He says "cranberry sauce" but it sounds a lot like he's saying "I buried
Paul."

Hope I've cleared up any confusion,
Sam

P.S. Does anyone else think it's ironic that "Trey" (ro...@in.net)
wants to know the lyrics to YEM?

Why would you ask the lyrics to your own songs, "Trey"?

Apparently, "Trey" is at a loss for things to do. Since the band's
not touring for awile, he obviously has way too much time on his
hands. Rather than spend this time making us laugh with clever, witty
contributions, he prefers to be boring and trite, inventing a new
username everytime he posts, and resurrecting tired old gags like
WATSIYEM. I used to think Phish was cool, but now I'm convinced that
"Trey" is a complete loser who is just begging for any attention he
can get. Unfortunately, we're only complicating his problems by
responding. Yawn.....

Dave

PS - the words are "And I see You", and this is actually the original
title of the song.....

Faulty teleprompter?

Wrong...Phish can make it be whatever the fuck they want it to be...that
is the beauty. Maybe it meant to say something ages ago, but I think that
Phish gets off on people guessing what it means. So little of their music
has real meaning to me, not like the Dead, but instead is just wonderfully
poetic babbling...I love it!!!!

You my friend are not wrong (at least in part)
I am in fact taking a course on Italian and we have in fact learned that
Firenze is in fact
a city in Europe, Florence, Italy.
As for the other words (obviously some in English) I haven't taken the
initiative to look
up the rest of the words, just lazy I guess
oh well

Have a good Day

Here is the REAL truth behind the YEM lyrics....

The correct version, "Wash a Uffize and drive me to Firenze," refers to a
trip to Europe Trey and Fishman took in the mid 1980s (the famous Uffizi
art gallery in Firenze, or FLorence). But in concert the bandmembers dont
necessarily recite the "real" line; Page has said that they have no idead
what they are saying most of the time.....

and there you have it...
