It might just be the 10000Days conditioning me, but i can't help hearing
Jesus won't you fucking whistle / something but the past and done (1st time)
Judith won't you fucking whistle / something but the past and done (2nd time)
It might make sense with
Mother Mary/Marie won't you whistle ...
Am I the only to hear that?

Wow i never noticed that. Well if you guys don't realize it yet, Judith was Maynard's mother obviously. I believe sober was when Maynard was mad about his mother's illness so he tried to forget about the pain she has and he hates the pain he gets from it.
So in part, this is his song where he's trying to escape from the anger and pain of knowing that his mother is going to pass away.

It's Jesus both times. The second time there's an 'S' in the middle which indicates the intention was Jesus. And the last part of the second Jesus is a little blurred. So it sounds like Jooseth.
I have looked at the song's 'sonogram' in Sound Studio and Peak. Both words look almost identical, in keeping with the tolerences of other repeated sounds like the base and drums.

now why would i do that, buddy? you know that maynard enjoys twisting his own lyrics.... seems perfectly normal to me.... considering all the lyric variations p sex went through, why does it seem unlikely for sober?

Nah! I'm not buying it, it's Jesus! Maynard would really like this thread if he reads this site.

As much as I like Tool's tie-ins and mysterious relationships between albums, I have to say that I hear Jesus. He could've changed the lyrics several times for live shows and stuff, but the studio one doesn't mention Judith.
You can hear or see anything if you want to believe it that hard. It's like the idiots who think that aenima syncs up with the nightmare before christmas. The post starter heard it becasue he was listening to 10,000 days a lot and the rest of you heard it because you were looking for it.
I am pretty sure it is: "Jesus, won't you fucking whistle something but the past and done?"
but he does slur that second jesus/judith/jeduth. His diction is appalling sometimes.

It's definitely Jesus both times, although like some of the others, I will admit the second "Jesus" is a bit slurred. There's still a definite "Jee" and an "s" sound there though.
About the Mother Mary/Marie idea: I don't think so. Mary is pronounced "Mair-ee" as opposed to Marie which is pronounced "Muh-ree." Maynard is definitely singing "Mair-ee" in Sober. The Marie pronunciation is confirmed by the Wings for Marie when Maynard clearly says "Judith Muh-ree, unconditional one. . ."
I hear the slight slurr in the second jesus like everyone is saying, but i dont hear judith at all... Maybe after a while of listening to it you'll hear judith or judas or whatever but i tried it out at the studio and i couldnt hear it.

That is awesome. I love to see people thinking through consciousness rather than through the limitations of mind (ego). This song is most definitely about the ego (self will) wanting desperately to deny pain (growth) at each difficult opportunity.
I've always heard it as "Jujubes won't you fucking whistle?" because pretty much everyone loves candy and we'd love it more if it was able to do stuff, like whistle. This may sound kind of tongue-in-cheek but I really think that we overlook the blatantly simple things in life.
