Here you can find a rehearsal recording of Come Together, we've only just started practising it so it's still in it's early stages. Obviously, some of the lyrics are pure guesses.

The outro needs some more work, and the lyrics definitely need more work though.

I'm almost sure that it goes:
"Little child look up at the sky
A white wedding dress and a black maria" etc
I'm also pretty certain (based on the Dublin recording, which you seem to have also used as a base - it certainly has almost the clearest vocals of them all) that the line "Into the fast lane" is there at the start of the third verse. And something about "when the wheels are spinning round" is also there.
Musically, I'd ramp up the beatbox excess to Floorshow/Colours levels and beyond too. You've definitely got the stupidly high BPM right though (that's one of the things few folks seem to notice about this song).
Otherwise, bearing in mind it's "rehearsal" status, I'd give it a 9.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Thanks matey ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'll go over the lyrics again tomorrow morning, obviously no-one will ever get them perfect.
I'm quite sure that the first line is: "A little child and a cold missile/messiah".
Messiah could make sense seeing as "swing low, sweet Jesus" pops up later in the song.
I'm sure there's hundreds of different ways the lyrics can be heard so if someone fancies doing some deciphering we can play around with them in rehearsal and see what works best![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
EDIT: Upon listening to the London Forum 13/02/98 gig the first line sounds like this to me:
A little child
And a cold missile,
With a white wedding dress
And a black mariah.
Some wild idea and I head back home,
Swing low sweet Jesus,
Come to carry me.
(not sure about the italic bits.)
What is a "black maria"?

From officialtomwaits.com on his song "Big Black Mariah":robertzombie wrote:

"This term comes from a black woman (aptly) named Maria who owned a lodging house in England and was in close with the police, turning in any lodgers who might be engaging in illicit activities. Anyway, somehow through this "Black Maria" came to be synonymous with the paddy wagon that takes convicts to the courthouse/jail.

mh: I was getting a bit confused with "Maria" because I pronounce it "muh-ree-uh" which wouldn't have fit the rhyme scheme.
Were you thinking of Mariah or do you just pronounce Maria differently to me?

Yep, that's how I'd say "Mariah", as in Mariah Carey.James Blast wrote:mah-rye-ah

Not too sure about the bit in bold, the rest I am certain about.A little child
And a cold missile,
With a white wedding dress
And a black maria.
Some wild idea and I head back home,
Swing low sweet Jesus,
Come to carry me.
Carry me home,
Swing low.
Carry me home.
Come together, home.
Come together, home.
Carry on angel.
No-one can harm you now.
Though your fins.
Though your fins be scarlet.
Come together, home.
Come together, home.
Just walk,
Into the fast lane,
Head in the stars,
Horizon, behold.
Cold missile,
A white wedding dress
And a black maria.
Swing low.
Though your fins,
Though your fins be scarlet.
Come together, home.
Come together, home.
