Another PartyMan lyrics question

snowflake

There's another line by a woman in the song that is even
harder to make out than the one we discussed earlier and
it's right before

"if it break when it bend
you better not put it in"


it sounds like

"im 'onna knock you out -long time yo since"

so what is she saying?

biggrin

I always presumed it was backwards gibberish by Anna Fantastic but I remember that Smash Hits magazine (at the time) translated the lyrics as:

"I and I like you wee, but you no come on".

Personally, it always sounded French to me. But I don't know French enough to translate it. Maybe someone else around the Org can confirm the French language in that part or not.
Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
We only want everyday 2 b a Cosmic Day

In the furtherance of geekdom, this is a bit of a minor trivia mission of mine, to establish what is being said.

The DTT transcription undertaken several years ago is still classed as uncertain (i.e. the group was not agreed on the lyrics and came up with what they considered was closest but are not convinced

"Say I oughta knock U in, but don't come no"

Personally I think it sounds like it is from the Caribbean. If I'm correct, it's possible that it is a rastifarian voice sample and the closest I can get to is:

"Say I and I lock you away / like you're way
To Babylon come no."

Someone once reported (again several years ago) on the org that it is a sample that they had tracked down and they suggested wording similar to this, but I have never been able to verify it, or trace such a sample.
