"Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed" from corduroy

"Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my father" from Small Town.

Any other lyrics that have famously been misheard?

    Would not have known that this was not the line if it was not for this thread. :lol:

    I like Ed's line about Mike from Benny hall:

    "I want to rock and roll all night, and part of every day"
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

    There's also the mystery misunderstood lyric from State of Love and Trust that was being debated on the board.

    When Eddie read the post he anonymously PM'd the guy saying what the correct lyrics were, the guy then responded back to Ed saying he didn't know what he's talking about.

    Eddie claims he hasn't posted since.
