The lyrics to all Yes songs

I’ll 'll be the roundabout  
The words will make you out ‘n’ out  
I’ll spend the day your way…  
Call it morning driving thru the sound and  
In and out the valley…

Technically that’s [ERNIE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium_Bond)–it’s an acronym. Not many Americans knew what Ian was on about in that line.

I came in to post:

It’s just a broken lullaby.  
And I still don’t know the meaning of the thread. It appears to be for proper song lyrics that are poorly written, not for Mondegreens. Am I right?

Enjoying the thread but to clarify:

It is just for song lyrics you don’t understand, but you’re afraid to mention it because someone will tell you DUH it obviously refers to…

“Love can be seen as the answer  
But nobody bleeds for the dancer”  
-Black Sabbath

Er, who is this dancer and why does she need people to bleed for her?

Wouldn’t blood all over the dance studio floor be a slipping hazard for the dancer?

What is the upside of this bleeding business for either you or the dancer and what does it have to do with love?

Are we human or are we dancer?  
My sign is vital, my hands are cold

Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year  
It’s not confidential, I’ve got potential rushing, rushing around

That’s incorrect. The line is “Dressed up like a douche and a homo in the night!”
