Can any1 provide me with the CORRECT lyrics to "Mountains"? Unless I'm misunderstanding the ones posted on other sites, they're totally bogus.
Thanks!

Try one of those. If ya havn't been.
I'm 2 lazy 2 do it myself.

I always thought he was saying: "Bobby undercover". I guess that "Bobby on the drum-ah" sort of makes more sense but is less exciting.

i always thought it was "mommy undercover"

Anxiety said:

Tell me about your childhood...

BinaryJustin said:

I thought it was "Bobby mothafucka".

No. No. No.

It's not Bobby Under-cover.

It's Vagina Undertaker.


Go listen to it again.

Mountains

Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and 2gether they would be
The only thing that ever made U cry

U said the devil told U that another mountain would appear
Every time somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would one day overflow with all your tears
And love will always leave U lonely

CHORUS:
But I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe (Oh yeah!)
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me

Once upon a time in a haystack of despair
Happiness is sometime hard 2 find there
Africa divided, hijack in the air
It's enough 2 make U wanna lose your mind

CHORUS

Guitars and drums on the 1, huh
(Bobby on the drum-ah)
Yeah!

It's only mountains (oh yeah) and the sea
(And the girls say)
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me

(Starvation)
Ow!

Mountains , uh

that is one of the hardest to get without reading the lyrics.

i thought it was Bobby on drummer....like prince got confused....and mixed up 2 sentences.....bobby our drummer....and bobby on drums.....

anyway...i always sang...bobby on drummer

i want to know what the deal is with the "starvation" bit.

violett said:

Actually, Violett, I always felt the same thing. It sounds exactly like 'Bobby on Drummah!'

I never agreed with DTT.

Then again, I also think he's saying "My love will be your fool" as opposed to "food" in the lyrics to "KISS".

i think the first two verses of Mountains illustrate what a brilliant, imaginative writer he is.

really wish he would add it to the acoustic set....

Wasn't it co-written with Wendy and Lisa? I'm sure that's what W&L said when they performed the song at the old Town and Country Club in Kentish Town (now called The Forum) many moons ago.

That was an excellent gig, btw.

i dont have the lyrics in front of me but i'll put on the cd and type them out the best i can
by listening to the song


Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 muffins stood so high
i stood around some tea and together
they were the only thing that ever made u cry

u said the devil told u that another muffin would appear
everytime somebody broke your car
he said the sea one day would flow with oil
and the muffins will always leave u hungry

But I say it's only muffins and some tea
Love will conquer if U just believe (Oh yeah!)
It's only muffins and some tea
There's nothing better gravy (oh), 4 U and me

Once upon a time in a haystack of diapers
hippos are sometime hard 2 find there
Africa divided, crackerjack in the air
It's enough 2 make U wanna lose your mind

But I say it's only muffins and some tea
Love will conquer if U just believe (Oh yeah!)
It's only muffins and some tea
There's nothing but gravy (oh), 4 U and me

Guitars and drugs on the 1, huh
(Bobby on the tuna-ah)
Yeah!

It's only muffins (oh yeah) and some tea
(And the geese say)
There's nothing but gravy (oh),4 U and me

(Starvation)
Ow!

the best i can make out without the actual lyrics but i think i came pretty close
