespeare right there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhjb4P_jnKk

Off subject, but this reminds me of my high school friends' elaborate set of movie-going rituals, which included obligatory viewing of the end credits until the boom operator was named.

What if "Get Drunk" is actually addressed to a family member?

Aside from the hula-hooping references in her lyrics, the first thing Cosmic Twinkle Lumiere and hula-hooping makes me think of is Sparkle Jump Rope Queen. Also, notice the long blonde hair...
