Lord I don't know which way I am going

which way river gonna flow

it just seems that upstream I keep rowing

still got such a long way to go (x2)

 

then that light

it's your eye

I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold

bullets fly

split the sky

but that's all right, sometime sunlight i'm streaming through the holes

 

oh-oh

This this is it.

it's 'Lets fly/Split the sky'

*But let's fly

I thought it was "Let's fly, split the sky"

 

EDIT: ^ lol you were faster than me

Here's my take on the lyrics:

 

Lord I don't know which way I am going

which way river gonna flow

it just seems that upstream I keep rowing

still got such a long way to go (x2)

 

then that light

it's your eye

I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold

Bullets fly

split the sky

but that's all right, sometimes sunlight I'm streaming through the holes

Bullets fly! That's right!

 

And paved with, think that's right too :D

Sure it's not "it just seems that upstream I keep rolling"?

Here's my take on the lyrics:

 

Lord I don't know which way I am going

which way river gonna flow

it just seems that upstream I keep rowing rolling?

still got such a long way to go (x2)

 

then that light

it's your eye

I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold

Bullets fly

split the sky

but that's all right, sometimes sunlight I'm streaming through the holes

 

Sounds like "sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes" to me. :)

 

I must say, this will surely become one of my favourite ever songs, it's just so lovely. It reminds me of the songs from Prospekt's March. :) And they are most wonderful!

I think that it's rowing, it just fits with rivers and flowing.. :)

 

But you guessed right at the "sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes" i suppose :)

Sure it's not "it just seems that upstream I keep rolling"?

 

How can you roll upstream?

 

:facepalm:

 

:laugh3:

 

It's rowing.

Lord I don't know which way I am going

Which way the river is gonna flow

It just seems that upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to go

Still got such a long way to go

 

Then that light

It's your eye

I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold

Bullets fly

Split the sky

But that's all right, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes

How can you roll upstream?

 

:facepalm:

 

:laugh3:

 

It's rowing.

 

It's an expression. It's also used in Us Against the World.

 

Example: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaAVJk1x97Y]The Kooks - Watching The Ships Roll In - YouTube[/ame]

 

And it's most definitely rolling. Listen very carefully.

I keep hearing

 

"then at last

It's your ass"

 

LOL

I keep hearing

 

"then at last

It's your ass"

 

LOL

 

haha, love this song soooo much!!! :lol:

I'm having trouble with "then that light, it's your eye". I think that's probably it, but I've seen a few different takes on it. "Then at last, it's your eye" (no) "then that light, hits your eye" (maybe?)

Hello, again! Here are the lyrics from my Japanese copy:

 

Lord I don't know which way I am going

Which way the river's going to flow

It just seems that upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to row

Still got such a long way to row

 

Then that light hits your eyes

And I know I swear we'll find somewhere

The streets are paved with gold

 

Ohohoh

Hello, again! Here are the lyrics from my Japanese copy:

 

Lord I don't know which way I am going

Which way the river's going to flow

It just seems that upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to row

Still got such a long way to row

 

Then that light hits your eyes

And I know I swear we'll find somewhere

The streets are paved with gold

 

Ohohoh

 

Do the Japanese lyrics include that last bit... the bullets fly, split the sky part?

I think these Japanese lyrics were made by ear by some EMI Japan employee.

 

These are more wrong than my lousy understanding capability.

Lord I don't know which way I am going

Which way the river is gonna flow

It just seems that upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to go

Still got such a long way to go

 

Then that light

Hits your eye

I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold

Bullets fly

Split the sky

But that's all right, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes

 

-------

 

That's my take on it, anyways :nod:

 

btw, I think that last verse (Bullets fly / Split the sky / But that's alright, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes) is absolutely brilliant :wacky: Am I the only one that thinks this?

it's amazing

It´s a lovely song!

I'm hearing "Been that life". Next part possibly could be "It's your ride/right".
