Misheard Pearl Jam Lyrics?

Pearl Juli

You know, the lyrics for Daughter in the liner notes are like "violins/ence" or something like that (too lazy to look it up...) so it can go either way, both are right.

for the past ten years I thought I was hearing ... Turned to my nemesis, the fool had already fuckn' gone ...

NHiding720

we're not going crazy.

I always thought it was "I heard I'm still alive" instead of "I...ooh...I'm still alive"

Not like I didn't hear that part enough either.

Ms. Progressive

In 1/2 Full, the line that goes 'thinking that we're all but slaves.'

I thought it said 'thinking man, we're all that saves.'

That kind of makes sense if you think about it, though.

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!

What? I've always thought that Leash was "get out of my fucking face". I'll have to listen to that closer on the studio version, but I know I've heard him say "fucking face" on live versions.

Peace.

I thought the Go lyrics were "turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking God".
I had no idea he was saying "lucky" in Leash. And Yellow Ledbetter is really hard to make out in some spots. But its a great song.

Oh, and hi I'm new.

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...

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

PRACTISING BREAKING YOUR FEELINGS sounds great...

EdIsMyIdol32

yeah, the line "glorified version of a pellet gun" i thought he said "glorified version of a pelican"

Ashamed to say, but in black, at the beginning, I thought Ed said:

Her legs spread out before me...

Well, I guess I should be ashamed too, because I've been a PJ fan since the very beginning and to this very moment I would have sworn that was the lyric. I just had to look up the real lyrics on google just to find out what he is really singing. Yikes, all this time I've been singing the wrong line! It's gonna be difficult to sing it the right way now.

Peace.

I thought he said
Jeremy spoken, yes he did.

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.

p.s. i hope it isnt Chafe or ill snap

ed made the lyrics up on the spot. he doesn't even know what he's on about! CRAZY

LittleSecrets

OK, I have been listening to Black since Ten came out I have ALWAYS sang, "Her legs spread out before me, As her body holds still." I am I completely insane?

Oh and I truely thinks Daughter says "Violins" but that's funny, I never noticed the (ence) in the CD insert before.

So I once knew a guy who thought Glorified g said, "Four or Five virgins on a pelican." HAAAA

Oh and I must admit...I have never know the lyrics to Go. I just blab along with whatever sounds right at the time.

It so wierd when you find out you've been singing something wrong. Especailly for years. It blows my mind. And sometimes its depressing.

This is a great thread.
