>1 law for the officers
>1 for the gentlemen
>2 bad you 3 know what it's 4

"2 Badge of Freedom what it's for?"

I am almost certain about this one, given the military allusions in the
previous two lines...

>5 for this awful dive

"5 for the sulfur dye"

That's what it sounds like to these Yank ears-probably
because of the "s" in "this" slurring into the next word
(which is the biggest bugaboo when trying to figure out lyrics)

>6 for the genetics

"6 for the jelly hicks"

>shrug<...

>1 for the conquered blues (?)

"1 for the carpet blues"

The first version is probably correct.


Deciphering Steve's lyrics is fun!


>shifting gears< Is this one of the most haunting
cuts ever penned by the Church or what? If MATS
consisted of consistently excellent stuff like this I
would have had no complaints whatsoever. We
shall see about AENT...
