@[nergal:37655] It is only my opinion and I am probably wrong. On one of the live recordings Stipe clearly sings 'March could be darker' twice and in other versions he uses two separate words with the other being 'Porch' so I guess he is inconsistent with the lyrics. In the rough mix it does indeed sound like he is singing, "The baaarrrrrn..." but then it ends with a 'ch' sound so it cannot be. What they are hunting I have no idea but I feel sorry for it. |

@[nergal:37651] I've listened to several versions, including live versions and the rough mix. The first line is definitely: "The Porch" and the second is definitely: "March" |

@[nergal:37650] The word definitely has an 'r' sound at the end and 'target' has a 't' sound. I assumed it getting dark was connected to the mention of it being 9 O' Clock. |

| @[nergal:37646] Looks like it should be right but it's definitely 'darker' | |

"They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off" This is some sort of play on people rubbing the nose of statues for luck which wears the nose of a statue down. Stipe has flipped it so it is the people going up to Lenin, or his statue, that has a worn nose and not a statue of Lenin. |
