Inevitable
Lyrics
The Marshall Suite
Like everybody you see, like everybody you see
The word, this world, the farmer prams
Inevitable
I love to dance and it’s Saturday again, very logical
You can just then pretend to be many
Say goodbye to your denim sound
It’s so happy on Saturday
Bounce around on Saturday
Put your car in aquarium
In Burmese right on the call line (2)
The call line
You have a right to say it
From a row of the players and the brown cannabis
Inevitable
Inedible
Just pretend to be many
Pretend to be many
The radio jam said it
You have a right to say it
It’s beyond capable
In Burmese
Right on the calling
The calling
Happy times on a Saturday (3)
The airwaves
Not since the Spring
Inevitable
Inevitable
Bye bye bye baby
Today
The calling
1999-04-15 XFM Sound Republic Session
At the end of the day, you gotta say get a handle
It was inevitable
Inevitable
Spent time on a Saturday
There's a lot of spray
You've got to be mental to get a handle on the fucking scandal
You've got to be mental
It was inevitable
From the prams and the springs and the dawn get a handle
It was inevitable
Inevitable
Now he says on the 1st of May
You go round on a Saturday
From the spray of the clowns get a handle
From the radio and the weather reports please get a handle
Notes
1. I want to say something about these lyrics, but any interpretation seems to slip away as it approaches my mind, and what's left would wind up sounding silly. I encourage readers to weigh in, and something might fill in for me later.
2. Burma figures in the lyrics to "Scenario," which mentions Chindits, British soldiers serving in Burma (Myanmar) during WWII.
3. This is a "faint lyrical reminder of 'Neighborhood of Infinity'," as Reformation points out, in which MES proclaims "God bless Saturday."

Say goodbye to denim sound
Just pretend to be mad
Just pretend to be manic
Put your car in aquarium
The Burmese right on the core lamp
The core lamp
You have a right to say it
From a row of the players and the brown cannabis
Just pretend to be mad
Just pretend to be manic
The radio jam said it
You have a right to say it
It's beyond capable
etc.

What is the Burmese Calling? The Burmese (Rattan) core lamp makes more sense and there is a definite P sound.
I am pretty sure he is also saying pretend to be manic. Pretend to be many doesn't make any sense, he is pretending to be manic and bouncing around on Saturday in some sort of club with a bamboo lamp which is attracting his attention in his euphoric state.

At the end of the day, gotta say get a handle
It was inevitable
Inevitable
Spent time on a Saturday
There's a lot of spray
You've got to be mental to get a handle of the scandal
You've got to be mental uuuuughh
It was inevitable
From the prams and the springs and the dawn get a handle
It was inevitable
Inevitable
Many times on the 1st of May
You'd go round on a Saturday
From the spray of the clowns get a handle
From the radio and the window reports please get a handle

I don't hear 'p' either...the whole thing is unsatisfactory as it stands, though.

He sings 'core lamp' and also one time 'core light.'
'And pretend to be many. '
Glad to clear that up.

And in the context of references to Burma, I wonder if "calling" might be "coelacanth". It's probably not, though.
