[Xjmwy]

by the way, im pretty amazed the audience got this song so good, especially in the chorus. as far as i know, in time wasnt even releasedin the summer of 2003.

Okay, what the hell are Mike Mills' lyrics at the beginning?

I've been trying to figure it out for years.

[Xjmwy]

@foxkieran he tries to imitate michael stipe in the 80s ;)

no really, i have no idea,... but he could sing anything there, its about the melody.

[Willburys]

[Krazytaco9]

[bollpwnbay]

@Krazytaco9

may be connected to homosexuality. just a thought.

[Krazytaco9]

@bollpwnbay yeah i see your point exactly it would make sense

[bollpwnbay]

@Krazytaco9

it's like, everybody wants to show him the right way, but he's independent. he knows his way. he's an "animal"

[Krazytaco9]

[Simoasis81]

no,my english is ugly but it sounds like "don't think a silent wisdom or silent world"..just in the beginning..

[keitaro2582]

You mean after he says, "Point me to the stars I'm out further chase"? Well, he says, "I know when we fell on our face, jump with me you jump with me, hey!".

[BirdofSaxony]

Actually, it's "Point me to the stars I'm up for the chase." But you're right with the second thing.

[Simoasis81]

can someone tell me what mike says before michael says "hey,what's big deal?"

[xsaiter]

he looks like hugh laurie :-)
