http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB4kfFFiEJM

Theres just one thing
Yeah theres just one thing
That’ll torture your soul
The grass will stain your clothes
Till a bleeding heart hands you a rose

It’s a long long wait
It’s a long long wait
Four letter words can cause you so much pain
It’s a long long wait

Bum bum bum……

There coming soon to take away
But you cant wait another day
The lonliest and lonlier
Well youll get kicks and chills?
Get up?

How long must I wait
How long must I must
The goods all gone bad
And the villain stole a hand
With you hiding corners starving for a chance

Theres just one thing
Yeah theres just one thing
That’ll torture your soul
The grass will stain your clothes
Till a bleeding heart hands you a rose

I only made minor adjustments…but yeah, who knows?

There’s just one thing
There’s just one thing
That’ll torture your soul
The grass will stain your clothes
Till a bleeding heart hands you a rose

It’s a long long wait
It’s a long long wait
Four letter words can cause you so much pain
It’s a long long wait

Bum bum bum……

They’re coming soon to take away
But you can’t wait another day
The loneliest and lonelier
Well you’ll get kicks and chills?
Get hers…???

How long must I wait
How long must I must
The goods all gone bad
And the villain stole a hand
While you hide in corners starving for a chance

There’s just one thing
Yeah there’s just one thing
That’ll torture your soul
The grass will stain your clothes
Till a bleeding heart hands you a rose

I saw a different performance which was a bit clearer and I’m pretty sure this part,
Well you’ll get kicks and chills?
Get hers…???

is actually,
Well he’ll get his and she’ll get hers

Besides that everything looked right to me. I love this song and I hope it makes it onto one of these rumored EPs.

No problem :)
He played KCRW a little over a year ago and since there was no live audience the words were pretty easy to pick up on. Glad I could help!
