  General Comment:Seems to me that he's saying Denny. Song sounds to be about a friend rather than a lover

  General Comment:Here's my stab at what he's sayin' in this one:
  
  Dilly I, I never wanted you
  Sleeping out on the ground tonight
  Day now, now that I'm coming home
  Dilly, you got someone to answer to
  
  Fallin' out in our way
  Clothes are on
  Fallin' out and around
  Companions now
  
  Dilly I made up
  My mind long ago
  Shoulda known
  Shoulda known
  I shoulda known
  
  Dilly I, I never wanted to
  I'll tell, won't lie to you
  Dilly I, I ain't ashamed of you
  It's a pity I broke my fist in two
  
  Strung out no where
  Clothes are off
  Fuckin' around no where
  Close my eyes
  
  Dilly I made up
  My mind long ago
  Shoulda known
  Shoulda known
  I shoulda known
  
  Biding time is a boat to row
  That's you and I
  Shoulda known
  Shoulda known
  I shoulda known
  
  Dilly I made up
  My mind long ago
  Shoulda known
  Shoulda known
  I shoulda known
  
  Biding time is a boat to row
  That's you and I
  Shoulda known
  Shoulda known
  I shoulda known
  
  Dilly you, you've been called lazy boy
  Starin' out at bedroom walls
  Anytime you feel like comin' out
  I ain't too proud, ain't to proud
  
  To say hello

  General Comment:i have another version (1 minute longer) where it seems he may be saying "dear" (even if sometimes it needs a bit of fantasy to make "dear" fit...)

  General Comment:you would think it's maybe, but most of the time you can hear that whatever he's saying starts with a "d".

  General Comment:this song was released on their tour ep.
  it was also played live on no love for ned a while back.
  
  stream it here:

  it seems impossible to figure out what he's saying.
  but all the question marks seem to be the same word repeated.
  and it sounds like some sort of name; vinny or denny or something.
  
  who knows.
  maybe i'm wrong.
