I’m in agreement with “out of”.

The me/my ambiguity is just due to the scouse mis-pronunciation of “my” so err that clears that up!

I played it on my nice CD player for once, and I’m going to agree with both “out of” and “me”, Bill.

Also, I’ve come down on the side of “Gonna get me syringes out and crank up once again”, which means we’re getting perilously close to the as-printed lyrics (thanks Dave F) after all…

Having had my ears recently syringed I think its time to revisit the disputed lyrics of ‘Time Flies By’ and the votes of the Weston-Super-Mare jury are as follows:

I think it should be ‘speeding out of Trumpton’ not ‘into Trumpton’
and I also think its
‘get me syringes out and crank up once again’ but I could be persuaded that its ‘my’ not ‘me’ if the Oxford jury insist.

Bill

Hmm… yeah, somewhere… let me see… Yep, got it.

OK, Differences:
The Y or N is whether I agree with the booklet

The list of the brigade members have commas between them. (Y)

Let it happen.. line is in brackets (Y)

Speeding out of Trumpton… (N)

Touching down in Camberwick I’m stoned out of my brain (Y)

And they always smash my windows ‘cause the home side always wins (N)

On the next line ‘Yeah’ is not written (N)
Time flies by when you’re the driver of a train (N)

Gotta get these syringes out… (N)

to crank up once again (Y)

…and some people think it’s “I’m” (not “and” or “Green”). Anyone have the old lyric book to hand?

I always thought it was ‘touching down in Camberwick Green stoned out of my brain…’ ?? Just replayed the song 5 times over (well the bit between 1m 15s – 1 m 20s) and I’m convinced he sings ‘Green’ at 1m 17s…Am I sad??

Lyric book says “Gotta” on syringes line.

Me, I disagree, “gonna” sounds right. Hey, who knows?!?
