Guest Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Does anybody else struggle to decipher the lyrics of some of our great floor fillers? I've struggled with the lyrics of the verses of Cashing In for years! Any assistance greatly appreciated and maybe this thread can help other members solve their lyrical mysteries!
Our Kid Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 The one I am starting to doubt at the moment is Dean Courtney Love You Just Can't Walk Away. Always thought it said You Can Depart - But The Prize Is To Stay now wondering if he sings But You Promised To Stay?? Any thoughts out there. Thanks. Paul

This is my take on it....................I think its a euphemism for having an affair, she is cashing him in cause he's been a naughty boy.................then again, she could be a bank teller for all I know BTW, I've just sang this to myself and typed it after a 'couple of Voddies' .........................................probably nothing like the song!! I told you boy, the day that we met, consider yourself a millionaire And as long as you do the very things that are true then our love will be a ??? to understand But here lately I find you’re not taking your sweet time, handling your business right You are writing all those bad cheques you can’t cover, slow down cause the money getting tight Always taking out and never putting in, just how long do ya thing it could last And when I found your hand in my deposit box, that was the last straw I can’t take it no more Im cashing in, yeah, to make a balance on my account, said I gave you every chance to take care of business but I think Ill have to close you out Bar…… Im cashin in, Im cashin in on ya baby Always taking out and youre never putting in, just how long, how long, do ya thing it could last And when I found your hands in my deposit box, that was the last straw I cant take it no more Im cashin in, cashin in on ya baby mmmmmmmmmm Said I gave you every chance to take care of your business but I think Ill have to close you out Im cashin in………………… 1

Epic Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) I used to have the album. I am sure the lyrics are on the inner sleeve & iirc there is a verse printed that is not actually used in the song. Edited August 28, 2016 by epic
Mick Holdsworth Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Eddie Daye - Guess What I'm Singing. Apart from the chorus, I'm alright all the way up to the first line "You've heard rumours of a secret admirer". After that I haven't a clue. Cheers Mick

Rotherham Soul Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Never been able to make out what the invitations were mumbling on about in Ski-ing In the Snow, It always sounds as they were making up the lyrics as they went along, andas for wigans ovation the less said the better
Guest Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Southside Movement, that's it! "Bust my pants"? Are you sure? Lyrics aren't what they used to be. ? How's about Kiss My Love Goodbye "A taxi is waiting.......???????........by the time you realise I'm leaving, that's the time I'll be long gone." And at the beginning " I don't wanna hear it, theres nothing to say, ain't no use in your sweet talking voice.......(cos the peas got right in your way)......??? That's what I hear!!!! ? Not much soulfulness about peas!!

Guest Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Me neither!!! Amazing. And thanks for the heads up on Jody. I thought that was what it said but couldn't see the relevance of the name Jody, but I reckon "Joe D" may well be the answer to that one. ?
Guest Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Here's another. The Vibrations, Coz Youre Mine. Its the bit in the middle mostly. Sounds like he's singing "Fling me, fling me, fling me, oh fling me oh do". That's what I hear.....but it's definitely not what he's singing!!! ?
Jaco Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 There's a few for me but the one that always baffles me is in one of the greatest tracks ever laid down. Tavares - Let me heal the bruises. I cant just quite get the lyrics in two places. "I'll be the same thing I've always been to you, a hand to hold onto when you needed a friend................................ and baby you know you can depend" "I'll forget my pride and push it to the side......................" One for Kev and the sweet and deep guys, maybe. 2
