Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Telling the Truth and Going Away

[AwryEye]

I understand the lyrics in Telling the Truth and Going Away. CYHSY are amazing. Can you e-mail that song to me? Please? Thanks.

[ReigningStar1]

Not releasing a great song means somebody is full of s...(whoops I mean) themselves. Why make music that people want and then hide it somewhere. I'll definitely boycott this band.

[rodrigopulos]

what a great surprise the movie ending with clap your hands say yeah ! couldn`t believe it ! great song , great band , great movie !

[MrJokermac]

Love this song, wish I could get it on Itunes :( can someone please post the correct lyrics? I think it goes like this:

sympathy blues on memory wine, color me blindly in the night. caveats ensue, neutered and spayed, telling the truth and going away.

Great video and it is around i have found at least 3 links very easily. If you want this great song google track/753944/Clap+Your the very first result should be it the site is called hypem. if you are smart you can use jdownloader i read on the internet, if not use itunes or the other option on page.

I believe it was released in the form of several Alec Ounsworth home demos he made available on the web for a short time. I know the blogs were all pointing to them for a while about 5 years ago but it seems he took them offline. I'm sure you can still find them by looking for "Alec Ounsworth demos" online. Some of them turned into songs that were found on the band's first couple of releases. He did this song and several other similar sounding ones - all worth hunting down.

[Fishman4U25]

great song, figures nowhere to be found...

[liliestin]

beautiful.

[Fronzajr]

[nobebeselagua]

My shot at the lyrics, listened to it for 4 hours:

sympathy blue, o memory wipe

color me blindly in the night

caviar tooth, neuter and spayed

telling the truth and going away

victory red, a naked reply

you gave what you give but you said that i lied

now the part of the candle ill be given by the crowd to play

for telling the truth and going away

[nobebeselagua]

@nobebeselagua let me revise that

sympathy blue, o memory white

color me blindly in the night

caviar tooth, neuter and spay

telling the truth and going away

victory red, on hickory pine

you gave what you give but you said that i lied

and now the part of the camera ill be given by the crowd to play

for telling the truth and going away

[kjokramer]

this song makes me cry. can't buy it. what the fuck?

[JackCooper15]

awesome song, I talked to one of the guys from this band a while back and he told me that they might be making it available to buy on their website, but hasnt happened yet.

[sonicxracer]

So fricking annoyed you can't download this damn song anywhere. WTF.

[peternikols]

[billadune]

[spouseoflife]

i like this song. but not only cant you find it elsewhere, there are no available lyrics? what the hell? i want the lyrics! cuz the sounds coming out of this guys mouth sound nice but they dont exactly come together in any comprehendible fashion.

[mikidora33]

for the arrogance of eloquence has never been of consequence to me

choking on air

popping the spare

i am nowhere

i mean i seem neither here nor there

tell uncle darwin that an ape again

has had the final say

telling the truth and going away

thanks for listening.

[blackstrass]

@mikidora33 wow thanks so much for the song and the lyrics, for a non native english speaker it was really hardto understand, though i've been trying to sing along since i first heard this when the movie ended. It is such a precious song. Thanx.

[TurtleUnion42]

@mikidora33 what? there's more? how tantalizing. but where can we find a full version?

[dondarko82]

[zmanofwar3]

[MrJokermac]

why isn't this song on i tunes?

great tune!

[Whoozinga]

I felt like I'd heard this song years ago, it makes me feel nostalgic...and was surprised it isn't really old. It must remind me of something....either way, I really like it!

[CransonSpackle18]

I really dig this song (and the film as well). I wish it would get released on some physical format, such as vinyl. Seen CYHSY in JAX in 2007 & it was quite special!

[halfcrackedboy]

anyone figure out the chords for this song, it sounds like G, D, C then some mix at the last chord.???

I'm pretty sure it's an Am

[Siderathan]

Can anyone make out what he is singing besides 'telling the truth and going away'?
