What time is it?
Would you tell me, wolf?
Are you coming around here
With your teeth so sharp
I never gave you the best part of me
I just let you in charge for a little while
Must of been
Must of been some great fury
That took you so far
Took you so far away
Think that you might be wrong
Think that you might
Think that you might be wrong
Think that you might be wrong
Think that you might
Think that you might be wrong
And look at you now
With your confidence
Riding around on a lion's back
Mistaken a shadow for a stranger's love
Well, you're larger than life when the lighting is right
Must of been
Must of been some great fury
That took you so far
Took you so far away
Hey, hey
Oh, think that you might be wrong
Think that you might
Think that you might be wrong
Think that you might be wrong
Think that you might

This would be a good "last dance" song.
What do they use instead of Stairway to Heaven these days?

Must stop and pay attention whenever this is played. Couldn’t love this sound more.

“I have eaten a sandwich.”
Curiously enough, I have never seen anyone ever writing “I of eaten a sandwich.”
Yet.
But we do see "I've eaten a sandwich." "Of" is pronounced "Ov"... so we are close.
Random thought... was "Of" pronounce with an "f" at one time and all them slack-ass teenagers of 1650 were terrible and started using a more easily pronounced "v"?

Yeah, they're from Ontario, but four out of five Great Lakes prefer Michigan.
I'm getting "So Long Marianne" vibes myself.
I'm getting a Bruce Cockburn vibe from this . . . .

Consider it poetic license. I doesn't take away from the song.

Ever been to Wainfleet? No wonder these guys sound so gawd damned bored...
I love this… very pretty and it reminds me a little bit of Don Henleys voice.
What I've heard by them here makes me think that they are a really deep, interesting, talented group. Thanks, RP for the enlightenment!
Kind of has a Bruce Cockburn sound to them . . . very nice!
Such a beautiful little song, wonderfully sung.
Boy I really like this song, and have ever since I first heard it on rp years ago. I must admit, I never thought about the grammar involved.
Not wild on the exploding reverb spring.
Love love love this
Fantastic. I love it. Thank you RP.

Right up there with substituting "don't" for doesn't and "aint" for isn't. Grrrrrrr.

Too much of it about these days. Take Mr Gallagher, for example:
"Take that look from off your face".
Really?

A few fixes on the lyrics:
I just left you in charge
Must have been (x4)
Mistaking your shadow

Your are completely correct. Only English people who have no understanding of grammar substitute of for have! It isn't even the right part of speech.

"Must of been" ... ?
I have read this on the net sometimes. Do native English speakers really use that instead of "have"?
Seems bizarre to me.

I believe the RP site has the lyrics for the songs somehow pulled from lyric sites like AZLyrics and SongMeanings.com. Those sites likely use some sorts of speech-to-text or voice recognition applications, which often make inaccurate phonetic translations. I imagine that's the source of that incorrect lyric in this case and many other instances. The lyrics are not linked from the artists' sites.

My guess would be that it comes from a contracted must've.

Almost did it for me, until the electric guitar kicked in for no purpose. A bit challenging though after Talk Talk's Eden 1988 wonder.

I agree with your assessment of this song. The chord progression seems like a pretty common one for the 1950s and '60s, especially when played with an arpeggio. It's not a style which was "invented" by Leonard Cohen.
Doo wop? Something like Earth Angel...could be better examples

I immediately heard "What's New Pussycat" but I admit I am usually way off . . .

Agree - really nice song. Kinda old-school 60s and a little different from the previous Great Lake Swimmers album.
me 3! i didn't appreciate it the first few times; was turned off by the beginning sounding too much like a prince sobg. but i appreciate it more n more each time i hear it. it is unique. i love the strings w elec guitar. and the harmony.

I am not sure what you are going for but there is a Skeeter Davis tune ("End of the World") that has a similar rhythmn.
Sooo relaxing, fine strings, can't go wrong with this :), thank you DJ.
That was wonderful! And from a sweet part of the world—we drove through that country on our honeymoon 18 years ago on our way to Niagra Falls. One quaint little Canadian town after another.. with very friendly folks.

There is no worse feeling than to be proven wrong. Best not to think you are right in the first place. When I point this out to others, they call me arrogant. What a vicious cycle of confusion.
Hmmm, I like them but am not sure about this one. Will hold off rating until a few more listens.
