Like in Loser, what does he say before he says I'm a loser baby, so
why don't you kill me.

this is what I hear

Soooooo open the door, i'm a loser baby so why don' you kill me.

And on Odalay it gets even worse

I don't have my CD with me right now but on the 5th song in the chorus
all I can understand is the words "wind" derelict" .

and on another song he speeks spanish but thats all fucked up too .
the only thing I understand him talking about is something about
chewing gum.
someone please post the lyrics.

In loser he's sayin' "Soy un perdedor"
In Derelict he's saying "Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the
foul of the air"

I got the lyrics to these two albums on my page (and lot's o other
stuff) if you wanna check it out. Or you can go to SLow Jams and get the
lyrics to practically every song he's song in his life.

Hey, Nick! Unfortunately, Slo-Jam Central is crapped out in the ditch and
without a home right now. Hopefully it'll be up and running by next week,
if the good Lord's willin and the creek don't rise. Stay tuned, Special
People..

Soy un perdedor (sp?) is Spanish for I'M a loser, or the direct translation
"I'm one loser"

This sight has the Odelay learics
"http://www.rain.org/~truck/beck/indexa.htm". They are pretty
accurate, although I do disagree with some. The others are broken,
but he does claim to have them, and judging by the quality of the
sight I would beleive him.

I've gotta ask a question myself: In Where It's At, what does he say
when he answers the phone towards the end? It sounds to me like :I've
got a plastic bong, hello?" Though this is probably wrong.

Hey, This is pretty cool! I'm huge beck fan. but here in GA it's kinda
hard to snag some of his old stuff,
So far i've gotten ahold of: one foot in the grave, stereo-pathetic
soul-manure, mellow gold, and odelay.
Of course some singles, and compilations.

But i'm really anxious to snag his first two original vinal releases.
are these available on boot somewhere? If anymone knows please let me
know.
