U.F.O. Lyrics

[dadedade]

Lord I don't know which way I am going
which way river gonna flow
it just seems that upstream I keep rowing
still got such a long way to go (x2)

then that light
it's your eye
I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
bullets fly
split the sky
but that's all right, sometime sunlight i'm streaming through the holes

oh-oh

[dadedade]

This this is it.

[Bonus_mosher]

it's 'Lets fly/Split the sky'

[Alien Radio]

*But let's fly

[WeddingDom]

I thought it was "Let's fly, split the sky"

EDIT: ^ lol you were faster than me

[Empy]

Here's my take on the lyrics:

Lord I don't know which way I am going
which way river gonna flow
it just seems that upstream I keep rowing
still got such a long way to go (x2)

then that light
it's your eye
I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Bullets fly
split the sky
but that's all right, sometimes sunlight I'm streaming through the holes

[dadedade]

Bullets fly! That's right!

And paved with, think that's right too :D

[foxeh]

Sure it's not "it just seems that upstream I keep rolling"?

[OneTwoThree]

Here's my take on the lyrics:

Lord I don't know which way I am going
which way river gonna flow
it just seems that upstream I keep rowing rolling?
still got such a long way to go (x2)

then that light
it's your eye
I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Bullets fly
split the sky
but that's all right, sometimes sunlight I'm streaming through the holes

Sounds like "sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes" to me. :)

I must say, this will surely become one of my favourite ever songs, it's just so lovely. It reminds me of the songs from Prospekt's March. :) And they are most wonderful!

[dadedade]

I think that it's rowing, it just fits with rivers and flowing.. :)

But you guessed right at the "sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes" i suppose :)

[Kiame]

Sure it's not "it just seems that upstream I keep rolling"?

How can you roll upstream?

:facepalm:

:laugh3:

It's rowing.

[Teco]

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river is gonna flow
It just seems that upstream I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go

Then that light
It's your eye
I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Bullets fly
Split the sky
But that's all right, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes

[Hartroc]

How can you roll upstream?

:facepalm:

:laugh3:

It's rowing.

It's an expression. It's also used in Us Against the World.

Example: The Kooks - Watching The Ships Roll In - YouTube

And it's most definitely rolling. Listen very carefully.

[jc90]

I keep hearing

"then at last
It's your ass"

LOL

[Samuel_94]

I keep hearing

"then at last
It's your ass"

LOL

haha, love this song soooo much!!! :lol:

[icecoldplay]

I'm having trouble with "then that light, it's your eye". I think that's probably it, but I've seen a few different takes on it. "Then at last, it's your eye" (no) "then that light, hits your eye" (maybe?)

[panicked]

Hello, again! Here are the lyrics from my Japanese copy:

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river's going to flow
It just seems that upstream I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to row
Still got such a long way to row

Then that light hits your eyes
And I know I swear we'll find somewhere
The streets are paved with gold

Ohohoh

[Martin04]

Hello, again! Here are the lyrics from my Japanese copy:

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river's going to flow
It just seems that upstream I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to row
Still got such a long way to row

Then that light hits your eyes
And I know I swear we'll find somewhere
The streets are paved with gold

Ohohoh

Do the Japanese lyrics include that last bit... the bullets fly, split the sky part?

[Teco]

I think these Japanese lyrics were made by ear by some EMI Japan employee.

These are more wrong than my lousy understanding capability.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river is gonna flow
It just seems that upstream I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go

Then that light
Hits your eye
I know I swear we'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Bullets fly
Split the sky
But that's all right, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes

-------

That's my take on it, anyways :nod:

btw, I think that last verse (Bullets fly / Split the sky / But that's alright, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes) is absolutely brilliant :wacky: Am I the only one that thinks this?

[Micke95]

it's amazing

[valypan]

It´s a lovely song!

[Coldplay770]

I'm hearing "Been that life". Next part possibly could be "It's your ride/right".
