I wonder if anyone is familiar with the above album and the track "I won't grow up" in particular?
I have had this album on CD since it's release in the early nineties and on the above mentioned track at about 2:21 the marvelous Ms Jones whispers something and listening this afternoon I realised that I have never been able to make out her words.
Not sure if its the limitations of my hearing or the inability of quite a number of different system combinations over the years to reveal this minute detail? Source has for the main been a Naim CD player, CDI and now CD5 XS.
Has anyone either had the hearing or the hifi to decifer this information or is it not intended to be understood? Are there any other musical tracks others have experienced that present similar mysteries lyrically or instrumentally?

Yes this is a fantastic record! Until now it just gets better and better with my system upgrades.
Of course I had to try listening at first and came up with so bear, close but not really, since this lyrics page says so there.

Had it since release too..... I'm intreagued now.
Saw her live at a small venue last year and she was superb. 'Last Chance Texaco' a particular stand out. G

I have official copies of 3 shows she did at Le Poisson in New York from 4 years back. Where she decided to alter the structure of songs by using instruments that she had never used before as well as changing tempos. It is interesting to hear the band play the first gig and then how they develop to a finished article in the last gig. Excellent shows.
Rickie also shouts encouragement at band members during the gigs like keep playing that or keep going whilst they are soloing.

I was listening to Joni's Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm, it is so layered with her voice and backup singers it's hallucinatory. Billy Idol is in one and B side starts withWilly Nelson slyly coming in for a bit of support. I've really been enjoying it late at night.
