Ooh Belle
The Slip
2007

by the glaze in your eye
by your shape
by your size
by the pen
in your heart
by the mark in your room
by your bicycle

by the hole in your shoe
by the arc
by the moon
by the song in your throat
by the sting in your nose
by your watermark

oooh Belle
it’s not like I couldn’t tell
‘cause (?) the shape of your sadness
can’t hide behind your little shell

you can pull on the chain
you can knock on the door
you can sing in the rain
you can roll on the floor
you can separate

you can run in the halls
you can paint on the walls
you can bow to the sun
you can spit in the eye of everyone

oooh Belle
sometimes I'm overwhelmed
the nearer we came to salvation
the further we fell

sunset only brings the colors out
but they were always there
masters made their systems(?)
so they fell in the hands of other men

ooooh oooooh oooooohhhh mmmmhmmmm
ooooohhh ohhhhhh ohhhh ohh

by the sand in your eye
by the shine on your limb
by the crack in your voice
it’s by feel
not my choice that I come to you

it’s the chain of events
it’s the came and the wents
it’s the least that I have
it’s the most I can give
it’s my honesty(?)

ooooh Belle
hope that you're doing well
the trick of the devil is to make you think your living in hell
ohh ohh ohh ohhh
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh

ohhhh ohhh ohh oh
ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

ohhhh ohhh ohhh oh
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh

mmmmmmmmmmmm
oooooo Belle
I hope that you’re doing well
it’s the trick of the devil to make you think you’re living in hell

only correction

masters make their systems
so they fail in the hands of other men

Good catch and thanks for laying the lyrics on us, Matt.
Transcription is fun, ain't it? Makes us listen to the
song much more closely and hear things we would
have missed otherwise. Good headphones help a lot.
