Hey, carefull - that one was me

Still like the HH lyric actually:D

I hear it as 'certain' too.

But then again, most places online that I've checked say that the actual lyric is "sudden". I always thought it was "certain".

Barcaboy99 -

I see a ship in the harbour, I can and shall obey..." - I actually thought that Barney was singing about a shallow bay!

Leathergirl -

On "True Faith", I used to think that the lyrics were "A certain sense of liberty", when it's actually "A sudden sense of liberty".

I made same mistake with these two songs. I am notorious for getting the words wrong, my sisters always corrected me on loads of stuff, the above isn't too bad but some of my more outrageous ones are too embarassing to mention.

Have you clicked the link Missy? Are you guilty of any of those I have been guilty of a couple of the ones mentioned here already......But now I'm beginning to wonder if I others:\ohwell:

Most of the mishearings on the link are just too silly. I think I did have "I'll find myself as I go home" though. I don't remember what I used to think "I see a ship in the harbour I can and shall obeyBut If it wasn't for your misfortune I'd be a heavenly person today" was but nothing that they've listed.

Not had time yet, but i will, no doubt i'm guilty of others!!

I plead guilty to this one:

"Fine Time" Misheard Lyrics: You've got lotta technique Original Lyrics: You've got love technique

'I know judo. We believe in the land of love.'

When the lyrics have been published, for example in the book New Order Music 1981-1989 they've been wrong!

When I first heard Crystal I thought the line "...with a girl I betrayed" went, "...with a girl underage". Absolutely awful but I soon realised my mistake. Good job before I sang it in public!

My most embarrasing one, in Run, I used to think it was "Anyone would think you were hog dumb too". I've seen te "real" lyrics as "Anyone would think you were hard done to" on this site and "Anyone would think you were hardened too" on another site. Don't know for sure which one is righ,t but probably not "hog dumb"!

Surely senor sumner has uttered ALL otf theses words before?

I always thought in Run he sang "you don't get a tan like this for nothing" - meaning you don't get a holiday in the sun for free.Or you could interprete that metaphorically to mean you don't get something good for nothing. But apparantly he sings "you don't get a town like this for nothing" .Still not sure what exactly that means And at the end of 1963 for years i heard "i will always feel free" - this suited me as that's how the music made me feel ,FREE! .But i eventually found out he sings "i will always feel for you"

Much prefer "feel free" though

Regarding 'Run', i always thought he sang - 'you dont get a time like this for nothing'

are the lyrics on this website the official lyrics? or just someones interpretation, because i'm not altogether sure they're correct...spotnick could you answer? cheers!

i've always heard time there as well. i prefer that line with time rater than town. it just makes more sense that way.

i have always thought the repeated word was 'free'... according to wikipedia it is "faith"!

i had to take double and triple takes on that one!!!

listen to tim...it is 'faith'!

Pretending not to see his bum I said lets go out and have some fun

Cheers

In BM I used to think it was "lived through devilcations", but it was actually "lived through their vocations".

Your heart meets you late at night !

Thank god, me too! And most of the other misheards you guys have mentioned.. yeah, all me. I was a big fan of the "Look at me I love you" lyric, and as well with the shallow bay bit on BM.

At the very end of Vanishing Point, I would just start mumbling because I couldn't sort out what he was saying.

my biggest error here was don't do it. until the saviour put me right i though it was just incomprehensible gibberish instead of "don't put your finger in the button".

I also thought it was "love is the id that supports the ego" in Theives Like Us. I must have had Freud on the brain at the time.

Misheard Lyrics: Every time I see you, Polly Original Lyrics: Every time I see you falling

these are the lyrics for Ceremony that the most common tablature for Ceremony gives:

You'd smile and salute me If I told a different story All the sinful wheels are turning Turning in and turn towards this time All she asks is when to hold me Then again the same old story We traveled oh, so quickly Travel first to me, towards this time Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows it's got to be this time What she'd heard, these things she said The time she cried and failed to wait this time Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows it's got to be this time Avenues, all lined with trees Picture me and then you start watching Watching forever Forever - watching love grow Forever - letting me know Forever

horrible grammar and interpretation indeed. As you can imagine his tablature of the song if way off as well.

horrible

I know, you know, we believe in the lamb of god...

I would not complain bout my wooden heart.

My favorite song, Temptation I hear:

What's the purpose of people down below People in this world have no place to go

When actualy it is:

Bolts from above hit the people down below People in this world without no place to go

I still have to read the lyrics to remember the real ones, as I have been singing it for too long to change what I hear. Always wanted to know what the hell he was going on about. . .now I know.
