Misheard lyrics

[Edington]

I can kind of hear the M11 bit, but not getting "bike" at all. I hear it as "boiks" if anything

 

[Diesel 11]

That’s probably because he’s saying it in a different accent to be funny.

 

[Edington]

I did wonder if it was an attempt at a West Country accent.

 

[Diesel 11]

Yeah, it definitely sounds like “boiks” though.

 

[Number 6]

According to Genius:
“Get on your M11; get on your bike!”

Makes sense, I can hear that. But he appears to say something else after "bike", doesn't he?

 

[Diesel 11]

I think it’s just him laughing.

He does - it sounds like "you racing spiv".

 

[Number 6]

He does - it sounds like "you racing spiv".

Yes!

I guess that no member of this forum knows that Yupol is the company for painting and decorating in Serbia.

You're kidding, right?

Jupol is a wall paint, manufactured by Jub, Slovenian company, who produces wall paints.

 

[Сури Вук]

I thought there would be someone who knows about it. That's right, it's the paint, not the company. And it's from Slovenia, just doing business in Serbia.
Anyway... Back in the day, when I was a kid, I heard Wickerman on the radio, and that particular part I could not understand. I knew Bruce wasn't saying Yupol, but you have to sing something while doing air guitar with your tennis racket. So, later on I found out the entire Wickerman celtic stuff and cracked the lyrics before getting BNW CD. And then, although I knew the lyrics, occassionally I'd sing "new porn". You know... I was a teenager, and the words "You watch" weren't helpfull at all
Still, it has some esotheric meaning. Watching new porn in the light- watching adult video without fear of being caught.

BTW... @frus Честитке на пласману у финале Светског првенства.

 

[Iron Lurker]

Friend of mine thought that Bruce was singing "Normalize" instead of "No More Lies"....

[Veratheduck]

I can't sing 'Fear Of The Dark' now I realise it sounds like 'Vera The Duck'. It's hard to take it seriously anymore.

Could have been said, I'm not checking.

This is gold.

"You can choose to look but not to see and waste your arse"

I originally thought it was "waste your eyes".

Which sort of makes sense in the context, but isn't that funny, hence I didn't bother to post it before .

Me too. Only now did I check the lyrics because of your post. I think I prefer "eyes" over "hours" actually

 

[MW564]

For a very long time i couldn't possibly fathom what it could be other than "arse"
