Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath: "Oh no no please Gold help me"
I heard: "Oh no no please don't help me" (I thought this was about the protagonist of the song considering if he should be Satan's "chosen one" or not ...) Threshold, Siege of Baghdad: "The mighty cross of Jerusalem" I heard: "The mighty corpse of Jerusalem" If you speak German, you might mishear "Zïss ünt ëtnah" in Magma's Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh as "Siehst du Edna?" (Do you see Edna?) Edited by Skalla-Grim - January 26 2016 at 05:05 |

It's hard to initial karma. But bad karma comes back to bite people in the ass.
And it is hard to say the sheet music is definitive beyond any shadow of a doubt. The chords are played in substantially different positions by Mr. Howe. Edited by RockHound - August 09 2015 at 16:09 |

It's "instant comment.'' Apparently Jon was into text messaging long before the rest of us. Here is the official sheet music from Yes Complete vol. 1:

From Robert Wyatt's "Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road", I always thought that when Robert sings "Can you see them?" I always mishear it as "Count your semen".

At the end of the song "Beyond They Dwell" off of Glass Hammer's album Perilous, Jon concludes the chorus by singing loudly "onward!" and I thought at first he had said "awkward!"

I guess it must be, but how do you send "an instant karma" to someone? although I guess there's no point in asking Anderson's lyrics to make sense.... [/QUOTE]
Yep, it makes as much sense as a purple wolfhound anyway. [/QUOTE]
Now I think a purple wolfhound makes PERFECT sense. Particularly a shining flying one.

Pretty sure karma is correct (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/yes/iveseenallgoodpeople.html) but I always thought it was "comet" until a few years ago. I guess the reference to Instant Karma/Lennon fits in with them singing "Give Peace a Chance" at the end. |

Really? I thought it was supposed to be "instant comment". You mean I've been hearing it correctly all these years??? I'm in shock.

I always heard "instant karma" and thought, that's nice, he's quoting John Lennon.
