luckyonewithoutyou 1,929 Posted February 28, 2017 [Verse 1] My baby used to dance underneath my architecture To the Houses of the Holy Smoking on them cigarettes My baby used to dance underneath my architecture He was cool as heck He was cool as heck [Pre-Chorus] But you were so obsessed with writing the next best American record But there was nothing left by the time we got to bed Baby that’s a shame You were so obsessed with writing the next best American record You did it all for fame You did it all for fame [Chorus 1] You did it all for fame Tell me how it treats you now You did it all for fame How does that taste coming out You did it all for fame Baby, how's life treating you now It's over [Verse 2] My baby used to dance underneath my architecture He was seventies in spirit; nineties in his frame of mind My baby used to dance underneath my architecture We lost track of space We lost track of time [Pre-Chorus] But you were so obsessed with writing the next best American record But there was nothing left by the time we got to bed Baby that’s a shame You were so obsessed with writing the next best American record You did it all for fame You did it all for fame (You know what I'm talking about) [Chorus 2] You did it all for fame Tell me how it treats you now You did it all for fame How does that taste coming out Now that you lost the game Honey, how's life treating you now That it's over Baby, how you feeling now That I told you We're through [bridge] It's you All the roads lead to you Everything I want and do All the things that I say It's true All the roads lead to you Like the 405 I drive through Everynight and everyday Ah, ah I see you for who you really are Why the thousands of girls Love the way Bill plays guitar Ah, ah [Chorus] You did it all for fame Tell me how it treats you now You did it all for fame How does that taste coming out You did it all for fame Honey, how you feeling now That it's over Baby, how's life treating you now That I told you [Outro] Honey, how is it feeling now? (Honey, how's it feeling?, Honey, how's it feeling?) I told you (Honey, how's it feeling?, Honey, how's it feeling?) I told you 17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longtimeman 9,001 Posted February 28, 2017 Not sure if this thread's about to disappear, but the second line is 'To the Houses of the Holy' 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longtimeman 9,001 Posted February 28, 2017 100% that the line is 'The Houses of the Holy', and it should be capitalized because it's a title. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elle 121,758 Posted February 28, 2017 Sounds a lot like the melody of 'Hangin' Around' which I adore. Also I'm nearly positive the "you know what I'm talking 'bout" line is from the same vocal take used in 'Because of You' Also, originally I wasn't going to allow a lyric thread for this yet, but I'm going to allow it since at this point the leak is pretty much everywhere & would be pointless to restrict a lyric thread. Still, I am not allowing any download links as well as links directing to where the song can be found on the forum. Please do not request the song to be sent to you either. 34 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder Revenant 20,961 Posted February 28, 2017 Sounds a bit like Fine China considering the vocals and production. Her voice sounds great and I like the tropical vibes during the chorus. However I don't think it's really very intriguing. Better than Love but still not as exciting as her previous material. 1 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

graham4anything 2,859 Posted February 28, 2017 well, as Elle in post 12 is allowing this just reading the lyrics (have not searched out nor will I listen to anything until officially released) just reading the lyrics it is very Honeymoon the album continuation like. Is Lana self-referencing herself like I believe Honeymoon was an epic battle between Elizabeth and Lana? (so once again, there is no boy here, it is a metaphor) it also reads like she is referencing herself from Paradise's Ride (Just one pretty song lyric) & American (I hear the Byrds on The Summer Breeze juxtaposed with "405" and rethinking the whole thing, which is what "Love" is referencing in that there is now more important things to talk about than just "going for the gold(record) ... makes me long for Lana to do a cover of the BeeGees "Words" (and words are all I have, to take your heart away © Barry, Robin, Maurice Gibb I made a post that said I shall wait until hearing the whole album a couple of dozen times, but more and more I think the chapters in the book of Elizabeth Grant are being moved forward to something that perhaps wasn't what the original intent was, but due to the times, is quite appropriate and up to date and quite deep and literate indeed. (very Neil Tenant whose best work can be interpreted many ways and on many levels too)(no matter what beat is behind the words. or (sorry to once again reference) Leonard Cohen- "Is this what you wanted" (note the double or triple entendre with this specific reference) more to follow as the weeks go by on that thought. 4 Quote Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
writtenxrabbits 905 Posted February 28, 2017 I haven't been this entranced by a Lana song since West Coast tbh. Some of the lyrics are really intriguing, like the opening line. Creates such a strange/beautiful image. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greatest 8,805 Posted February 28, 2017 It kind of reminds me of the ways west coast is surprising, like the way she integrates something slower and more introspective with something a lot faster and more dramatic. It makes me really emotional like I didn't get that way for Love 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
