I’d like to rescue her from unicyclists

OK, if only to distract attention from arguments about “elms” and “alms”, let’s have another one which is going to encourage some wild speculation. Children of Apocalyptic Techstep is one of those songs where the guitar is occasionally just a bit too forward in the mix for the lyrics analysts. Odd song this, even the hmhb site doesn’t have too much to say about it. Thanks to Peter

  1. “Come on, come on, begone, futon, begone!”

    “I, I, I, I, I will always hate them” (as in the inverse of that bloody Whitney Houston song which I imagine is a common funeral ditty).

    Fredorrarci,

    Agree completely with your additions. Just listened again and couldn’t believe how I missed them.

    Assuming no alterations to the other lyrics, I make that only one word missing.

    Only one word to go; how about “beyond the throng of Eastern sages lies a stream”?

    I agree with Fredorrarci aswell and is it
    “Beyond the brook of eastern sages lies a stream”

  5. Yep, those’ll do for me, although as ever, your mileage may vary, and other lyrics are available.

    Here comes The Black Horse...

    ...There goes the Brown Cow
