I'm having a little trouble with the official lyrics for this song. A very minor issue of course but I distinctly hear him singing "I'm tasting her smell.... up toast as the butter runs" and not "I'm tasting the smell.... of toast as the butter runs". A fellow youtuber suggested that my interpretation did not make sense but given the provocative nature of many of the lyrics on that album, I'd say my version makes at least as much sense as the other. Can anybody here tell me for sure which it is?

I'm hearing "of toast as the butter runs" & that's how iv always seen the lyrics written as well.

Thanks for replying. How about that other line?
I agree the "of toast" part is a little harder to pinpoint but the other part sounds clearly like the word "her" to me. Turned it up loud last night on the original version and it seems undeniable that is what he sings. Maybe he was just messing around during the recording and it stuck.....
About lyrics in general, I check out alot of songs online and often see errors on many of those sites.
Anyway, I'll be doing it this fall on my YouTube channel (alertami) if anyone is interested to come over for a listen.

Interesting.
I just played the new stereo mix (several times) on hearphones and @ 1:06 I hear 'the' pretty clearly.
Others may have a different opinion but ............ no its definately a 'Th' sound.

Thanks onewhiteduck. Interesting, and a little strange to me too. Went back for a few more tries and now I seem to catch it both ways depending on the volume. The new mix is probably a little clearer too so I'm getting close to giving up on it.

Hi Luke I think we've all done that with the lyrics. There's a thread somewhere with some of the ones that's tripped us up. I like the advert for Toyota Auris and Horse With No Name - the very lyrics I messed up as well.

Hi nonrabbit,
Good ad and a great song by America. I used to play it and will now have to check the lyrics of course.
