Here's my stab at it, based on what Steve posted...
I've been interpreted and shrunk
I've been as touchless as a drunk
This is as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
This is as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
Love is a curse
Be her world, all it deserves
Love is a curse
Get what you can't not desert
I know, I know it's all just first blurts
That he who would try to own deserves it
And I know it's got nothing to do with deserves it
Just that you don't just blurt, "love is a curse"
love is a curse
love is a curse
You don't just blurt, "love is a curse"
Though I've been too weak to escape
And I don't have the strength to pluck a grape
Though it's as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
Though it's as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
Love is a first
Felt the dull fangs of the truth
Love is a first
First music they torture to
Love is a first
A song would power it first
Love is a first
Let's walk down the darknesses hurse
We were frozen until he saw us
and smoke and murder fell on the floor
and watch the own death of your TV
and dreams are stuck in urgent tweads
Drain the ocean of words
like God's representatives on earth
Learn to hurt and how not to hurt
and the thing you taught me and what I learned (there's something else here...)
Love is a first
And it's as bad as or worse
Love is a first
As bad as or worse
Love is a first
As bad as or worse
Love is a first
As bad as or worse
Love is a curse
Be her world, all it deserves
Love is a first
Go where the curtain... and curse...
Love is a curse
Get what you can't not desert
Love is a first
Loves just a curse and a curse...

I still think it's:
"Get what you get, not deserve."

Yeah ---
Selon Moi, two lyric changes are:
"Walk (Perhaps Trot ) down on darkness' horse" (as per a rant in the 2005 DVD)
and
"and dreams are stuck in urgent tweads" is not right. I hear the good old "darkly nurtured dreams" lyric there. Remember, this was written around WC -- and Gord likes using the same lyrics in several songs.
Just my thoughts.
Cheers,
R

My best guess (good to be back, btw.): Question marks where I'm really guessing, asterisks where my interpretation is different from some:
I've been interpreted and shrunk
I've been as touchless as a drunk
This is as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
This is as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
Love is a curse
Be her world, all it deserves
Love is a curse
*Get what you get, not deserve*
I know, I know it's all just first blurts
That he who would try to own it deserves it
And I know it's got nothing to do with deserves it
It's just that you don't just blurt, "Love is a curse."
Love is a curse
Love is a curse
You don't just blurt, "Love is a curse."
Though I've been too weak to escape
And I don't have the strength to pluck a grape
Though it's as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
Though it's as bad as or worse
as bad as or worse
Love is a first
Felt the dull fangs of the truth
Love is a first
?Felt music, they tortured her?
Love is a first
?I saw it power it first? (?A song of power and force?)
Love is a first
Walked down on darkness' horse
*Drew the poison from the source
and smoked out murder fell on the floor*
and watch the own death of your TV
and dream these darkly nurtured dreams
Drain the ocean of its words (worth?)
like God's representatives on earth
Learn to hurt and how not to hurt
and the thing you taught me and what I learned
is Love is a first
And it's as bad as or worse
Love is a first
As bad as or worse
Love is a first
As bad as or worse
Love is a first
As bad as or worse
Love is a curse
Be her world, all it deserves
Love is a first
Go where the ?curses? (?curse and?) occurs
Love is a curse
Get what you get, not deserve
Love is a first
?Love's just a curse and occurs? ?Love's just a curse and a curse?
Cheers,
John

A different tense of the verb "shrink"?

"I've been interpreted and shrunk" — possibly in reference to common parlance for a psychiatrist, ie the subject's been psychoanalyzed in therapy session, having their 'issues' interpreted, and thereby feeling "shrunk"? Just my C$0.02.
