Knebby Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Don't agree with a lot of those ^ He's saying "Just wanna piece of your Custard Pie" at the end, not "chewin' a piece" - yuk, gross. Also he says "play your mischief for me" not "just dream of me". Etc. Quote

huw Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 He's saying "Just wanna piece of your Custard Pie" at the end, not "chewin' a piece" - yuk, gross. Sounds like "chewing" to me. Always has done. Quote
slave to zep Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 I thought "sure love a piece" yes!! and this lyric is more fitting, dont you think? ah who knows. well robert does.............. Quote
dave2007 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Wow...I always sang along to "I'd do anything for your Custard Pie" Time to dig the old vinyl out.......I'm sure I'm right tho' ..... for now......maybe......... Quote

If someone submits incorrect lyrics and nobody can prove they're inaccurate, they stay posted. Wikipedia inaccurate, say it isn't so! Hey Ev, off topic for a moment. Is your gig this Saturday 21/06/08? If so, a significant date for me. My sister's and her daughter's birthday! The longest day in the northern hemisphere and shortest down south. The summer / winter solstice. All we need now is a full moon., aaaah hoooo! Quote

Isn't tonight the full moon? Yeah, gig is Saturday. Your sister and her daughter? Amazing when things happen like that! Happy Winter! It was 106 here yesterday, and projected to be even hotter tomorrow. Our first heat wave of the season. Quote
slave to zep Posted June 20, 2008 Author Posted June 20, 2008 so ev, what do you think the lyrics are? Quote
Evster2012 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 so ev, what do you think the lyrics are? Since the vinyl days, I always sang "Just wanna piece of your custard pie" And on the last two, I distinctly hear an "I" before it. I just back-to-backed it from my Studio Remaster to my Mothership, and still think that's what it says. Quote

It was 106 here yesterday, and projected to be even hotter tomorrow. Our first heat wave of the season. Couldn't tell mate it was pissin, down rain. As we are still in a drought (for seven years or so now), I'm not complaining. Hopefully you blokes will be spared from the usual bushfires. Anyway I hope every thing goes well on Saturday night. We expect a full report. Keep a weather eye out for those dern bootleggers! I can see it now Valhalla: Berserk Warriors. Quote
slave to zep Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 hey reggie, i wonder which lyrics grant sings? Quote
Bill Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Since the vinyl days, I always sang "Just wanna piece of your custard pie" And on the last two, I distinctly hear an "I" before it. I just back-to-backed it from my Studio Remaster to my Mothership, and still think that's what it says. "I'd sure love a piece of your custard pie" I guess I should have quoted the whole line. Quote
pentangleafternoon Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 in my experience the line at the end of the song was always "chewin a piece of your custard pie" Quote
