What's the lyrics for the bit of the song that all the lyric sites get wrong?
Out of my hands
Something's calling
Catch my crying
Calling your name
Marian
Do no more than
Watch you try and understand me
Well i've found
It worth the standing
All around me
All around me
Marian
Take my hand
Lay beside me on the burning sand
Marian
Only you can
Say the words i need to hear
Marian
Only you can
Make these red skies disappear
Marian
Can you hear me calling?
Touch me now
In my hour of need
Speak to me softly
Lay down beside me
Marian
I think you know
I need you near me
Don't try to understand
The sun is falling
Burning sand
Can you hear me calling?
Marian
Marian
I think you know
I need you near me
That bit. It sounds to me like he's saying "draw 'nother breath"
Anyone know what the correct lyrics are?

This is what I hear, with my changes in bold and comments in brackets.
Wow, I'd forgotten what a pisspoor recording it was!
Out of my hands
Something's falling
Catch my crying
Calling your name
Marian
Do no more than
Watch and try to understand
All i've found
Is worth the standing
All around me
All around me
Marian
Take my hand
Lay beside me on the burning sand [Due to Waynes poor enunciation combined with the atrocious recording 'sand' sounds more like 'bed'. It's sand though obviously, to rhyme with hand.]
Marian
Only you can
Say the words i need to hear
Marian
Only you can
Make these red skies disappear
Marian
Can you hear me calling?
Touch me now
In my hour of need
Speak to me softly
Lay down beside me
Well Marian
[I'm ready you need] [written phonetically, which must be wrong. There's definitely a 'nee' sound though.]
Draw 'nother breath
Dry [something] tears [something]
Don't try to understand
The sun is falling
Burning sand
Can you hear me calling?
Marian

Marian
Only you can
Make these red skies disappear
Marian
Can't you hear me calling?
Come to me now
In my hour of need
Speak to me softly
Lay down beside me
Well Marian
I'm begging you please
Draw another breath
Drag me to the left?
Don't try and understand
The sun is falling
Into the burning sand
Can't you hear me calling?

Maybe Wayne has poor enunciation, but it's Gary singing.

"Draw 'nother breath, yearning for you near, don't try to understand..."

My final version:
Out of my hands
Something's falling
Catch me crying
Calling your name
Marian
Do no more than
Watch and try and understand
All I've found
Is worth the sand that is
All around me
All around
Marian
Take my hand
Lay beside me on the burning sand
Marian
Only you can
Say the words i need to hear
Marian
Only you can
Make these red skies disappear
Marian
Can't you hear me calling?
Come to me now
In my hour of need
Speak to me softly
Lay down beside me
Well Marian
I'm begging you please
Draw another breath
For I need to live
Don't try and understand
The sun is falling
Into the burning sand
Can't you hear me calling?
Marian

Woops!
I was reading the Wayne stuff on dominion at the same time, got a bit cross-threaded.

No worries, if it wasn't for the fact that Gary actually talks to us (via Quiffy of course) we wouldn't even be sure it was a real demo.

BTW, were Marx and Eldritch both writing odes to a "Marian" at the time?
BTW2, the "For I need to live" line is correct. Give it a listen.

Out of my hands
Something's falling
Catch me crying
Calling your name
Marian
Do no more than
Watch and try and understand
All I've planned
A worthless vantage
All around it
All around
Marian
Take my hand
Lay beside me on the burning sand
Marian
Only you can
Say the words I need to hear
Marian
Only you can
Make these red skies disappear
Marian
Can you hear me calling?
Come to me now
In my hour of need
Speak to me softly
Lay down beside me
Oh Marian

Draw another breath
For I need you to live
Don't try and understand
The sun is falling
In the burning sand
Can you hear me calling?

Thank you stufarq ... I think this version is right, corrected the slightly differing lyrics in the Wiki ...

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure about "A worthless vantage" but it sounds close.
