    Glorified G I used to sing the backup part (stones?) as:

    That gun is givin' me hope.... (4x)



    Actual lyrics (for background)
    Life comes...I can feel your heart...
    Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
    Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
    Like some...I can steal your heart from your neck...

    in rvm, instead of 'saw things', i keep hearing 'sophie! sophie!', oh, yes, i sang those words too, not even thinking about how little sense it makes

    I'm pretty sure I don't sing anything exactly correct..but neither does Ed so i guess it's ok.

    I read the following in a similar thread a few months ago, and now this is what I hear instead of the real lyrics. In Go I hear:
    "Turned to my mrs, I pulled out my fucking cock."

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

    There are others, but none quite as funny as that.

    That has got to be the funniest one so far!!


    I always get the line in cropduster wrong - "I thought the world, turns out the world thought me". I always hear "fought" instead. It always makes me picture a little eddie boxing against a blue and green globe of the planet lol.

    I hear that in Cropduster too.

    For me, Vitalogy had the most misheard lyrics before looking them up. Examples:

    Last Exit
    Actual - "Lives opened and trashed, 'look ma watch me crash'."
    Me - "Life's an open chest, let my words be crass."

    Not For You
    Actual - "Small my table ... stormed my room."
    Me - "Starlight table ... stoned my room."

    Corduroy
    Actual - "Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed. Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture."
    Me - "Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed. Take my hand, not my picture, spelled my t-shirt."

    Satan's Bed
    Actual - "Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us."
    Me - "Get some place to stay, so they live like us."

    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.
    Ahahahahhaa good one :D Isn't it something...muffiiinman xD
    I was sure for all of my misheard, 'till I read the lyrics. Actually, my nickname has something to do with them too. In rearview mirror, when Ed sings: "saw things" I thought it was "sun beams". Would have liked it more actually x)
    From the same song, there's "united by fear," which I understood as "95 feet up."
    Then there was "off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope," which I read in one of the not-so-good lyrics on the net, and thought that on the record, it didn't sound like that.
    EDIT: Corduroy
    Actual - "Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed. Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture."
    Me - "Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed. Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my teacher."

    Has someone realized that PJ are making fun of their own betterman lyrics?
    See the vitalogy album: It`s written on the side: "Can't find the butter, man".

    And also at the very end: "Can't find a Peli___"
    Is this the pelican again?

    Dissident:
    Actual: "She's glided on"
    Heard: "She's cried along"

    rvm:
    Actual: "Forced to endure..."
    Heard: "Close to manure..."
    Also just now heard the "pissed on my plate" one

    Hail, Hail:
    Actual: "I could be new..."
    Heard: "I could be you..."

    also:
    Actual: "I find it on the run..."
    Heard: "Like honey on the run..."

    In MFC, when Ed sings "This wheel will be turnin' right, then straight" I always sing "This wheel will be turnin' right, DAMN straight".
