You’re a movie lyric
Hi! Hope everyone is well. I’ve been wondering about this lyric for a while. Exactly what type of movie is he? The lyric section here says “ the one o’kind”, another lyric site says “final kind” ( I certainly don’t hear this!), Linda Henrick ,god bless her, say “the * kind” and I’ve always heard “porno kind”. In fact I’ve just listened to it and I still hear “Porno” am I wrong and do I need an ear doctor?

Re: You’re a movie lyric
Strangely enough, last night I was trying to recall which AC albums had printed lyrics included and didn't remember any lyrics included in SF's packaging. I could have just looked through my collection...anyhoot, just thought it a cool coincidence we were both thinking of SF's lyrics.
"He's old, the snake's got gray hair..."

As for what kind of movie, it's clearly a war hero movie. I've always assumed it was based on Patton.

Answered by Padre already. Always wondered, in the pre-internet time, where all these lyrics were found if they didn't come with the lp.. Sometimes we had lyrics written (or invented ) by Linda Henrick, and sometimes even for non-english speaking fans it was obvious the lyrics were not correct.

Re: You’re a movie lyric
Yes I referred to these in my initial post but are these actually the “official” lyrics or are they one of Si’s minion’s transcriptions?SickThings wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 5:17 pmThe actual lyrics are here:

I guess sometimes you had official sheet music and song books although even those weren’t always reliable.
Re: You’re a movie lyric
Al the lyrics on this site are transcribed by me, directly from the record, and where they weren't clear I checked with any record sleeves available and got other opinions to try and make them as accurate as possible to what Alice actually sings. I say actually sings, as often the lyrics on a sleeve aren't 100% the same as what he sings on the actual recorded version.Babysquid wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 7:50 amYes I referred to these in my initial post but are these actually the “official” lyrics or are they one of Si’s minion’s transcriptions?SickThings wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 5:17 pmThe actual lyrics are here:

I think they are generally pretty accurate, but as with anything there are likely errors here and there where things aren't clear.
In reference to the specific lyric being asked about, I *think* Renfield may have posted about this, or maybe he emailed/I asked and that is what he said. It's a very vague memory, but I think this one has come up before.
Re: You’re a movie lyric
The lyrics page on this site is great. I couldn't believe how many songs I had been singing wrong for years! On 'You're a Movie' verse 2 starts "The bullets repel off my metals" - shouldn't that be medals, rather than metals?
Time is getting closer
Re: You’re a movie lyric
The lyric is "one o' kind". "One of a kind" did not roll off the tongue to fit the meter. This was told to me by Erik. I think Duane may have mentioned this once in a FB posting.

Thanks for that Mr Barlow! 14 year old me now feels less embarrassed to play it in front of my mum!
