BEAUTIFUL NIGHT!!!

[youngboy81]

Hey, guys,
first of all I would like to say that Faul is a great singer and musician (i saw him live in Rome in 2002 in the nearest place just in front of him, having been there 12 hours before the beginning of the show).
Do you know that wonderful song called "Beautiful Night" fom the "Flaming Pie" album? at one point he says: "...i' m left stranded WONDERING WHY". Doesn' t it sound like "I play like a lefty for mysterious causes"?

Faul has put clues like that in many of his other songs,
so it wouldn't surprise me if that's in there.
Officially, of course, those words aren't in the song.
I haven't been able to locate my tape of that album to listen to it.

You can find almost anything on Youtube. Beautiful Night. One of my favorites of his as well, agreed.

I don't believe I hear what you do. "Misheard lyrics" may not be misheard at all many times, but "I play like a lefty for mysterious causes" just is so far removed from what is sung IMO.

You didn' t understand me, my friend. "I play like a lefty for mysterious causes" is MY INTERPRETATION of "I' m left stranded wondering why" that is on the "Beautiful Night" song!
