I know it's not intended that way but I like to think of Let me sleep beside you as being sung to a guy. Just hear

Boy, you're a woman now

and the song will be so much better! (Let your hair hang down/wear the dress your mother wore/let me sleep beside you - it all comes in a new light)

Until recently I thought that on Suffragette City he sings
"This mellow fat chick just put my spine out of place".
I found out it's actually mellow-thighed chick, and it sounds rather better now :-)

And, lest I forget, a killer:

"Cause Lenin's on sale again" (Life On Mars)

It makes sense though.

From IAOA

Johnny wants to suck on a cock = Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants to pick up a jock = Johnny wants to think of a joke

I also thought I heard:
Johnny wants pussy in cars -
but I heard correctly.

From LFS:
(I heard)gay meditation = Dame meditation
sit on my car = sit on my karma

From MOAFF
the sun machine is scumming down = the sun machine is coming down

What can I say? That's how my mind works. Slave to sex.

On Andy Warhol there is a line that goes:
"Dress my friends up just for show
See them as they really are"

Before I knew that, I thought it was:
"Guess my friends are just for show..."

Now, sometimes, I wickedly imagine it's:
"Mess my friends up just for show"

lyric books are usually incorrect and shite to some extent.

but, now you have gone and your prejudice wont keep you warm tonight~the smiths

Then there's Station To Station (the song):

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderwind"

when it actually goes:

"Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when?"

In reply to:

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderwind"

I allways heard that as "wonderfull, wonderfull, wonderway"


Achtung, achtung! You have been found guilty of consuming more than your allotted amount of air!

That's what I heard too! Wonderway...?

The best ever missheard line I think is from Soul Love:
New love - a boy and girl are talking
New words - the dawn of bacon-sharing

Well - new words for me at least...

They did not exist untill Art had invented them - Wilde

I always thought it was "The smell of fat chicks just put my spine out of place" in Suffragette City...it doesn't make sense but it is highly amusing

"I wish I could change...I'd change just for you...but you live in tommorrow and I'm still stuck in yesterday..."
