So Far Away - yelling...

Yeah, what's up with that?
 
I've noticed that in the sort of...break...in So Far Away...when John sings "Am I wrong...I don't know..." etc etc that there seems to be someone yelling in the background. Does anyone know who it is, and WHAT they're yelling? After "I don't know" it sounds like they're saying "What have I done wrong" or something...
 
Please tell me I'm not imagining this whole thing. You guys hear this too, right?!  
 
This was my favourite Goo song for AGES. It changes periodically. After 'So Far Away' it was 'Big Machine'. It might be 'Here is Gone' now. Then again I've developed a whole new appreciation for 'Lucky Star' after seeing the Storytellers performance where Robby talks about writing it...made me feel bad for him...the song is great though...

I've always thought the person yelling was Robby but now I'm not too sure and I can never make out what the person is yelling, it's "so far away" lmao...and since we're on the topic of difficult to hear goo lyrics, does anyone know what the very last line John sings in On The Lie?? I hear this: "On the lie, she was, on the lie, on the lie, he was, on the lie (he's always ____ and lyingHuh)" I can't make out what I've put in brackets.  
 
oooh and I just remembered lol, wtf does Johnny mean when he says..."and I didn't get those things, things that you can't grow" ...What things? I was thinking maybe he meant develop a love for someone, like he couldn't make the person 'grow' to love him or whatever *shrugs*

Now that I've re-listened to it, I think it might be, "He's always drinkin' and lyin'", but I've seen it as, "It's all a stinkin' lie" on some sites.  But that's just a guess.  Who knows.

I've heard people ask those questions so many times... one of us should actually ask them LoL!
 
In "So Far Away," it's Robby screaming... he's saying something about "rock 'n' roll..." a lot people hear that :: shrug ::
 
"On the Lie," I can definitely say that John says, "It's all a stinkin' lie!"
 
Anybody else? lol

Yea, its Robby screaming in So Far Away, and its something 'rock and roll' or else its 'tell me something I don't know' coz that was the original name of the song.
 
As for On The Lie, I never wondered about it, I was always pretty sure the line was "its all a big stinkin lieeee"
 
And the things you can't grow? Babies? Drugs? Who knows?  His lyrics are soooo cryptic!

Our Goo,
who art in Buffalo,hallowed be thy 'name,'
Thy concerts gone to,thy cds bought,in Europe as they are in America,
Give us this day our daily goo and forgive us for liking other bands,
just as we forgive those who do not appriciate good goo, lead us not into temptation,with your hair and toxic songs,
Ah, men!!!
