Starrox said on January 31, 2003 11:42:
I couldn’t chew those muffins I used to (?)
I knew I was way over the moon
Starrox said on January 31, 2003 11:44:
I’m living in a box but i’m out when opportunity nox (...)
We already know that part ;-)

I think we missed sth in the beginning..I can’t understand what Per is saying..
Starrox said on January 31, 2003 11:49:
Except for:
When I met you when I met you I didn’t know what to do
When I saw you, when I saw _I_ said
Santi said on January 31, 2003 11:50:
maybe it’s a “talk-box” like in Bon Jovi “It’s my life”. I think he says “opportunity nox” in that effect.
Santi said on January 31, 2003 12:08:
OPPORTUNITY NOX
(Talk boxed: “opportunity nox opportunity nox...” ¿?)
Well, I like you
I couldn’t think of anything but you
For a week I was in love with your hairdo
I couldn’t chew those smart things I used to
I knew I was way over the moon
Bridge:
When I met you when I met you I didn’t know what to do
When I saw you, when I saw you you said:
Chorus:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but i’m out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but I’m out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m dying in a box but I’m out when opportunity rox on
I’m sleeping and I’m dreaming so solo
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
you couldn’t get it right in the disco
You’re dancing so much better in slo-mo
Bridge:
When I met you when I met you I didn’t know what to do
When I saw you, when I saw you you said.
Chorus:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but i’m out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but I’m out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m dying in a box but I’m out when opportunity rox on
Tapping guitar solo
Bridge:
When I met you when I met you I didn’t know what to do
When I saw you, when I saw you you said.
Chorus:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but i’m out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but I’m out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m dying in a box but I’m out when opportunity ROX

I couldn’t chew those muffins I used to
>>> I couldnt chew those smart things i used to??
cskendras said on January 31, 2003 12:11:
yes, this “box-talk” is like bon jovis “it’s my life” and i could easily recognize “opportunity nooox”
Santi said on January 31, 2003 12:13:
After I come back from the post office I go for the guitar :D
Yeah, “smart things”, sorry :D

Guys i am soooooo HAPPY and full of energy!!!!
Haha, muffins should stay they’re way more Sweedish :D :D
And this one:
I saw you in the crowd in the front row hmmm I am speechless, it is a song about us ;)))
It is really LOUD at my place now, poor neighbours!!!
THANKS EVERYONE FOR HELP!!! It was absolutely worth the wait... :)
gyllene_tjej said on January 31, 2003 13:01:
and speaking of these muffins/the smart things, can it also possibly be the small things??
My hearing isn’t sharp enough, too much Rox music haha :)

I couldn’t chew these Smarties I used to...
Although you can’t really chew Smarites...
gyllene_tjej said on January 31, 2003 13:09:

carbon_boy said on January 31, 2003 14:07:
I think MrG says “Opportunity calling” in the beginning.....
Starrox said on January 31, 2003 14:19:
Hehe, I guess the fact I hadn’t really eaten something when trying to find out the lyrics is responsible for the muffins... don’t know how I could hear THAT! *LOL*
daniel_alv said on January 31, 2003 14:48:
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
is he singing about a fan?
gyllene_tjej said on January 31, 2003 15:01:

Santi said on January 31, 2003 22:46:
Definitely and listening to the “CD Quality MP3” I would say he says “Oportunity calling” in the beginning talk boxed and then “smart things”, not muffins :D
cskendras said on January 31, 2003 23:07:
@santi: could you please send me the mp3 with the cd-quality-track of ON?? just forward the mail you got with the mp3 to [email protected] would be very nice from you!!!
gyllene_tjej said on February 1, 2003 00:29:
@Criz mouse: yezzz....that’s FREAKY!!!

The song is soooo amazing, had to state it once again :)
Santi said on February 1, 2003 11:51:
@cskendras: Sorry, I went to bed just after writing that, so I couldn’t. I guess you have it now :)
vaxjoe said on February 1, 2003 14:57:
at the 2nd and 3rd bridge is “i said!” instead of “u said” i think
lonely_girl said on February 1, 2003 18:11:
Damn it, I have to wait till monday until I can listen to it. No soundcard on our PC :’(
GTiG said on February 1, 2003 18:12:
Yea I also thought it should be “small things”... but now I’m not sure. Can be “smart things” to.
I fact, I think it shall be “smart things”.
And as for the talking in the beginning... I think it says “Opportunity calling”. Which got me thinging about the song “Jupiter Calling”.... dunno why though.
//GTiG who gives ON + + + + + out of 5 possible.
Starrox said on February 1, 2003 18:32:
All I can hear’s “opportunity nox”... no calling anywhere! *shrug*
