All the new lyrics are now up in the predictable place:
http://odetojsmith.wordpress.com/lyrics/ (check out the unnecessary but easy-to-use links!)

The Ode lyrics in general are dazzling, like the music, there is no waffle or meaningless rhymes. Not since More Than Us have so many great lines been thrust at our ears in succession:

***LYRICS SPOILER WARNING***!!!

We'd take our cradles to the grave...
I'll take the breath away from your sighs...
Papa I'm too young to die...
I love you

Those are all from Before You Were Young. I can't remember ever before having tears in my eyes just reading through lyrics, but then I read the lyrics for that song. Destined to become a true classic.

wow!! no no no....this album is quite amazing!! i repeat a masterpeice in all senses!!!.

In the lyrics there's a part missing on Quite Free, i think a little before something like "There's a place, i know somewhere, to escape"

The whole lyrics to 'Before you were young'.. the whole song. I listened to it for 30 seconds and then I started to weep, haha :) One of the greatest Travis songs, maybe the greatest, ever!

I also really like the lyrics to 'Long way down'. :)
