"She really don't like it,

Wildwest Jesus being "led out to die on cavalry," rather than "Calvary."

that reminds me of one - possible a typo - on another forum ages ago re Jona Lewie's christmas classic Stop the Calvary

and there was a legendary for a while one from a clash forum of somebody completely mishearing Garageland, as Garry's Pants. Cue a string of running jokes re coming from Garry's pants

My friend Colin thought that the chorus of The Pixies' Monkey's gone to heaven was "This much is known for certain." Despite knowing the title of the song.

i'm still undecided wether Struimmer's singing about "some crazy weirdo" or widow on Yalla Yalla - the (typed) lyrics in the booklet say widow but some of his handwritten lyrics on global a go go and streetcore do not match what he's actually singing

 

[MightyAphrodite]

my sister used to drive me crazy with this one....


MAGGIE MAY....


"I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
Or steal my daddys kilt and make a living out of playing fool"


grrr.

we're all a bunch of clotheared sillies

That lovely old hymn about a visually-disadvantaged ursine.

Gladly, the cross-eyed bear.

 

[fogbat]

I'm still convinced that in the Hot Hot Heat song Bandages they're actually singing about someone called "Bernard James".

I can see Clearly now Lorraine has gone

I can see four bicycles in my way.

 

[rollinder]

That lovely old hymn about a visually-disadvantaged ursine.

Gladly, the cross-eyed bear.

same goes for that Alanis song where shes moaningh about her ex dumping her - that crosseyed bear that you gave to me

moar:
Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop: going through a time wind (as in wind up)
the new Wiley track about "money in his pocket" and either a shoe (or according to the dj) or a squirrel in his wallet

 

[rollinder]

and the Junior Murvin origanal of of Police And Thieves sounds like he's singing about pissmakers

 

[rollinder]

back to The Clash - from Rudie Can't Fail "chicken brew for breakfast" - well it'll go well with the chicken skin suit

 

[rollinder]

The Pogues, from Fairytale Of New York - "..an arable stat/strap and a drip in that bed" and (no) thanks to an early Never mind the Buzzcocks I still hear the first lines of Wuthering Heights as "Up on the windy, windey moors, sweet Roland fall in brie"

 

[rollinder]

All along the watchtower Princess Caribou

 

[isitme]

right, i'm sure on Paper Planes, MIA is singing

'All I wanna do
Is put a turkey on my head'

a new one Bette Davis eyes - "She's precocious
and she knows just what it takes to make a crow blush"

 

[lizzieloo]

A friend thought it was

"Oh no! your hair's too long, you can't catch love with an anorak on"

It wasn't

James - Tomorrow

 

[In Bloom]

thanks to an early Never mind the Buzzcocks I still hear the first lines of Wuthering Heights as "Up on the windy, windey moors, sweet Roland fall in brie"

"You had distemper, like my jealous eel"

 

[Silva]

listen to the victim abused by his sister
the bassist is racist, you know that we must face this

 

[butchersapron]

PE?

 

[rollinder]

"You had distemper, like my jealous eel"

I knew that line wasn't really it though which makes it worse

still get occasionally flashbacks to their version of Son Of My Father
"he pretended I was blended in a plastic mug"

still on a Buzzcocks note - took me ages to realise Belinda Carlisle (iirc) was wrong about Swords Of A Thousand Men featuring a barrel of fudge

 

[Silva]

PE?

Close. PwEi

"from all the unborn chickens, voices in my head"

 

[SpookyFrank]

"from all the unborn chickens, voices in my head"

That's the actual lyric isn't it?

 

[isitme]

on 'A Small Victory' is he singing 'Eggs, chips, bolognese?'

 

[Boycey]

That's the actual lyric isn't it?

yeah, it's actually a mistake on the lyric sheet.

 

[rollinder]

Dylan from Just like Thom Thumb's Blues

Sweet Melinda, the peasents call her the goddess of glue

Dont go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,
theres a bathroom on the right.

Dont go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,

Bowie - Ashes To Ashes

a flash of light but no smoking allowed
though that was the real line for years
