I heard he was a little too late.
God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung

Not a misheard lyric but one I'm trying to work out. Line in question is at the end of every chorus, firstly at 1:05. Google search turns up "Lit your fire and never cease" but I'm not convinced that's correct.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

When my wife first heard "mirror in the bathroom" she told me to turn it off. She thought it said "N-word in the bathroom"

I remember my Mam thinking "Someday you'll meet your rocking chair" in Bankrobber was "fucking chair", and asking why they had to swear.

It sounds to me like there's an "and" before "never cease."

Listened on headphones and I think it's

Could it be "flames of fire never cease?"

John, here's the isolated part of the vocal you need.

I still think it's "Blades of fire never cease".

Hope it's of some help.
