Are you serious no one knows? You really don't want me to attempt to put out my rendition. I am horrible with understanding lyrics in songs. But I will post my best errrr worst if no one can come through :)

I'm still pretty certain the lyrics to that Blinded By the Light song goes

"Blinded by the light
wrapped up like a DOUCHE in the middle of the the night"

And that The Who song goes...

hoooooo WALLY .... hoot hoot ... hoot hoot

also talking of lyrics (i still can't work out what the chorus is in REM's the sidewinder sleeps tonight)???

I should really know this by now as its still my fav from OT, but I can't really say I've sat down and actually listened to the lyrics. Its just - Heavy!,
John 8)

606

fire streamed from your eyes to my head

when the sea stopped
when the star began
since you followed me
kill the sun

it is bothering
half of everyone
its a madness
of the lies

shadow from the eyes
people in the fight
it runs straight to me
to the top

soon the blinds will come
time will be undone
fall apart again
its to feel

From the beginning of time until the end?

Big bang to armageddon?

yeah - i've come to the conclusion that i'm not into this track as it is. it sounded ok to start with but after several listens sounds turgid. like the drums though. they are nice and tight. and the bassline's got a good quality to it.

in my honest opinion, some of the lyrics are good, but some of the lyrics sound like whoever wrote it having a mid-life crisis (possibly written after a really heavy bender with the alabamas!). i'm sure they'll get over it. :wink:

'606' and 'Crossword' are my least favourite 808 tracks ever i think.

'606' to me is a track full of contradictions and sounds only half-finished.

if i could re-mix tracks i'd lift the 'when the start began', 'from your eyes to my head', 'i found everyone', 'everyone is a manifest of the light' and 'time will be undone' words and sprinkle them liberally over the track at appropriate moments, make it a bit 'lighter', funk it up, speed it up a bit and make it more trancey/hypnotic/swirly (like a good night at the megadog). i'd like to see someone like layo and bushwacka!, nubreed, andy weatherall, the chemicals or 808 re-mix it like that. :)

imo that would be quality! :)
