Has this been discussed here before? I *think* it goes, "There doesn't really seem to be another way" or something to that effect.
Any takers?

I always heard, before I realized that Paul had been murdered --
"Never could see any other way."
Now it seem to me that this means Lennon could see no way out of the situation besides going with the farce and doing what he could by inserting the clues.

Total Information--that's my impression as well. I'd like to slow it down and hear who it is. Must be Lennon I guess. The other voices I read somewhere were snatches and bits , but the main bit (never cood see any other way) is a stream of pitches. Maybe a song fragment that got cut?

This was one of the bits we studied intricately for GCSE music. Broken down phonetically, it goes "nava-cuh-see annie ober-weh". Due to restrictions at the time on music being studied backwards, we weren't allowed to reverse it.
If you're going for a literal translation, I would say that "never could see any other way" is closest.

from Rolling Stone interview with Faul:
"Then the this-little-bit-if-you-play-it-backwards stuff. As I say, nine times out of ten it's really nothing. Take the end of Sgt. Pepper, that backward thing, ``We'll f**k you like Supermen.'' Some fans came around to my door, giggling. I said, ``Hello, what do you want?'' They said: ``Is it true, that bit at the end? Is it true? It says, `We'll f**k you like Supermen.' '' I said: ``No, you're kidding. I haven't heard it, but I'll play it.'' It was just some piece of conversation that was recorded and turned backwards. But I went inside after I'd seen them and played it studiously, turned it backwards with my thumb against the motor, turned the motor off and did it backwards. And there it was, sure as anything, plain as anything: ``We'll f**k you like Supermen.'' I thought ``Jesus, what can you do?''
And then there was ``I buried Paul.'' That wasn't ``I buried Paul'' at all; that was John saying ``cranberry sauce.'' It was the end of ``Strawberry Fields.'' That's John's humor. John would say something totally out of sync, like ``cranberry sauce.'' If you don't realize that John's apt to say ``cranberry sauce'' when he feels like it, then you start to hear a funny little word there, and you think, "Aha!''
