When Tim and I  we’re still “friends,” we we’re sending each other pictures and stuff. For those who don’t know, Tim and I knew each other when we were both still in college. He was studying at University of St. La Salle in Bacolod while I was studying at West Visayas State University here in Iloilo. We communicated by e-mailing, YM, long conversations on the phone (we had a Sun SimCard then. :) ) and of course-the most popular way-by texting. ;)

Once he sent me a CD with a compilation of songs by a Bacolodnon band. We actually don’t know the name of the band that’s why we decided to post it in our blogs so that maybe someone would recognize the lyrics and the band itself.

I ‘m going to post the lyrics here but it’s kind of incomplete and I’m also unsure of some of the lines. It would be great if someone could help us out. It’s hard to decipher the lyrics of this song because we only have a poor audio copy.

We would like to know the name of this band, the name of its members and we also want to have a copy of the correct lyrics. (What I did was listen to the song then I wrote the words down.)

Tim will upload the audio of the song later on.

Marry Me Jane

Been so long

I’ve heard it all before

Couldn’t see that smile

I felt it even more

Wake me up

It’s time to roll you down

Fill my mouth

Ignite me with a smile

The sun shines bright

Even for a while

I’m begging for your love

That’s all I want.

Marry me Jane

Lead me, hold me

Hug me tight

And you are mine.

Marry me Jane (3x)

My Mary Jane.

Waiting for your friends

That’s outside of your door

There’s a lot of dogs

*And there is even more.

Wake me up

It’s time to roll you down

Fill my mouth

And light me with a smile

The sun shines bright

Even for a while

I’m begging for your love

That’s all I want.

Take my hand

We will fly

Hold me tight

And you are mine.

    Thanks gd sa pag-correct ah. By the way ano ya gali ang 4th line? Ky hindi ko gd maintsindihan b..hehe

    Yep, we know nga double meaning ang kanta. Its about one of those stuffs that could make you feel so high right. ;)

    Sige tani magka-gig man kamo diri sa iloilo. Damu na diri local clubs and bars nga pwede kamo katukar.

    Hambal gali ni Tim tandaan nya pa before nga nagtukar kamo sa Gallaga Theater sa La Salle. Unplugged daw? Cuerdas? Hindi lang sya sure.

    Anyway, hope to hear you sing the song live! :)
