Misheard lyrics

Dozed off during "Empire of the Clouds" and instead: the coxswain stared heard: four cocks were squared. Interesting scene.
 
Not a set of lyrics as such: what is being said over the intro of "The Number of the Beast" on A Real Dead One? It seems to end with "is it do mi fal sol" but it doesn't make any sense! :facepalm::D Help!

From Rime of the Ancient Mariner :

"and the ship sails on, back to the north
through the fucking ice and the albatross follows on"
Just wanted to say this one is legendary and still pops up now and then, also during Maiden fan meets.
 
Tonight, on silver wings, I am sorry for the mountains of the moon
 
It's been brought up numerous times already, but yeah, I'm another person who first heard "through the fucking ice" in Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Took me a few listens before I figured out what it was. :p
 
Fog and fuck is one of those phonetic similarities that artists use intentionally when they want to sing a dirty word with plausible deniability. For instance, "Apeman" by The Kinks has a line about how "the air pollution is foggin' up my eyes".
