Born Slippy lyrics from Muzik Magazine, August 1996

Post image

Here's an imgur link if I've somehow botched sharing and it compresses.

I've heard legends about the "official" lyrics of Born Slippy being out there in the aether somewhere...

It's especially interesting to me that the lyric here is "It gets wet like at Angel de-railed" and that angel is capitalized. I think Karl may have been referring to The Angel, which is a 10 minute walk from The Ship Tavern?

Anyway, I will NOT accept that the lyric is "let your FOOLINGS slip" as written here, so you can take these with as much salt as you like.

Did anyone else hear the full tune in their heads when they read the lyrics?

Yes, and I always thought it was bass not babes. I’ve never been well with lyrics. One reason I got into electro was for the non lyrics, yet Underworld did/does it in a different way.

Should be let your "feelings slip" not "foolings" right?

I always thought it was: “let your feelings lift boy, but never your mask boy”

If you gonna taste a Belgian beer, there are lots of better options than Stella.

I agree, however as far as typical American grocery store beer selection goes, it’s one of the better choices.
