Leash

Does anyone know or have taken the time to find out what the current Leash lyrics are since they started playing it again. A lot of times "lucky" is used in place of "fuckin" - "get out of my lucky face". But the one I can't make out is the main tag that was once "we are young". When I listen to my '07 Cinci and Camden boots is sounds like the band is off cadence or have added a word, which to me would most presumably be "not" - "we are not young" but it doesn't sound that way, and these guys are much too professional to be singing off cadence.

    At MSG, it was definitely "lucky" face ... which, if I'm not mistaken, are the actual lyrics as printed in the Vs. booklet. I always assumed it was kind of a joke, because we know Ed is singing "fuckin' " ... Now, it seems he's taken the joke and run with it.

    All the live versions I heard on the '06 tour (all three of 'em) and the one in MSG this year, it was still "we are young." Compared to some people (the Republican nominee for president, for instance) that is still true.

    Alright, I just took a listen to my 06 Gorge and it's the same way. Do me a favor and take a listen to the "we are young part", it's slurred like someone in the band is not singing the right words while the rest are or something. I don't have 06 MSG but I know you've got all the shows that I listed...hell, I probably got half my boots from you;)

    Please put your ear into it for me dood - it's been driving me crazy for like a year, and everytime I go to the gym or cut the grass it pops up on my ipod and rewind a few times but never figure it out.

    Thanks, but SOJeff came up with a pretty good theory for the lucky vs fuckin - I'm more interested in the "we are young" part, it doesn't sound right, like someone in the band is saying something different from the rest, which is making it sound off a bit. I can't possibly be the only one that hears this.

    We are one...instead of we are young.

    Delight in our truth ---instead of delight in our youth... also pops up once in awhile too.

    Started that back when they revived it a few years ago.
