> milkman313 Accoridng to the official lyrics provided for the Japanese edition Tomboy, the woman's voice is saying "I found this great guy". Other samples include: "do you know your name?" after the first "you know you can count on me"; "you are not a loser" after the first "i'll get so up for it"; "one single thought" after "who are you if i'm not up for it"; "that's how you become great" after "like a force field switch"; "i did with the kid" after "keep you secure just a little bit"; "do your job" after "who grows up to lose that forcefield switch"; "i am not an enertainer" after the second "where are you if i'm not up for it"; "i am out here for you" after the second "you know you can count on me" in the last verse; and "we live in a cynical world" after the last "to get so up for it". And I've happened to find that most (all?) of these samples are taken from the movie "Jerry Maguire" (1996) directed by Cameron Crowe (starring Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger). FYI |

| Recently I noticed that all the guitar refrains were the same one. I mean, the phrase is taped and repeated. Is this common knowledge? | |

I'm a Japanese and a huge fan of CAN. The Japanese lyrics in this song is hard to distinguish/understand even for a Japanese because Damo's voice is indistinct and the grammar is unusual -- but I try. Hitori de soko ni suwatteru (The man who is sitting out there by himself) Atama no ikareta yatsu (Is crazy) Niji no ue kara shoben (Takes a piss from above a rainbow) Warera ga himo to yobu (We call him our pimp) LSD no machi kara (He left the town of LSD) Hanere, gaki wo osore (He was scared of bad kids) Asa ga mada konai no wo (There is still time before the morning) Saiwai na koto ni (Fortunately) As you see, the meaning is ambiguous (as with English part). Maybe what matters for Damo was not what the words convey but how they resonate with the music (and a feel of strangeness and exoticness created by the use of Japanese), I guess. I hope this helps. |
