    Trust in rusted minds refused to go. . .

    I always heard, "Trust in your strength mine's refused to grow"

    I always wondered why he didn't just hit up the gym. :lol:

    i grew up in Houston, home of the NBA's Houston Rockets. when i first heard "Rats", i could have sworn he was saying "picked the dirt off Olajuwon's feet." (Olajuwon=best NBA center ever, in my opinion) :lol::lol:

    I always heard, "Like Pilate, I have played God"

    My buddy always heard, "Black pilot I have a dog."

    I think mine fits better. lol. I still don't understand the actual lyric, however.

    For the longest time I didnt know that Ed sang "Violins" in Daughter. I used to always think it was "Young Girl, by all means...center of her own attention".

    I flip back and forth between "violins" and "violence", which changes the tone of the tune.

    Cheers,
