Anyone else out there crack up when a purportedly 'serious' lyric contains an unconcious double entenre that inadvertently tickles the funny bone?
Jon Anderson was great at these - displaying a desire for good food presentation and a subconcious offal fetish, despite his vegetarianism, on Close the the Edge when he advises the listener to "Rearrange your liver...."
By Tales from Topograpic Oceans he is "Searching for the sauce..." (OK, Jon, we'll ketchup with you later!) but by Tormato (one of the few Yes albums to 'give me the pip') he appears to be displaying a penchant for messy eating on Madrigal as he's "Covered in greens..."
The offal references make a comeback on 90125 when he assures us that "Two hearts are better than one..." (this is making me hungry!)
Further along in the digestive system, one of the most unfortunate UDE's occurs on Sound Chaser from Relayer - it takes a brave vocalist to tackle the phrase "Our souls" , the Moodies pulled it off in Question ("...the secrets of our souls") but unfortunately Jon's northern accent turns the 'Our' into 'Arr' on the line "What touches our souls..." and the result is, well... embarrassing.
I love you really, Jon....
