    Turned to my nemesis, opposed my fucking god. I still think it's sounds quite logical.

    I knew this wasn't what the lyrics actually were, it wouldn't make sense. However, in Insignifigance when he sings "It's instilled.....to wanna liiiiiiive!" I always heard "It's insane.....chew on a leeeeeeg!"

    I had alot of those, I started sleeping with the CD's on and now It's like 100 times easier to decipher what eddie is saying.
    That's two things we've got, Tape and Time.

    I had a weird one with the lyrics to Green Disease. Mind you. I make it my mission to know all the lyrics properly, and i have never really had a mistake(maybe 1 word, or just forgetting it), until this one...

    LYRICS: Believe me just asking you to sway.No white or black just grey.
    Can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?

    MISHEARD LYRICS: Believe me , just asking you to stay. No I don't, practise breaking your feelings... One with your heart and not your brain?

    Oh the embarrasment when i found out... Only knew because i was going to use them in my msn username so went on lukin to get it properly! HA! lol
    She said to me, over the phone...She wanted to see other people... I thought:
    "Well then, look around, they're everywhere"
    Said that she was confused... I thought:
    "Darling, join the club"

    Misheard Lyrics:
    And now my bigger a**, cradles stolen hash.
    or
    And now my better half, rests on broken glass.
    Correct Lyrics:
    And now my bitter hands, cradle broken glass.

    Faithful...

    actual: M-Y-T-H is belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear,
    we never listen...

    what i heard: and while teenagers believe in the game controls that keep us in a box of fear, we never listen...

    ds
    And no one sings me lullabyes
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    in Fatal, I thought "When April's in May" was "With Eggrolls in Mayo". OK, I didn't actually think that was what he said, but I couldn't hear it as anything else, if ya know what I mean...

    Instead of "Glorified version of a pellet gun."
    My friend heard "All five versions of a pelican."
    Quite a different song his way.

    In Corduroy:

    I thought the opening line was:
    "The waiting trophy mat..." (like Ed was going to wrestle someone on a mat for a trophy.)

    Now I know that it's really:
    "The waiting drove me mad..."

    Ha! I love these posts. I can't pretend to KNOW what all the lyrics are but I've never unintentionally misheard them. However, my friend thought that Daughter went like this:
    "Don't call me Doris ... my beige old cat will remind me."

    My friend thought Betterman was:
    "Can't find the butter-man."

    But he never really "listened" to the entire song very closely, otherwise he would have figured out the real lyrics. Funny, nonetheless.

    My Dad who is a HUGE PJ fan but terrible with lyrics thought in Daughter he was saying "Young girl, Violin" istead of "Young girl, Violence".

    misheard lyric - turned to my nemesis and pulled a fucking gun

    I always thought it said something about a gun too, but I found out the right lyrics a couple of days ago, lol.

    I always thought they were going for a double entendre with the Violins violence thing.
    It's really great when your in a limo you can put your head to the window and look out at all the homeless people-E.V.

    When I was a nipper I could have sworn that the lyrics to Drop were 'drop the leash get out of my fucking face' instead of 'lucky'.
    Well thats it for me but the lyrics to yellow ledbetter I still cant pick up cant pick up maybe I'll try harder cause it's a damn good song!
