Use Yur Imagination
(Repeat Imagination)
(Repeat)
(Repeat)

(Verse 1)
Freein' the kids from too much information,
Freein' the world from super Segregation.
Freein' the T.V. of the soul,
Keep the doe from the Foe.
--------(Line not yet decyphered)

We give you an inch-a power
an let the force be wichya
Even though the (Koosoo? Who's-Who?) Out tuh getchya
Fight for fame, that's the name of the game.
Even though yer psycho and goin' insane.

(Chorus)
Time's up, got a glimpse of paradise
Ya got lost in a digital disquise
ya F---ed up, end of the road
Use Yur Imagination!

(Chorus)
Time's up, gotta free the alienz,
Power up, gotta use yer common sense.
If at first, you don't succeed,
Use Yur Imagination!

(Verse 2)
Now all you gamers got (Moles for lamers?)!
Usen' the cheats will never make you famous!
Go for the bonus if ya got kahones,
Gotta get mo' health if ya wanna...
Oh! And if ya didn't know, I saw (Your history?)
So it matters, y'know -------- -----------
Get the next stage in 10 seconds flat,
But in the case of Munch, Abe's got his back!

(Chorus)
Time's up, got a glimpse of paradise
Ya got lost in a digital disquise
ya F---ed up, end of the road
Use Yur Imagination!

(Chorus)
Time's up, gotta free the alienz,
Power up, gotta use yer common sense.
If at first, you don't succeed,
Use Yur Imagination!

I'm not gonna take it.
Break my balls to make it.
I can't stand the test!
Use Yur Imagination!

I'm not gonna take it.
Break my balls to make it.
I can't stand the test!
Use Yur Imagination!

Imagination
Imagination
Imagination
Imagination

Get the next stage ten seconds flat.
Seconds flat.
seconds flat.
Get the next stage ten seconds flat.
Get-a Get-a Seconds flat. Flat.

(Chorus)
Time's up, got a glimpse of paradise
Ya got lost in a digital disquise
ya F---ed up, end of the road
Use Yur Imagination!

(Chorus)
Time's up, gotta free the alienz,
Power up, gotta use yer common sense.
If at first, you don't succeed,
Use Yur Imagination

(Chorus)
Time's up, got a glimpse of paradise
Ya got lost in a digital disquise
ya F---ed up, end of the road
Use Yur Imagination!

(Chorus)
Time's up, gotta free the alienz,
Power up, gotta use yer common sense.
If at first, you don't succeed,
Use Yur Imagination

I'm not gonna take it.
Break my balls to make it.
I can't stand the test!
Use Yur Imagination!

I'm not gonna take it.
Break my balls to make it.
I can't stand the test!
Use Yur Imagination!

:

Freein' the T.V. of the soul,
Keep the doe from the Foe.
I'd always heard this as:

Freein' the TV of the soap,
Keep the dope from the Pope.

Which, in my opinion, is much better, especially the bit about getting rid of soap operas. Nevertheless, I have to congratulate you on transcribing this - especially that annoying paradise part of the chorus, which I just could not get.

EDIT: Ooh, nifty new quote design. :fuzsmile:

EDIT THE SECOND: I'm also absolutely sure that "In our world, gotta use yer common sense" should be "Power up, gotta use yur common sense." I noticed that in the first topic about the video being released, but I guess I forgot about it.

well done for wright everithing down...
even if Ihope for an official release of the lyrics this make me understand the song better

Dipstikk 08-10-2003 02:56 AM

Max noticed an error in my interpritation of the lyrics. Where it said "In our world", it should have said "Power Up".

But with the amount of music playing, who can tell?

I've fixed it. Ya welcome.:)

Thanks, Max!

Hey thanx, I was trying to figure that out, but I'm not that devoted.

You didn't notice that, I did. Look, I posted it right after you posted the original lyrics. Well, after the second edit, anyway.

And I was only joking about the Pope/Soap thing, although that is what I heard. Hadn't noticed the image correlation, though.

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 03:51 PM

:lol: Is that really what you heard? That's funny!

Sekto Springs 08-10-2003 03:57 PM

i beleive the verse called "give you an inch of power" is "release your mental power!", ok!

oh and the vykker typing on a phone! not a cash register!

Sorry. I haven't played MO, nor do I own it.

It seems like everyone but me owns an Xbox. It 'tain't fair!

Oh, and sorry, Max. I should've read your post.

Since I goofed and it was Max I goofed on, I want Max to feel free to edit the lyrics I posted if he notices any mistakes.

Wil 08-10-2003 07:56 PM

Well, that's mighty kind of you, Dipstikk, but I can't edit posts...

Dipstikk 08-11-2003 12:28 AM

Sorry. I thought you were a Mod. I mean, you're more than qualified. I don't know why these guys haven't made you one yet.

If you see anything that needs altering, send me a PM.

Wil 08-11-2003 09:03 AM

I'm sure that applies to everyone. :)

I'm currently pestering Alcar for ModShip, I think it's working.

oddguy 08-11-2003 09:28 AM

You'd make an excelent mod, Max! I actually thought you were one allready!

Sekto Springs 08-11-2003 10:17 AM

well max is cool, but listen to yourselves, it sounds "asskissingish":D

Xavier 08-11-2003 06:29 PM

Max, could be an excellent mod, too bad the place is take by... me!
and I won't give my place away, anyway I won't mind if he could be an extra mod in the GD, I can somethimes use some help

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 07:40 PM

Yeah go max! Would he have to change his name where it says Oddworld Enciclopedia and put that he's a mod there?

Wil 08-11-2003 07:46 PM

You see that guy who's posted just above you? You see the words above his avatar? Look at them. They're only an inch away from your own post, and yet they answer your question 100%.

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 07:47 PM

I meant the one's by your stars! :p

Wil 08-11-2003 08:03 PM

Yes, so do I.

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 08:27 PM

:fuzconf: OK??? I don't get it...:fuzconf:

Wil 08-11-2003 08:44 PM

Look: two status things.
