Lyrics for Oh Yeah as interpreted by Songmeaningsuser

Oh Yeah Lyrics
[Backwards vocals for 1st verse]

As your silver hair save that,
For you got to better not there.
I see your own cheeks, saves that,
It’s a time you’re my lasting sign.
They have got to sue the passing
As you do too everyday.
Still you point at them and then
Sometimes I’m the slave.

[Japanese lyrics for 3rd verse]

It's killing me to know what else he's saying. I'm taking this song in to my Japanese teacher to see if she can translate it for me. I'll come back later w/ the results if I'm successful. As for the backwards lyrics, I'll see if i still have that program that can make them go backwards and give you those results as well if I have them....

Sorry guys, I couldn't get my teacher to translate it and I couldn't get the program to work.

I'm a Japanese and a huge fan of CAN. The Japanese lyrics in this song is hard to distinguish/understand even for a Japanese because Damo's voice is indistinct and the grammar is unusual -- but I try.

Hitori de soko ni suwatteru
(The man who is sitting out there by himself)
Atama no ikareta yatsu
(Is crazy)
Niji no ue kara shoben
(Takes a piss from above a rainbow)
Warera ga himo to yobu
(We call him our pimp)
LSD no machi kara
(He left the town of LSD)
Hanere, gaki wo osore
(He was scared of bad kids)
Asa ga mada konai no wo
(There is still time before the morning)
Saiwai na koto ni
(Fortunately)

As you see, the meaning is ambiguous (as with English part). Maybe what matters for Damo was not what the words convey but how they resonate with the music (and a feel of strangeness and exoticness created by the use of Japanese), I guess. I hope this helps.
