Feel the lovely vocoder

May 17, 2009 1:03 PM

What are the lyrics to the vocoder chorus in Cut Copy's Feel the love?

The various lyrics bot websites all omit the vocoder part. songmeanings.net comments have a couple theories, but they don't seem quite right.

The best I can come up with is:

When Romeo and I help you find what you're searching for
Put your hands across free your mind to your arms of love

(The part in question starts around 1:30 if anyone else wants to jump to it)

A commenter on the YouTube clip guessed:
"Hey you, Why you roaming around? Let me find out what you're searching for. Hey you, Put your lips up close, Feel the love, Into your arms I fall"

I think I hear something that splits the difference between their guess and yours:

"Hey you, why you roaming around? Help you find out what you're searching for. Hey you, put your lips up close, free your mind, into your arms I fall."

I hear:

When a Romeo and all have decided what you're searching for
Put your head to the ground, keep your hands above your arms and ????
??? ??????

Hey you, when you're roaming around, there'll be someone that you're searching for. Hey you, put your hands (head?) to the ground, feel the noise, throw your arms around.

At least, that's what I always sing. I have wondered why people look at me strangely at Cut Copy gigs though..
