Mmmmm Yes - Then I'm taking the kiss of seed cake back from his mouth
Going deep south go down
Mmmmm Yes - Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies

Mmmmm Yes - He said I a flower of the mountain yes
But now I've powers of a woman's body

Depending on how you count, that's as many as nine changes in six lines.
Almost as bad as _Ulysses_ :-)
Damn I want a lyrics sheet!

Also note that this reduces by one my count of instances of the word 'he'.

Don't you people buy CD's? The disc has the lyrics printed very clearly, with almost all of the words correct. Probably the cassette does too, and possibly even the record (if anyone still buys those). Or do you treat it as some kind of puzzle, "how long will it take us to figure out what she's saying?" Or don't you trust Kate's versions of her lyrics after all that "swallow" business? --The "Dan Efran" Sphere P.S. Similarly, in response to another message I saw on here, it IS "a picture of Hitler"--at least according to the printed lyrics.
