October 17, 201114 yr 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
October 17, 201114 yr I thought it was "Let's fly, split the sky" EDIT: ^ lol you were faster than me
October 17, 201114 yr 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
October 17, 201114 yr 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!
October 17, 201114 yr Author 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 :)
October 17, 201114 yr Sure it's not "it just seems that upstream I keep rolling"? How can you roll upstream? :facepalm: :laugh3: It's rowing.
October 18, 201114 yr 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
October 18, 201114 yr 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.
October 19, 201114 yr I keep hearing "then at last It's your ass" LOL haha, love this song soooo much!!! :lol:
October 20, 201114 yr 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?)
October 21, 201114 yr 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
October 21, 201114 yr 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?
October 22, 201114 yr I think these Japanese lyrics were made by ear by some EMI Japan employee. These are more wrong than my lousy understanding capability.
October 23, 201114 yr 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?
October 25, 201114 yr I'm hearing "Been that life". Next part possibly could be "It's your ride/right".
