I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed right now. I have always loved this song ——- and this who entire album, but for the very first time after listening to this track probably at least 300 times (yes, just like the person who replied to the only other comment——-that’s where I got the number 300 from——- but it’s probably true for me also).
The actual lyrics are different from what I always thought they were. I never really knew what he was saying to be honest. But what I thought I was hearing was a whole lot different than what is listed.
First off, every single one of the background singers lyrics (shown in parentheses) all seem rather lame in my opinion. They don’t match the overall feel of this song at all in my opinion.
And …… a few other things I’ll mention:
-I’m not hearing “you bought the same old trip”. That’s BS I think. I hear him saying “You’re on the same old trip. So —-say you’re on a rage. You’re on the same old trip”. This is what I’ve been hearing since first listened to this cd, not long after it first came out. I can’t make out exactly what he says in between, but it sounds like “So in a say you’re on a rage” ——- and of course this makes no sense. But it makes perfect sense to me after 300 listens. It doesn’t have to make sense. It just sounds like what he’s saying. That’s all.
-Then, when he apparently says “Lawful, vengeful, awful…” I have always heard him say “My phone rings for, my phone, friendship, misfits, a piss off, feelings …… and then a lot of gobbledygook more or less. But like I said after all this time, those lyrics don’t need to make sense to me. Granted, I can’t really sing along with this. But the music makes up for that. The music on this song (and pretty much every song on this cd) blows almost everything I’ve ever heard from this genre out of the water. Only Chevelle themselves have the songs from this cd beat, with songs they recorded and released on their previous albums prior to this one.
