Energy-Girls - Mata Hari lyrics?

[the_ditz]

Hi everyone,

Been a while since I've been on here, but I need a bit of a favour...

I'm entering Mata Hari by Energy-Girls into the DDR OSC BoNG simfile contest, but cannot seem to find the lyrics for the song anywhere! The Saifam download shop says that lyrics were available, but when I purchased the mp3, there was no link for lyrics at all!

I really need these lyrics ideally by 29th/30th December at the very latest. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

Oh, and for those that don't have the song from the Saifam website, it's also featured on VIP Mega Euro Star 3rd Stage

I would say try to write them yourself by listening to the song, but I know that that song is one of the hardest to listen to and understand what they hell she's saying! Usually if you listen to a song enough times it starts to make sense, but this is not the case with this song, and I have listened to it a LOT.

[the_ditz]

Exactly, that's why I'm asking if anyone has the official lyrics! I'm not the best at working out hard-to-hear lyrics anyway, so anything I came up with would be utter gibberish!

Here's what I got out of it:


Mata Hari - Energy Girls

'Round the (?) *
couldn't see my shape,*
Like a shadow fading on,
up and on your side,
but now I have to hide,
and my sense is telling me to run.

You produce a deuce,*
think I better lose,
even if it couldn't last.
Boy don't ask me why,
now I say goodbye,
what is gone is buried in the past.

Take your time,
Cross the line,
follow me, you can't resist to my mind,
I'm the one and you're alone,
In my web, now you're mi~ne!

I'm your little darling, give me yours,
with my ton of kisses you'll be lost,
if you try a game,*
secret sent today,*
Mata Hari girl is gonna roll!

I'm your little darling, you're a fool,
with my little love there's a rule,
I don't really need,
and you're lost in me,
Mata Hari girl is so cool!

Boy you got it right,
lady on the night,
silver bullet in the moon,
with my little gun,
you will get some fun,
it's the one we take to your doom.

Don't reduce a deuce,*
don't re-do the deuce,*
doesn't need to run the best,
Boy, don't ask me why,
now I say goodbye,
what is gone is buried in the past.

* = unsure

A lot of parts don't make much sense (but when do they ever?) and there's this reference to this 'deuce' thing... I don't know what else that sound could be, so I just put it in.

The first part of the a-melo is too unintelligible to take a crack at, for me.

There's a good chance lots of this is incorrect, but there are at least a couple melos that I know I nailed.

Hope this helps.... also hope other people try and figure this out so we can collaborate on it.

Thanks Cosmic Bard for that start!

I can definitely hear some of the lines that were confusing me thanks to those lyrics, but there are still a few I just can't make out...here's what I can hear (bold lines are my alterations...)

Mata Hari - Energy Girls

'Round the _____ lake
couldn't see my shape,
Like a shadow fading on,
I've been on your side,
but now I have to hide,
and my sense is telling me to run.

You produce the deuce,*
thinkin' that I'm loose,
even if it couldn't last.
Boy don't ask me why,
now I say goodbye,
what is gone is buried in the past.

Take your time,
Cross the line,
follow me, you can't resist to my mind,
I'm the one and you're alone,
In my web, now you're mi~ne!

I'm your little darling, make me yours,
with my ton of kisses you'll be lost,
if you try a game,* ???
secret sent today,* ???
Mata Hari can discover all!

I'm your little darling, you're a fool,
with my little lovin' there's no rule,
I don't really need,
and you're lost in me,
Mata Hari couldn't be so cruel!

I really only need the first verse, bridge and chorus, so that's all I've focused on...still I couple of lines that are confusing me though

[Cosmic_Bard]

Ahh... there are a lot of changes you've made that make sense.

Glad I could help too, but that damn first line is really perplexing. Even during the vocal break for the song without the music, you can't really make it out very well.

Maybe an e-mail to Saifam would solve your problem?

[MAtRiCks]

could it be: Round the frozen lake?

[the_ditz]

I emailed Saifam, but they first started rambling on about not using Visa Secure payment (which I did) so that's why my downloads weren't working (even though my downloads do work perfectly!) before telling me to email customer services with any other problems.

I emailed them on Wednesday and still haven't received a response, and I need the lyrics by today. So it'll just have to be guesswork for the rest...

Thanks again Cosmic_Bard, and also you MatRicks for your suggestion - although I now think it might be "Round the poisoned lake"...hmmm, who knows!

EDIT: I had a EUREKA! moment with the first part of the chorus...

I'm your little darling, make me yours
With my ton of kisses, you'll be lost
If you try to keep
Secrets in too deep
Mata Hari can discover all!

It's amazing how something like that can happen after you've listened to it about 100 times...

Nice! It's all coming together now. I'll try to listen to the first line a bit more... maybe warp the speed a bit, see if I can figure it out.
