I tell you now, it's Mothers... it's fairly clear if you hear a live recording.
I Mother, sorry, never really liked Coming Around much, but it's grown on me recently.

I just had a listen to a live version from 2001 and even though it isn't clear, I would say it is probably mothers, but then why does it sound nothing like mothers on the studio version? It still sounds like never! :) Mothers fits so I'm pretty sure it is.

Oh and I love it. Always have. Top 10 Travis song. I love it! Never and all!

There's only one live version on YouTube that I can find and the first couple of words are chopped off. Just to bother us.

Couldn't someone please make a statistical analysis on how many people who hear "never", how many who hear "mothers", how many who think the correct word is "never" and how many think the correct one is "mothers"? Of course I would gladly have done it myself, except that I have better things to do. Or well, not really, because then I wouldn't sit here, but I get weird if I stare at the computer for too long, so I'd better go to bed now anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's mothers. As someone said, if you listen to a live version it's more obvious than on the originally recorded track. I would upload some versions for you, but my pc is acting up tonight.. Pretty sure you can find a few on that savefile project that's been posted here somewhere though.

I'm with those that say that "mothers" makes more sense but hear "never" anyway xD. I'll check a live version...

OMG I'm confused now, I always listen Never, but I think Mothers makes sense with the lyrics... I'll listen the song again!

I've been walking around with this song in my mind ever since I first read this. I can't think about it anymore. It's hurting my brain. I'll just join in at the chorus.

Further contemplating, and thinking "mothers" works in the context of the video, what with the unhatched egg and all.
