    I also always hear
    -'piss on my plate, swallowed it down' in rvw and to me, it'll always be that.
    -'masturbate in bed' in Sad...I still don't know what he's really saying

    And one I don't think anyone else hears but me; in Save You, I never knew he was swearing, I thought he was saying

    'Gonna save you for good...not gonna lose you....

    And suddenly if I say something you dont wanna hear from me if you only hear what you wanna hear
    from me if I care,... but Im not leaving here'
    "Would I rather be feared or loved? Um... Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me." -Michael Scott

    I don't know if this one has been posted.
    In Hiding:
    I stayed here when my last cat left me
    Ignored all the meows
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Anyone ever hear "when she had conflict with a cornflake there was meaning"?

    Cereal + Dissident = yum

    I just hope that I never, I mean NEVER have a conflict with a cornflake. I'm afraid it would put me over the edge. And I mean the EDGE.

    Oh but now wait.... you say it was a MEANINGFUL conflict?

    Well that changes things.

    Ok, a meaningful conflict with a cornflake might not be so bad afterall

    Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus

    for years until songs lyrics came up on website I thought it was

    Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' CIRCLES

    I thought the lyric in the beginning of Garden was "the erection of the eye". :o

    After five years of marriage, I finally trust my husband enough to listen to Pearl Jam in the car with him. We were listening to vs. last night on a long trip home, and during the song "animal" he asked "is he saying he'd rather be with a 9-year-old"?.

    My husband has a few other great ones, but I have to run.

    "im sterilized..."

    instead of

    "im still alive...."
    scratching my butt...
    kinakamot ang aking puwit...
    me rascando pompis...
    krap mijn reet...
    boku no ketsuoana o kizu...
    bahrosh teezy...

    world wide suicide, instead of "laying claim to the take our soldiers save" I heard "all the way from the days of sun-yun-sen" as in the Chinese emperor (the spellings off and my history sucks but I think that's right)

    I used to think the line "ritual when I lay down your crooked arm", was:
    "ritual, my lady, your cookin, oh"

    Seems I was wrong... I also think the real line offers a little more to the song.
    we're all going to the same place...

    Now I'm confused, cos I thought it was "laying claim to the day a soldier said, 'we're not quitting, the truth's already out there'".

    "Turned to my nemesis...a fool, not a fucking god"

    I thought it was

    "Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god"
    "Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"

    "They can buy, but can't put on my clothes" to me was:

    "...Thinking 'bout a cab put on my clothes"

    Would picture Ed, after a late nite romp, picking up his jeans an moving on...
    "Dream the dream others then...you will be no one's RIVAL!"
    "Doo do do do doo do doo, Doo do do do doo do doo..."

    Alive: "Sorry you didn't see him, but I was playin guitar"

    Go: "Turned to my nemesis, pulled out a fuckin gun"

    the list goes on and on... maybe that is why I love PJ so much, every time I listen to them I hear something new!

    In "No Way" I always heard "All I need tonight is a beer." instead of "Of my need to not disappear."

    Ah! Good ones!

    My wife has always wondered about the culinary delights of "Muffin Man" and "Butter Man"....

    yeah, that'd be Nothingman and Betterman, hon, thx.


    Muffin Man..LoL..my mum and I can't listen to that song without cracking up..
    Cos of what he says in the lost dogs cover about changing the lyric in Fatal cos he just couldn't get past Plato sounding like Play-doh...We crack up cos we think of the Muffin Man making Play-doh muffins!

    In Jeremy I thought "The dead lay in
    Pools of maroon below" was "that they lay in pools of brew blow"

    For a decade I woulda swore Filter was singing bout an 'amen nation', not telling some fella 'hey man, nice shot'.
