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.
Those were funny, although a little far-fetched....its hard to imagine anyone, even someone who has never even heard of Pearl Jam before, thinking Ed was saying "And I smoke, smoke, Winston's, Winston's" instead of "And if so, if so, who answers, who answers."
And I think "All I need tonight is a beer" would have made sense in "No Way."
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again'
Once I saw her...on a beach of weathered sand
Then you said...I wanna leave it again, yeah...
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said...
And then I call out again...
And the reasons, oughta leave her calm...I know
I said, 'I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah...
And I know that I know...I don't want to stay
Make me cry...
I see, ooh...I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah...
And I know, that I know, I don't wanna stay alone...
I don't wanna stay...yeah...
I don't wanna stay... (2x)
I don't, don't wanna, oh...yeah...ooh...ohh...
Close anyway...
What was he smoking when he was singing it, bcuz damn! Kick a** song though!
i thought jeremy was '...lemony snickets son' instead of 'lemon yellow sun'...haha nah just kidding.
but black has bugged me, because i am certain that it is 'now my bitter hands, shake beneath the clouds'...but some people insist on 'chafe beneath the clouds'. i mean, hands dont chafe, and thats just stupid. also, i have a really cool wallpaper picture with the black lyrics and eddie, but someone spoiled it by writing Chafe in it. sooo annoying when something stupid like that happens.
Here's my own personal favorite mis-hearing...I might have already posted it...but anyway....in Fatal, instead of "When April's in May" I heard "With Eggrolls in Mayo."
Those were funny, although a little far-fetched....its hard to imagine anyone, even someone who has never even heard of Pearl Jam before, thinking Ed was saying "And I smoke, smoke, Winston's, Winston's" instead of "And if so, if so, who answers, who answers."
And I think "All I need tonight is a beer" would have made sense in "No Way."
Can you imagine what it feels like for us when our mother tongue is not English?
At least you misheard it for another word,but we...... we are creating dozens of new words.
BTW BEST THREAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS When I first heard Jeremy,in my high school,oh gee was it a puzzle!!!!-
Its seems there are quite a few mishearings of that one specific line in 'Go.' So I thought I'd share mine, although not as humorous as others ....
'... I turned to my nemesis, A full-on fucking God...'
I definitely agree about Black, and the liner notes for Ten and Vs. make it SO hard to decipher the words. Corduroy is a giggle as well, considerin' how they forgot to put that in the Vitalogy book.
I always hear: "The waiting drove me mad, I'm finally here and you're a mess, even though I KNOW it goes the other way round. S'funny.
And Lukin? Forget it, I still don't know it all. I got the lyrics off the net and still find it obscenely hard to catch!
And finally, I, too, will admit to the 'pelican' part of Glorified G, but I quickly looked it up, seeing as how it made next to no sense.
And I always hear "f**king face" on Leash, I was sure of it!!!
Too many cowboys, not enough indians, so just go ape shit!
I may be boring but at least I'm not Jack fucking Johnson.
TV is such shit; let's go outside and ride bicycles, right now!

Yes, Ed more often than not sings "F**king face" on live versions. I think that is what he wants it to be, but on the studio version he sings "lucky face" since it's a song about youth and he doesn't want parents in an uproar over their kids singing along to a song that says "F**king" throughout the whole piece. That's what I think, anyway.
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
I 100% thought the lyrics for Green Disease were what you thought they were. Infact I had a little giggle thinking the right lyrics were your misinterpretation of the real ones. I would have bet my entire life savings and everything I own that the corrrect lyrics were incorrect. But I have since listened, and looked in the liner notes and .... well lets just say I'm lucky I never made a bet. Wo man, you have changed my life in a small way. I do think the misheard lyrics work well also though.
can I ask a favour of any pj purists out there. I've had a heck of a lot of trouble with a line in hitchhiker. Its right at the end of the last verse.
'... go tell all of your friends, I'm _____________ ...." I have absolutley no idea what Ed sings there. I've tried many internet searches for it, and none satisfy. A lot try to sell that the line is 'I'm an idiot and your great,' but I just don't buy that. It doesn't fit the rest of the song at all. I would appreciate any help on this one.... its been driving me nuts every time I listen to the song.

I know someone who always used to sing Alive:
...sorry you didn't see him, but I'm playing guitar!...
(funny thread)
Glad I'm not the only one! I posted this earlier in the thread.

Thats what i believed for years

"...Her legs spread out before me as her body lays still."
Peace.
it's your mind playing tricks on you. listen to it again with a cleared mind.
that is amazing! I can't even imagine that...they sound nothing alike....gotta be one of the strangest mis-hearings I'm aware of....
Be cool. It's definitely shake.
i also believed it was violins for years....definetly sometimes it's pretty hard to get what ed's saying....
Believe it or not your dad and you are both right. In the lyric booket it has "Violins(ence)"

Okay, you just blew my mind.
I thought he was saying, "And we're teenagers leaving the game".

Until I read this post, I though it was "violins." Hmmmm... Guess I should pay more attention.
Also when I first heard "Animal" I thought it was "I gotta be" instead of "I'd rather be"
I thought that was the proper lyric. *blushes* What is it?
"Don't it always seem to go... you don't know what you've got till its gone...they paved paradise...and put up a parking lot..."
".... Your dreams.......I see......................"
'... I turned to my nemesis, A full-on fucking God...'
The proper lyric in Black is "her legs spread out before me..."
I know that some folks think it's something different, but I believe otherwise.
Peace.
