This is a song sung completely in English by a Japanese, so the lyrics can be difficult to decipher through the strong accent. I'm positive there was a translation of the song posted on animelyrics.com just a few weeks ago, but I can no longer find it. Anyway, it was riddled with errors. I tried to submit my own lyrics for the song but every time I successfully login to animelyrics.com it says I must be logged in. I've always had some difficulty hearing the lyrics correctly during the movie so one day I looked them up and found you guys, but was disappointed to discover that much of the lyrics were most obviously wrong. I made an account and spent quite some time listening to the song while typing what I heard. Here's the song as I hear it. If anyone could confirm the bracketed parts in question and explain how I can get this posted I would be most grateful.
"Look-A-Like" by Ryu Sonaka from Sonic the Hedgehog OVA
On a Sunday riding my bike
I notice (I notice) different things that look alike
On a Sunday riding my bike
I notice (I notice) many, many things that look alike
Ice and water, steak and cow
Autumn this year and last year
[Stop and time?], rain and cloud
ABCD
Tuesday, Wednesday, so is Friday
How 'bout moons and headlights?
What I say and what I think
ABCDEF
A short while ago (a short while ago)
I was born (I was born)
And I've memorized (And I've memorized)
Quite a lot of names
------------------------------------------------------- *
On this planet drinking my coffee
I notice (I notice) different things that are alike
On this planet drinking my coffee
I notice (I notice) many, many things are alike
Ice and water, steak and cow
Autumn this year and last year
[Stop and time?], rain and cloud
ABCD
Tuesday, Wednesday, so is Friday
How 'bout moons and headlights?
What I say and what I think
ABCDEF
A short while ago (a short while ago)
I was born (I was born)
In a busy life (In a busy life)
Making puns of names
-------------------------------------------------------
On a Sunday riding my bike
I notice (I notice) different things that look alike
On a Sunday riding my bike
I notice (I notice) many, many look alikes
On this planet drinking my coffee
I notice (I notice) different things that are alike
On this planet drinking my coffee
I notice (I notice) many, many things that are alike
Every thing is born from this planet
A number, a TV
Even [thoughts that itch your head?]
Every things that's out of this planet
A [boyfriend or pencil?]
Even your new videos
And everything...
On this planet riding my bike
I notice (I notice) different things that are alike
On this planet riding my bike
I notice (I notice) many, many look-a-likes
On this planet riding my bike
I notice (I notice) different things that are alike
On this planet riding my bike
I notice (I notice) neat and universal look-a-likes
* Include section within dotted lines for full version
Also, I'm having trouble finding the exact order of lyrics for the full song, the text not included within the dotted lines is the song exactly as it is played during the ending credits of the English/U.S. version of the VHS. The bit:
A short while ago (a short while ago)
I was born (I was born)
In a busy life (In a busy life)
Making puns of names
was inserted solely somewhere within the movie but online I have heard it with the accompanying dotted-line text.
Thanks!
