Bad 25 - The Lyrics

I don't think anyone could ever figure out the lyrics of MJ's songs except Michael himself loooool

Damn Jacksonese :lol:
 
Corrections in bold.

Price of fame

...

(Hee-Hee)
(Aow!)
(Do it)
(Hoo)

I'd like to take sometime and get away, then they'll say
Is that boy still alive?
The weak ??? starting taking pills, what a thrill
Only the strong survive

Father always told me
You won't live a quiet life
They start to wonderin' where have you been
I feel their envious looks at me
Their mistaken jealousy
Then stand here in my shoes
And get a taste of my blues

Al Capone is hard... This is what I hear:

Al Capone

Why did you let him get away
After the staring what you see
Just done it as cold as ice
Screaming my ???
Now is my job to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get away

Too bad, you’re gonna get it
Cause Al Capone is in it
So sad, regret it
Cause the madman’s out tonight

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her about this
The girl was dreaming
Nobody should be grieving this way


I added in red what I understood, I hope it helps...
 
In Price of Fame he says father never lies. Does he mean that sarcastically? (not sure if thats a word though) or is he serious there? So is it like...hey it's my dad and you know him, he's never wrong, he never lies. Sarcasm. Or is it...he told me that i wouldn't have quiet life..he never lied about this?

IMO it's sarcastic when you take it together with "so don't you ever complain" and "so don't be feeling no pain/this way, boy".

Abortion papers:

It's definitely "biding her time" - it's a common expression.
I think "their fair" is "despair"
"Don't know the words, she knows a beat" - it's the only thing that makes sense given the context and sounds.
Agree with "Brothers..."
"Think about life..." line could end with "I'd like to have my shout" (i.e. my turn at living life), rather than child, as "child" seems to contradict the direction of the song. EDIT - It's definitely child (!).

time: wher is the "m"?
despair: i hear a "f"
child: the "i" sounds like a "au" or "o". and there no "L"
 
i will continue tomorrow, and try to slow down al capone. maybe then i can hear something.
 
Price of fame
(???, written by ???)

I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited about the way the things could have been
As in if I don't care

I want a face no one can recognize, in disguise
Someone called out my name
They thought of taking pictures, autographs, then they grab
My joy had turned to pain

Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
I feel the pressure setting in
I'm living just to win
I'm down in my pain
Don't you feelin' no pain?

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain
It's the price of fame
It's the price of fame
So don't you ever complain?

I am a cover of a magazine, what a scene
They know my every do's
'Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine'
That always bothers me

Get in your car, you wanna take a ride, look behind
Someone is following you
You try to get away you turn with that, but too bad
They know your every move

Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
And I feel the pressure setting in
I'm living just to win
I bleed in all this pain
Don't you ever complain?

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain?

It's the price of fame [price of fame]
You pay the price of fame [price of fame]
Father never lies
My father never lies [price of fame]
My father never lies [price of fame]
So don't be feelin' this way, boy

(Hee-Hee)
(Aow!)
(Do it)
(Hoo)

I like to take sometime and get away, then they'll say
Is that boy still alive?
The weak ?that really? starting taking pills, what a thrill
Only the strong survive

Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
They start to wonderin' where have you been
I feel their envious looks at me
Their mistaken jealousy
Then stand here in my shoes
And get a ?thing? of my blues

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' this way

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
In the price of fame [Price of fame]
You pay the price of fame [Price of fame]

My father never lies [Price of fame]
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies [Price of fame]
So don't be feelin' no pain, boy

time: wher is the "m"?
despair: i hear a "f"
child: the "i" sounds like a "au" or "o". and there no "L"

Songs must make sense, you know. It's not just a bunch of random words. Michael's articulation may not be very clear, but no need to question his intelligence.
 
Guys, that's NOT "giving a Christian song" in Abortion Paper.

It's "grieving a Christian soul" ;)
 
Songs must make sense, you know. It's not just a bunch of random words. Michael's articulation may not be very clear, but no need to question his intelligence.

yeah, i know he's doing that all the time. but on these 3 words, its plausible for me.
 
PRICE OF FAME

I hear this:

Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
They start to wonderin' where have you been
I feel their envious looks at me
Their mistaken jealousy
And then stand here in my shoes
And get addict of my blues
 
Songs must make sense, you know. It's not just a bunch of random words. Michael's articulation may not be very clear, but no need to question his intelligence.

Well, in 'time', Michael doesn't pronounce the 'm'...Same thing in Speed Demon, 'I got to be on ti...'

And the word, child, he doesn't pronounce the 'l', so it indeed sounds like 'au'...So it's not a question of his intelligence, it's just his pronunciation and his phrasing...

It's not an easy task, figuring out his lyrics, that's for sure :D

Michael is very educational as well....When I was little, I learned what crescendo meant, as it was the first time I had ever heard that word :D
 
Some people's suggestions aren't being captured, so I'm making another version. Text in red is questionable.

Al Capone isn't an easy one

this is what I've got so far:

Why did you let him get away?
After the staring what you say
Shooting a bullet cold as ice
?Strung up? my face and told a lie

She shot us, ?fired? down the street
No woman tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away?
Why did you let him get her?

Too bad, don't get it
'cause it's Al Capone who's in it
So say "regret it"
'cause a mad mans out tonight / And I told her all tonight

Should I told her
Nobody ever ?shot? upon us
The girl was dreamin'
Nobody should be ?grieving? this way
