I'm not sure about four bold parts. (Of course I might be wrong somewhere else, too.)

Can anyone with better English hearing confirm / correct? Thanks.

Blue On Blue
========

What's happening to me?
Is it happening to you?
Look over down
The sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

You want to be free
What do you do?
Get yourself where
The sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

I'd heard so much
I didn't understand
I needed sun and sea
And you beside me
On the sand

A tropical night
What do you do?
Look at the stars
They're so bright ("And the ?" ???)
Me and you

Out on the sea
We're both sailing through
Take us away
Just you and me
Blue on blue

Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue

Yes, I think it was.

What's happening to me?
Is it happening to you?
Look over there
Sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

You want to be free
What do you do?
Get yourself where
Sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

I'd heard so much
I didn't understand
I needed sun and sea
And you beside me
On the sand

A tropical night
What do you do?
Look at the stars
Ever so bright
Me and you

Out on the sea
We're both sailing through
Take us away
Just you and me
Blue on blue

Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue
Blue on blue

I've just listened to it for the first time! I bought and downloaded it from 7digital.com.
It's certainly not the best b-side they have made. I think it's got a too monotonous (is that correct?) bass line and a predictable verse melody, although with somewhat strange harmonies. I had to hear it - what all the fuzz is about - and now I have!

Ad lyrics: Now I see on the official site that it should be

"...I hurt so much
I didn't understand
I needed sun and sea..."

But surely that makes less sense than with "I've heard" (or "I'd heard")?

Can anyone check? It's about 1.28 in the song. Thanks...
