I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was "strong beliefs", and not a medical term

Tangential:
Most of my music came from Tony Hawks games, and one particular song kept coming up that I, at the time, hated a lot just because of how random it tried to be: Assorted Jelly Beans - Rebel Yell.
Other than sounding like a grating childish aneurysm, the lyrics were almost impossible to understand since they're sung in a shouty yet lazy kind of way. This used to piss me off immensely as a kid whenever this song popped up, but over the years it grew on me and I began to see it in a new light.
It's essentially a bunch of different songs crammed into one, haphazardly blended together through a series of bridges and resets, and yet it somehow holds together as a coherent song.
There's one particular bridge at 2:39 that essentially summarizes the whole ethos of the song, and even with the lyrics, it's a genuine challenge to say the lyrics on beat:
Spotlight's shining
(thought you had something to saay)
Hourglass is pouring, your boring crowd fades awaay
Boring crowd fades away
Give it a go, it's harder than it looks to sing it on beat.
Anyway it's a great song, and I challenge you to count how many individual mood shifts you can detect
Why am I talking about this? Your post reminded me of the the Adolescents - Amoeba song featured on the THPS soundtrack, and for a long time I thought the lyrics weren't "Amoebaaa", but the "the peopleeeeeee".
