Hej everyone!

Sorry about bringing this silly topic up but I wanted to share it with you. All replies are very welcome!

1) Drowning in wonderful thoughts about her
Christofer’s saying something in the very begining.
2) I never quite got over the fact that The Beatles broke up
Helena says something in the very begining as well. I guess it’s “Listen, ...” but don’t get the rest!

3) Carousel
Before the “She takes you in and then wears you out” line is a radio transmission. I guess it’s almost impossible to understand what they say. I just wonder if there’s something really hidden there. And if it’s english or swedish.
At the end of the song people are clapping and shouting. One shouts “Bravo!” at the very end, right before the guitar from ILILT starts.

4) Not listed in the official lyrics from Substitute, there’s a line where Per goes: “Well let me tell ya, ...” and I don’t get the rest.

Do you have more of these?

“Well, let me tell ya, BETTER” ?

At least that´s what I heard ! :)

Don´t know the others, sorry. But doesn´t this radio transmission sound very alike Brainpool´s radio transmission in the song “High” (Great song too, BTW).

All the best
LoneGunman

For me it sounds more like “Well, let me tell ya, FELLOW!”

I’m hearing: “Well, let me tell ya, brother!”.

Sire74 said on December 18, 2005 09:21:

Ok, after listening again it really sounds like BROTHER! :)

About the begining phrase, a swedish friend (Ted) told me it’s “Du Per, skriv inte nu” (“You Per, do not write now”). It makes sense to me ... let me hear your opinions!

Vixzter said on December 20, 2005 23:45:

i think it sounds more like bother

Leila said on December 21, 2005 04:09:

I think it is brother

RobS said on December 21, 2005 09:23:

About the radio transmission: there are kind of two parts. in the second one I understand something like “...the second in a serious of...”. So it’s definitely English.

maybe this are nice questions for Per himself, on the SOAP-page?
Would be a lot more original then the “when do you come to my country”-questions.

Yeah, I’ve posted the questions previously ... hope Mr G himself gets to answer them!
