I noticed something today that I thought you might find interesting.

The Spoonman lyrics as seen typed by Karl here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigscreensatellite/3404771936/in/set-72157615478946019/), vary slightly from those shown in the Spoonman music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNUS8jR9svQ) as seen on "Footwear Repairs".

The lyric "nosmoking some" in the former, is "nosmoking zone" in the latter. Yes, a minor difference, but I thought I found it intriguing how it could change or evolve over time. I wonder how it happened.

Forget 'Official' lyrics, its just how you interperate them... im sure that when producing the Spoonman video, the person who made the typography wasn't that interested in getting it totally right, just went with what they thought they heard - thats the magic of Underworld.

It's "ride the train". I knew what the proper lyrics were by the time I listened to "Dark Train", but the first few times I heard Dark & Long I thought it was "right on time".

Until my lad was 8 or 9, he thought the "Crazy Crazy Crazy" in Pearls Girl was "Wedgie Wedgie Wedgie".

Go figure. :D
