The published lyrics to CLT are 'I kinda like it' and that is what I have always heard them as but listening to the isolated vocals he actually sings 'You gotta like it'. I might be wrong but I rarely am.

Moogydoo...
Seaside Rendezvous swaps verses around.
A bugbear of mine is every published lyric to Brighton Rock says 'A little people magic..' This doesn't make sense. It was obviously 'A little peephole magic...'
@Dysan, for BR, it took me a while to understand that one as a young lad but I think that "people magic" is correct. Jimmy is hoping for a little "people magic" to develop between them (with the assistance of a romantic moon) so that he can get his wicked way with Jenny. Just my take on it.....
dysan, re:
>It was obviously 'A little peephole magic...'
......and re-tells the story of how Brian came to contract hepatitis from a money shot to the eye by a big black dude called "Jenny" who was on the other side of the wall.
@dysan...yes of course, I'm English and I was born in the 60's and I have lived and worked in Brighton. I was merely presenting my own viewpoint in respect of the published lyrics (and those I have been listening to since 1974), not attempting to discount your own theory.
I remember Bowie's old sound man in the glam days being given the Ziggy album lyrics to proof read. He said he corrected a few here and there to what HE was hearing. I can imagine the same happens all over the rock world.
Alan hansen voice: sloppy defending
I remember a guy at college said 'oh I love Queen! I love the song FBG...'I got stiffness in my balls!' genius!!!'
It undermined my understanding of the song... which was a sophisticated look at sex and putting on a farm.

This caused a serious fall out between Brian May and Stephen Hawking. Hawking believed it was the principles of celestial mechanics that made the rockin' world go round; May thought it was ladies with lots of junk in their trunks. Sadly, it remained a bone of contention between them until Hawking's death.
