    Thought it was 'But I'm playin guitar'. Which didn't make complete sense as it's the mother saying that but I figured it was supposed to be the Eddie voice saying that ... Like 'This sucks, but I'm playing guitar so I'm alright and still alive'.

    Hmph.

    I thought the same exact thing for like the first ten years i heard it, i used to sing it out loud and everything.

    Classic! One of the funniest PJ things I've ever seen.

    I bought a shirt with that line on the back, and "potato wave" on the front. No one has a clue...


    I NEED that shirt! :lol:

  • Back in the early 90's I always sang "Once, oh party time" instead of "Once upon a time". I drank and smoked a lot back then so it kind of made more sense too. :lol::lol::lol:

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard that. I also thought Black said "all the bitches have all been washed in black."

    Yeah, we could def come up with something better than the shirt I have. I just thought it was funny to see that someone actually made one, so I snatched it up.

    One more: up until a year ago, I thought "King Jeremy the wicked" went "King Jeremy, oh we cared" (which really wouldn't make much sense, would it?).

  • "Young girl . . . . violins" instead of violence. I think that's referenced in the lyric sheet too.

    "Lick the dirt off Olajuwan's feet" is what I WANTED him to be saying in Rats.

    Actually on faithfull, I don't believe that it says "furry thing". I think that Eddie just drags out the word everything. As in "ev-err-y thing.

    That's what I hear, though I intially also thought it was furry


    it says furry thing in the yield lyrics. i hope it's furry thing because that's one of my favourite lyrics.

    I believe this is a reference to the book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn, which some of the band members were reading and influenced by at the time they were writing/recording Yield.

    That Eddie is so clever . . .

    I thought he said violins in Daughter too!

    I also thought Jeremy was 'Jeremy's spoken class today"
    Take me for a ride before we leave...
  • I thought in I Got ID it was "I won't deny..." instead of what it really is "I walk the line..."
  • I think violins/violence is a deliberate double entendre/homonym.

    For the longest time I thought these were the true lyrics to Jeremy:

    Ha! I thought I was the only one. "But I'mmmmm plaaaaying guitar!" The first few times I heard the song I was sure these were the lyrics.

    I assume this has been posted, right?

    And I see the reference on the 2nd page, but the link is above.


    As for the violence/violins thing, I've heard that she SHOULD be playing/practicing violins, but she is so affected by violence that she can't do the violins.

    i just found out in In mY Tree he says "got back my inner sense..." instead of "got back my innocence". i like that.

    i think the COrduroy thing is more clear on RVM than Vitalogy, or maybe im thinking of another song.
    INNER SENSE?? WHAT!
