redeyednblue Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore. It's become so obvious that you are so oblivious to yourself. One summer, a suicide. Another autumn, a traveler's guide. He hits snooze twice before he dies. If it's just your heart talking, I'll listen every time --Dear, you can talk my ear off, anytime, anytime --But if my mind starts wandering, it won't be gone long --Whenever I hear your heart talking, it's a song, it's a song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cash Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Can anyone else give me some insight on the dilemma between "no way" "the way" and "a way" during radio cures "Oh distance has...of making love understandable." It's been eating me up all day. I swear the last time he says it on the kicking television version its "a way" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the album version of radio cure its obviously no way but in many live versions its pretty clear its A way or THE way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Tweedy is always constantly changing the lyrics, so really, looking towards any one instance makes it a moot point, because very well next time it could come out different. So...original intent or evolving standards? Oh, how remniscient of judicial review... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
