Misheard Pearl Jam Lyrics?

for ten years i thought "king jeremy the wicked" was "fuck-ing cunt played cricket".
.. what a complete fool i felt when i did a karaoke version at my mothers 60th birthday party!.......... she fucking hates cricket!

that's hilarious

Same for me.

Glorified version of a Pelican.

I thought that Eddie was insane..

I always got mixed up listening to Alive...

Real lyrics "She said I'm sorry, but I'm glad we talked"
What I thought " She said I'm sorry, but I'm playing guitar"

and then in Jeremy...

Real lyrics " Jeremy spoke in class today"
I thought: " Jeremy's spoken blessed"

Eraserhead

From Nothing As It Seems:

Correct: putting in, inputting in
Mis-heard pudding in, pudding in

(:Smile:)

"I'd rather bleed with an enema" and "her legs spread before me as her body was dead" always make me smile...

just as in Staind's 'Epiphany' - "Cuz I can't take anymore of this, I wanna come and fart (come apart), and dig a little hole inside your precious heart..."

I've got a few:
In Corduroy:
"I would rather starve than eat your breast" rather than "bread"
and
"Thinking that I can put on my clothes" instead of "They can buy but can't put on my clothes"

In Daughter:
"She will....RISE THROUGH FIRE.....ooooooooooooooooo"
as opposed to
"She will....RISE ABOVE................ooooooooooooooooo"

It is DEFINITELY "SHAKE beneath the clouds" in Black....no chafing!

also, 99.9% sure Eddie sings "Get out of my fucking face" even on the studio version of Leash...

Oh, and much earlier in this thread, someone said they misheard the "legs spread out before me" line and corrected themselves with "her lace spread out before me as her body was still." I always thought it was:

"...untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me, as her body once did."

Have I also been singing the wrong words for 13 years now?????

Isn't it "Lay spread out before me"

Also I've seen Chafe written in lyrics before

lanners

my roommates at the time VS came out used to sing: "45 virgins and a pelican" in Glorified G

i've also heard someone sing in Jeremy: "clearly i remember, picking on his nose"

i won't go into what people (including myself) have misheard in Yellow Ledbetter or Corduroy.

AfternoonDelight

Thumbing my way--

the line which says " I let go of the rope thinking thats what held me back, in time i realise its now wrapped around my neck"

i thought said " And i look at the road, thinking thats what held me back, and in time i realise its not wrapped around my neck"

i actually think my version mkaes more sense and is more relevant to many similies and metaphors eddie makes concerning roads

btw anyone else noticed the similarity between the sound of this song and joy division love will tear us apart

I always thought the following for Red Mosquito:

"I was was bitten, must have been the devil, he was just plain mean"

I wasn't too suprised to find out that it is actually:

"I was bitten, must have been the devil, he was just paying me..."

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 thought the exact same thing!! Practise breaking your feelings is an awesome line

RITFW When Ed changes the lyrics of the last verse

actual Lyrics"We're a thousand points of life for the soldier man, help him to come home soon, come home while he can,???? he promised us, toliet paper, styrophone garbage for the ozone layer.

misinterpretation "Were a thousand points of life for the soldier man, help him to come home soon, come home while he can,???? he promised us then tore the paper, styrophone copies for the ozone layer.

Like the promises were written then torn up andthere were copies on styrophone.

Yea I know it's stupid but thats how i thought I heard it on a boot that i have with a ton of scratches.

Kraven

I mixed up the fist and pissed in RVM. As for Black I think it is "...were laid spread out before me as her body once did" It would be redundant if he said legs and body, no? Also for a little while I thought it was "...all the bitches have all been washed in black" instead of "all the pictures have been all washed in black." Also in the live versions of Black now does Eddie say "I hope you'll be a star" instead of "I know you'll be a star"? At the end of Alive is Eddie yelling something about alcohol? Oh ALCOHOL YEAH HUH ooo ALCOHOL!

During "In Hiding," I always thought Eddie sang "I stayed where my lust hath kept me," but it turns out he sings "I stayed where my last cab left me..."

The first time I heard Black on the radio I thought he said,

Paging Dr. Freud![/quote

I thought is was:
"Her legs spread out before me, as her body grew still"........

Even tho I was wrong, I thought that was very sexy........
