I've started listening to many videos of Portishead live in order to understand the lyrics, but I still have a lot of difficulties...

In youtube.com/watch it sounds like she says:

"Widow or wife, (?)(Makes no sense though) When will I sleep? Where do I go/What will I know with all that I got?"

Or "What/when will I know, in all that I got" could also be. It's really hard to listen to.

In youtube.com/watch :

"Riddle of life (I like this better, because it makes much more sense, but it still sounds much like a "w" sound.) When will I sleep What do/would? I know (Or, as someone else said, "When will I go?") In all that I got?"

In youtube.com/watch it kinda sounds like

"Where do I go In all that I know?"

youtube.com/watch

"What do I know, In all that I've got?"

Album version (The hardest imo.)

"When and(/or?) why, Will I sleep? What do I know, And where do I go?"

In youtube.com/watch

"Widow of why (?) ("Widow of war" makes more sense... but I really here an "y" at the end of that word. Perhaps she says "Window"?) When will I sleep? What do I know In all that I got?" (The "got" sounds like "go", so I'm not really sure.)

youtube.com/watch

"Widow of life When will I sleep? Where will I go, with all that I got?" ("Got" still sounds like "go", but the beginning doesn't match!)

There's a lot other videos, some have quite a decent quality, but I can't hear anything different than that I've already heard. So, basically:

"Widow of life/war / Widow or wife / Riddle of life / When or why When will I sleep? Where do I go / What do/would I know / What will I know / Where will I go ? With all that I got/know / In all that I got/know "

I'm also quite sure she says "Tears on tears" and not "tears and tears".

I know that I'm only creating more confusion, and this probably won't help a lot. I even started thinking at some point that she just sings different lyrics every time. Anyway, the fact that I'm not a native english speaker might be a factor in my interpretation of the lyrics.

This is my favourite song, and that's why I've put so much effort into understanding it. I hope we can clarify what she really says.
