actually it's a perfect interpretation, drunk villalobos is dreaming of hustlers in california while driving a big cadillac in the sun... hahah, i hope this discussion never ends!

I just heard an untreated demo version somewhere on youtube and as pointed out earlier the real lyrics seem to only be a variation of "getting more fun", "time to run" and "easy lee".

I did hear "game of thrones" the last time I listened to this

Michael F Gill, Friday, 27 January 2017 02:04 (seven years ago) link

He MUST be saying 'chemicals'. It's the only word I can clearly hear in the whole song.

Musical Rorschach test? Maybe I just have flashbacks from hearing 'Born Slippy' too many times.

viborg, Friday, 27 January 2017 06:20 (seven years ago) link

"time to run" and "easy lee" are the ones that are heard clearly. The other is supposed to say "getting more fun" but I always hear Skeleton or Kill a Ton.

dance cum rituals (Moka), Friday, 27 January 2017 07:24 (seven years ago) link

I don't hear 'chemicals' instead of 'time to run' at all.

dance cum rituals (Moka), Friday, 27 January 2017 07:26 (seven years ago) link

There are very marked R and T sounds in the second and third line respectively which 'chemicals' does not have. At least I think they are but english is not my first language.

due to recent trends I keep hearing the lyrics as “CBD” now

I thought this revive would be, in some way, related to the new Bergsonist EP on Optimo Digital but since it's not then...

i remember being at a party (that i think philip sherburne was dj'ing the side room) and someone played easy lee, and my friend was pumping his fist singing along "eaasy leee, kill the poor, kill the poor, kill the poor, kill the poor, time to run in the streets." but i think those are not the correct lyrics.

"this atmosphere, this paradise atmosphere we had in this garden, and we were about to lose this paradise. It’s really, like, in between melancholic, a very sad thing, and a very happy thing."

what I've always heard is

Easy Lee
