Thanks, mountainbird!! I think you got them all on the first pass. When I listen now, I can hear all the words you provided (with the exception of "move on" - no matter how many times I listen, I still hear "moolong", which makes no sense at all. So it's got to be "move on", which makes perfect sense). That verse is my favorite part of the song, and now I can sing it (using the word "sing" very loosely), and not have to feel ridiculous singing "moolong". Many thanks for taking the time to listen and reply.

Also while listening again, I noticed another mistake of mine. I've decided that he sings "that don't explain BUT half", rather than "THE half". A minor difference, but I guess it's more grammatically correct. Or is it? I've never been very good with grammar, so I'm not sure, but either way, I'm pretty sure now that he says "but" and not "the".

I can just picture him sitting in that basement singing this. Such a hopeless romantic even then.
