In Waited, I use to think the line "I must've be too dumb to be proud"

was "I must be doped up to be proud"......... :roll:

I never noticed until someone mentioned it on the CM a long time ago, but now whenever I hear the line "talking is just masturbating without the mess" I think it sounds like "talking is just masturbating with other men."

LOL, that's freakin nasty man........what were you on???


I didn't think Raine said anything when he said "you worry about the weather or wether not you should hate hate hate" during Superman's Dead. I felt like a big idiot when I read the lyrics and listened to again. Now I can sing it perfectly though........woohoo.

Same here. My friend and I were listening to it (right after I got Clumsy, my first OLP CD), and we thought he might be saying something there. We couldn't figure it out, so I decided to look it up, and I found it.

That's because it's "Worry 'bout the weather, whether not you should hey-yay-ate" (hate streched out in Raine-esque style)

Thank you. Do you know what is being said at the end of Supersatelite? I figure you are the Lyric Master here.

I have no idea.

The first two lines:
_____ soul
It's out of control


The last two lines sound like "So up high, so up high"

The rest is all a blur to me.

Speaking of misheard lyrics, Gail, in your sig, I think it's "irrelevance", not relevance.

I don't think so, but I can't figure out if it's "and the irrelevance" or "I need irrelevance". I can't think of any phrase that could make 3 syllables before "relevance".

It's just

"I need relevance,
Intelligence"

The "r" is stretched a bit, but it's definately relevance.

Oh yeah, I guess that would make sense - one would want things to be relevant, not irrelevant. :)
