Default Help with China Crisis lyric

It's almost 30 years old this song and I still don't know what the first line is.
The song is "Working With Fire And Steel"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ7vX7xX0G8

Anyone know it? Checked some websites and they all start with,

"I could never keep a beat, too busy in my paradise..."

but I always wondered what he says at the 5 - 7 second point.

Sorry for the poor youtube audio. This version is edited too, note insertion of "stuck" instead of you know what at 1:21.

Probably meaningless but always been curious.

Whatever it is, it sounds Swedish.

It is a backwards message - "I buried Paul".

It sounds like counting - 1,2,3 in some other language?
