Look up the term "Kangaroo court".

go to urbandictionary.com and look up kangaroo court.. read the definition.

kangaroo makes sense..

(urbandictionary is a funny site.. but that is a good definition for this instance)

then lines in the song like..

"Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent"
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent"
Kangaroo, be stoned- he’s guilty as the government now"
"Liar, lawyer, mirror for ya what's the difference?"

... may make more sense.

As far as the alternate lyrics of Bottom, yes it's very cool. I've seen it at least once before, but I doubt more than once.
I agree it's probably far fetched but is anything in TooL world really that far fetched??

i saw them Sunday night, and i haven't gotten it out of my head since that he says "pleas" at the end of the song. i don't know what the word before it is, but i doubt it's ganja.

i checked, two people already mentioned this in the thread, but i wanted to throw my two cents in there...it makes sense in the law type context of the song too.

Your avatar is nasty.

I saw that you did not like the performance you saw. If you never got to see Tool in 98 you truly missed their best year. I have never seen a concert performance as good as I did on August 8, 1998. I drove from Indianapolis to Dallas to see Tool perform and was given the performance of a lifetime. If only I could restore Maynard's vocal power of yore.

in my opinion The Pot is the jem of this album. I wouldn't be surprised if the transcripts evenually released were missing or just completely wrong from what it sounds on the album. It's happened before.

the first indistinction I think comes at "Steal, barrow..."
my original sing-a-long went like
Steal or barrow every single shady inference
Cained the rude 'n hung the jurer with the innocent
Upon further review, I came up with;
Steal, barrow, evil, save your shady inference
Kangaroo dun hung the jury with the innocent
I couldn't believe "kangaroo" but it's unmistakable

I like the thought of "ganja please" but I'm afraid it's "gatcha paralized!" I know it sounds smushed, but it's in there prlized

I still think it's "Buncha' bul-LIES!" and the reason it sounds like "ganja" is because of the guitar interfering with his pronunciation.

But go ahead, dispute it some more....

The first one is clearly 'mirror show ME what's the diff..."
'Mirror, Voyer, ...' could only, possibly, be heard the second time. But I don't think so.

You typing the line does not an argument make.
I thnk there would be a miniscule gap between words if it were 'ass, so' infact that comma indicates such. It is possible to sing 'ass so' by reitterating(sp) the second 's' sound for so. But in the song the long 'o' sound rolls right off of 'ass' I don't think MJK would say/sing 'asso watcha talkin bout' That's why I think it's asshole.

To be honest, I don't even think the whole "weeping tears of indigo" line is correct, but I don't have anything better..... yet.

Actually, can anyone clue me in to 'tears of indigo' ??In the dic. the only thing that jumped out was the whole 'false indigo' line but that still was pertaining to botony.
May be some reference I just don't know.??

Re: 05 - The Pot lyrics

To be honest, I don't even think the whole "weeping tears of indigo" line is correct, but I don't have anything better..... yet.

Actually, can anyone clue me in to 'tears of indigo' ??In the dic. the only thing that jumped out was the whole 'false indigo' line but that still was pertaining to botony.
May be some reference I just don't know.??

What has this got to do with the song theme?
"who are you to wave your finger?"
"kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent"

blaming someone for no reason.

sounds like he says "infiniNt" (infinite) possibilities.

He probably does say "infinite"... I doubt he'd make that mistake. But if you really listen... well, just go listen to it and see what you think.

As for The Pot... pretty sure it's "Ganja?! Puhleeaze!!" You must have been out your mind!!!

(basically saying, your thoughts/actions are so out of line... that not even being high could justify them.)

Who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your valiant fingers at me





Its what I've heard until today when I saw other interpretations posted on TDN.

Your lyrics are close but not close enough!

The big mistake was in this part

Now your withered seeds are chosen
And the golden images set and you’re high.

Its actually:

Now your reaper shades have chosen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye


Then its;

Steal, borrow reaper, saviour, shady inference.

Steal, borrow, reap and save your shady inference.
Kangaroo done, hung the juror with the innocent.

When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must've been high, high. (x2)

Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters, fucking hypocrite.

Kangaroo done, hung the guilty with the innocent.

So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind.

Leaving things out in the ground,
Trapped without a reason.
Leaving things out in the ground…

Liar, lawyer, mirror, for you,
What’s the difference?
Kangaroo, beast, don’t needs guilt in every government.

Now your withered seeds are chosen
And the golden images up in you’re
High, high.

When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must've been high.
High. (x3)

Eyeballs deep in muddy waters.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters,
Catch up with lies.
You must have been out your mind.

Yeah, they should have just read mine (they'er on this page)
they're more better too also

If it's not,
"Steal, barrow, evil, save your shady inference."
Then it's,
"Steal or barrow every single shady inference."

The last part is
"Eyeballs deep in Muddy waters..
You're balls deep in muddy waters"

I thought that had already been established?

And also, I have a crisp mp3 of The Pot from Coachella.. VERY clearly states "You're balls deep..." but when the Ganja part comes up, it sounds like "Ganja Pa-ligh" ?? doesn't emphasize a "plEASE' "Puh-Lease" or anything like that.. just a .. Pa-Liiiiiigh!

Well, "PA-Liiiiiigh!" is sort of like prrliiiizd (paralized), which I tend to feel he is saying.
But I also think he MUST be saying "gotcha" before that, even though I know it sure can sound like he says "ganja".

- it seems like it's the only possibility but it makes no goddamn sense to me.

who knows... we won't know until he gives us the lyrics 10 years from now or someone unearths them in an archeological mingus mountain dig.

EDIT - just saw that someone posted the "official lyrics" for the Pot - according to someone at Tool Army - in "The Pot" forum. I am not in Tool Army so not sure if this is all true yet.....
