Iggy Pop/The Stooges Tab and Lyric Request Thread

Are you talking about the part between "Love in the middle of a firefight" and before the lyrics "I'm the world's forgotten boy"?

like: 3-s-4
3-s-4
1-s-2

6--7--2--4--6--6- 2 times
6--7--2--4--6--4-

Then it sounds like this, but i'm not sure if it's the some of Ron's bass...

Soul radiation in the dead of nights...

6-----4------2--4--4-
6--6--4--4--2--2--4- 2 times
4--6--2--4--0-----2-

So the last tab may be simpler like:

6--4--2--4--4-
6--4--2--2--4-
4--2--0-----2-

thank you good sir

happy to help

guitar/bass tabs for open up and bleed please???

The eggs on plate tab is wrong for the main riff ( the first two parts) I can do a tab for you if you'd like ? theres only one guitar at those parts, not two.

I finally heard a cleaner-mixed version, and was surprised to hear the "blown-out brains" chorus. It's still the story of my life. Consolation Prizes appears to be:

You’re asleep daily on the boulevard
Look out the boys there maybe
Will break your nose and take your car

And it’s consolation prizes, (consolation prizes)
That’s all that’s keeping you alive

It’s a wig strand below her tear
Yeah I think I got the message
Mama this is no time to quit

It’s consolation prizes, (consolation prizes)
That’s all that’s keeping you alive

Honey what you don’t know
I won't hurt you too bad
You never seen no real money
You never played their half-assed games
All you got's your twelve volt brain (brain...)

Cheap magazines won’t let me be (no they won't)
Now I feel so clean
But they’re always digging dirt on me

Through the lonely nights I'm thinking
(Lonely nights I'm thinking)
'Bout my sweet, my sweet consolation prize

Honey what you don’t know
I wont' hurt you too bad
You never seen no real money
You never played the heavy games.
All you got's your blown-out brains (brain…)

Well is it a chick Is it a fix?
It’s a consolation prize
Is it a fix man, is it the chicks, yeah
Consolation prizes

Is it a high baby, is it a shot
I said consolation prizes
Is it consolation prizes

It’s a wig strand below her tear


My guess:

Clean (keep?) awaaaaaaay
the tear between your tits

Trailerborn, you are right for the "standart" Album version but not for the
"clean mix" version. If you don't have it and want it => PM

headphones, clean copy, sax-less, synth-less. "Blown-out-brains" was the surprise.

This is what I hear based on the album version - changes in red:

You'll sway, dealin' on the boulevard
Look out the boys there maybe
Will break your nose and take your car

And it’s consolation prizes, (consolation prizes)
That’s all that’s keeping you alive

Keep away, be clean between your tears
Yeah I finally got the message
Mama this is no time to quit

It’s consolation prizes, (consolation prizes)
That’s all that’s keeping you alive

Honey what you don’t know
Say it won't hurt you too bad
You never seen no real money
You never played the heavy games
All you got's your twelve volt brain (brain...)

Cheap magazines won’t let me be (no they won't)
You know I feel so clean
But they’re always digging dirt on me

Through the lonely nights I'm thinking
(Lonely nights I'm thinking)
She's sweet, my consolation prize

Honey what you don’t know
I wont' hurt you too bad
You never seen no real money
You never played the heavy games.
All you got's your blown-out brains (brain…)

Well give it a hit, give it a miss
It’s a consolation prize
Give me a fix man, is it the chicks, yeah
Consolation prizes

Is it a high baby, is it a shot
I said consolation prizes
Is it consolation prizes

This is like that kids' game of telephone where the words change person to person, fun!
For once, since overall sound usually suffices for me, I wanted to know the lyrics since they appeared to mirror my life.

Perhaps subliminal suggestion insinuated itself here for the first line, since i saw him thus at the time (which maybe reinforces its probability lyrically.) It actually was sad, nothing to joke about. But since I was so young, I responded inappropriately. He stood up, tried to pick up my girlfriend and me, with me shoving the former at him and walking away: I thought I was doing my unworldly girlfriend a big favor, and never heard the end of the story. Given their respective conditions, I doubt either would have remembered a second of this.
