Keeping an open eye on the Weeping Angels.
I have this bootleg (MP3 sourced, I might add) and have a question about it. Man on the Edge (the opener) starts OK, but the lyrics are sung as thus:
The freeway is jammed
And it's backed up for miles
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven, are they looking down
Nothing is fair just you look around
Completely missing the lyrics:
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
The gap seems seamless and, unless you knew the track, would not even notice the error. When the verse is repeated later in the track, it is sung correctly.
The question is, is this as the bootleg should be or did Blaze screw up (he was renowned for forgetting the odd lyric, after all) and the rest of the band, been the pros as they are, realise and act accordingly?
