November 4, 201114 yr ^^ no the lyric has definitely always been "amen", watch any live performance with the camera on him while he sings it. Yeah I've thought that from the beginning too, and it fits the song perfectly. I know this makes no sense whatsoever but I would wager a significant amount of monopoly money on the idea that Chris actually says "Spray Tan Soul" the second time on the album version of HLH. Like some sort of inside joke.
November 4, 201114 yr Really? I've always heard it as "Oh morning, come bursting, the clouds, they mend." As in, the clouds mend.....which brings some sort of image of clouds rearranging in a pretty way (see: Paradise music video, after the 1st chorus). "Oh morning come bursting, the clouds amen" is not grammatically complete and doesn't make sense. That's how I hear/see it at least. Well it would be "Oh Morning come bursting the clouds. Amen." And then it is grammatically correct.
November 4, 201114 yr Ohhh I see it now. I hope that isn't the lyric though just because I don't want to be wrong about this, and because that's a really random place to say, "amen."
November 4, 201114 yr Well it would be "Oh Morning come bursting the clouds. Amen." And then it is grammatically correct. I always thought this :nod:
November 4, 201114 yr Nice, cant wait for Side B EDIT: Just listened to Side A while reading the official lyrics and I agree some of the lyrics are wrong!!
November 4, 201114 yr They must hire some random person to write the lyrics while they listen to the album, because some of these are so wrong.... (Or maybe they're right! Noooo!)
November 4, 201114 yr Charlie Brown is missing a line or two? correct me if i'm wrong.... maybe i'm just listening wrong or overhearing something that isn't there... light a fire up by the smoke light a fire a flame in my heart bold and italicized is missing right?
November 4, 201114 yr Why oh why did they publish lyrics that differ from what it sung on the CD? Someone ought to ask the Oracle (not me, she never answers me :bigcry:) You know the story of Daniel and the lion's den right? Whether you know it or not, someone in a lion's den isn't a good thing. So just imagine a drunk, hazard Daniel in a lion's den. A REALLY bad thing. :laugh3: I'm assuming he sees himself this Daniel. Well, that's what I took from it anyway. ;)Yep, I also think that this person sees himself as Daniel in the den. The name Daniel makes a huge different with any person that could be in the den. Ruben made a painting named "Daniel in the Lion's Den" which is about Daniel from the Bible. The king was angry because Daniel kept on believing in God while the King prohibited him to do so. So the king threw Daniel in a pit filled with lions, so the loins would shred him to pieces. But the lions would not touch him so the king let him out after a while. (correct me if I tell the story wrong) In Ruben's painting Daniel is sitting in the den surrounded by lions. Daniel doesn't know yet that the lions mean no harm to him, so he is praying fiercefully to his God to survive this hazardous situation. It is this moment I think Chris is referring to in his lyrics. Mylo is our rebel hero (like Daniel was a rebel in his time) thrown in the den by society. He is feeling right there what Daniel must have felt when he was thrown in the den. (still don't know where 'drunken' fits in though)

(still don't know where 'drunken' fits in though) Hazard might be in the sense of a bet, so he's saying his drunken bet has no chance? Also, it was a band of cretins who tricked the king into having to throw Daniel into the den; the king didn't really want to do it. After he found Daniel alive on the third day, he threw the cretins into the lion's den and they got eaten.
November 5, 201114 yr Thanks for correcting the Daniel story, I am not really familiar with those biblical stories :S Wow, and I didn't know hazard also meant bet. Sucks to not have English as a native language sometimes. I just looked up the definitions of hazard and you’re right, it might well be hazard as in bet/chance. I might now go to deep into it and speculate way too much, but right now I think I can place the drunken hazard better if it seen as an unsteady chance (which seems a pleonasm, because the nature of chance is unsteady). I don’t think drunken should be used as intoxicated too, but more like the effect of intoxication. So the hazard is unsteady by nature, and hazard might mean chance, so he feels like Daniel in a lion’s den (I think we can agree on that at least) and he feels like this is due to a happening/situation involving chance. If he is rebelling Mylo here, then it might be his rebelling that got him into trouble (rebelling is the risky thing here) and this lead to him feeling like Daniel in a loin’s den. - Of course it could be something totally different too. I was also thinking about his lost friend who could be the one who is in the loin’s den because Mylo did something stupid (the drunken hazard).
November 5, 201114 yr If I might hazard another opinion... Hazard might be used in the sense of present...he's hazarding himself as a drunken Daniel in the lion's den...it's quite poetic I think.

November 8, 201114 yr So it’s over This time I know it’s gone Sal****er Been tasting it too long :laugh3: I love how salt water is censored. haha :lol:
November 8, 201114 yr Uhh, did the rest of the UFO lyrics grow legs and run away or something..?:confused:
November 8, 201114 yr LOL thats so funny! Anyway, a lot of these are really surprising lyrics. DLIBYH actually makes sense now.
November 8, 201114 yr POC: Have to go and throw water on my flame? --> didnt know it DLIBYH: When you’re tired of ?racing? Still you never hit the mark
November 8, 201114 yr POC: Have to go and throw water on my flame? --> didnt know it DLIBYH: When you’re tired of ?racing? Still you never hit the mark That one of DLIBYH is definitely wrong.... He clearly sings ''When you're tired of aiming your arrows, still you never hit the mark'' It's really bad they don't even know the real lyrics.
November 8, 201114 yr Have I always misheard "dream out loud til it's true" on UWTB (b/c i loved that line) or is that another one of the countless mistakes?
November 8, 201114 yr Awful lyrics. U.F.O's lyrics, as Rvs_009 said, are half missing! Where are the ohoohhooohoohs i always luagh when I see them written down :o
November 8, 201114 yr wow either the guy who wrote the lyrics is deaf or he's drunken ! I swear! It's embarrassing!
November 8, 201114 yr BTW Chris doesn't repeat "Send me up to that wonderful world And then I’m up with the birds" like the "official lyrics" say
November 8, 201114 yr Come on , still got such a long way to row? haha he really sings ''go'' , did really nobody bother to just check the lyrics?
