fleabag Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 This is a track that i have most of the lyrics for, and since they're not available on the net, i contacted Terry Wilson Slesser, the vocalist, but the message has disappeared. I must have deleted it by mistake. I have recalled 99.99% of them but there's just one ( or is it two squished together ? ) word/words at 1:19 at the start of the 2nd verse. Its the word or words just before the lyric " Mum and Dad " Can anyone figure it out ? I've been though a fair few guesses but none seems right.

BreadBin Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Is it stating? Or more accurately statin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 I cant tell TBH, but that doesnt exactly make sense. I thought it began with an ST like you, but the second syllable seems to have the letter L in there. I'm none the wiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost hear a vowel sound at the beginning, like there's three syllables but the first is very quiet. Estatlin' is the nearest approximation I can get.....not that that really helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 It's difficult to tell, but my best interpretation is that is some contraction of "I expect her" (e.g "Spect'er")... " I expect her mum and daddy know a decent boy like me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 We have a definitive answer, ladies and gentlemen: "Respecting" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Cheers WOT Sounds good, and the R seems to be almost silent But i distinctly hear the letter L in the 2nd syllable Unless my ears are playing tricks. So, we have ........' Respectin ' not added yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Hah I'm talking out of my bottom. When you know the word is " Respectin" , you dont hear that letter L anymore in the 2nd syllable. Magic What a great track. That bass line. Still have the album, bought late 70's, and up there with my other top discettes Edited April 11, 2022 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
