Re: What do the lyrics mean?
Speaking of understanding crocodile lyrics and being Australian.....

I've seen a few times it asked what the vocoder bit is in the middle. If you get the Innervisions Orchestra Mix (from The Bells! The Bells!), it's out on its own and much clearer. However, it's still not entirely clear what he's saying.

Having listened to it a few times, the only way I can understand it is as Japanese - sounds roughly like "mizu kappu mabuse" -> 水カップまぶせ -> "Cover [up] the cup [of] water".

Vital information, I'm sure
