Have you ever been singing along to a U2 song, then decided to have a look at the lyrics in the CD cover, only to discover you had it completely wrong? I have! So have a lot of people, and a net-friend of mine pointed me to a web page containing some piss-funny examples... I shall enter some below, feel free to add your own foibles.
(Warning - long post!)
From Bullet the Blue Sky...
Right: "I can see those fighter planes"
Wrong!: "I can see those spider brains"
From Desire...
Right: "And the fever when I'm beside her"
Wrong!: "And the evil when I'm beside her"
Right: "Lover, I'm on the street"
Wrong!: "Bluebird, I'm on the street"
~OR~ (my personal favourite!)
"'BLUBBER!' I often scream" (*LMAO*)
From Discoteque...
Right: "Discoteque"
Wrong!: "Piss on Tesh"
~OR~
"Let's go Ted"
From Everlasting Love...
Right: "Open up your eyes, then you'll realise"
Wrong!: "Open up your thighs, then you'll realise"
Right: "Where life's river flows, no one really knows"
Wrong!: "Where I threw my clothes, no one really knows"
From HMTMKMKM... (which admittedly I don't know well)
Right: "But they'll want their money back if you're alive at thirty-three"
Wrong!: "You don't want them on your back if you're a lion with fleas"
From I Still Haven't Found etc...
Right: "I believe in the kingdom come"
Wrong!: "I have seen the king of Pong"
Right: "I have spoke with the tongue of angels"
Wrong!: "I have smoked with a ton of angels"
Right: "I see the storm clouds disappear without a trace"
Wrong!: "I see the toaster disappear without a trace"
Right: "You broke the bonds, And you loosed the chains"
Wrong!: "You broke the phone, And you lose the change"
From In God's Country...
Right: "Desert Sky, dream beneath a Desert Sky"
Wrong!: "Desert Guy, Jeremey, the Desert Guy"
From Numb...
Right: "Don't piss in the drain"
Wrong!: "Don't piss on your brain"
From One...
Right: "Have you come here to play Jesus, to the lepers in your head"
Wrong!: "Have you come here to play Caesar, and do the leopards in your bed"
Right: "One love, one blood, one life"
Wrong!: "One love, one dud, one life"
Right: "One love, one blood"
Wrong!: "One love, one glove"
From Pride...
Right: "They took your life, they could not take your pride"
Wrong!: "They took your life, they could not take your pie"
From So Cruel...
Right: "And you need her like a drug"
Wrong!: "And you beat her like a drum"
From The Sweetest Thing...
Right: "Baby's got blue skys up ahead"
Wrong!: "Baby's got blisters on her head"
Right: "Mine is a blind kind of love O-o-oh, the sweetest thing"
Wrong!: "Mine is a blind cantaloupe O-o-oh, the Swedish theme"
From Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses...
Right: "and you killed it, cause I wanted revenge..."
Wrong!: "and you killed it, 'cause I wanted a Benz..."
There's more, but those were the best.
My own fumbles include the line from Dirty Day that goes "Love... Won't last kissing time".... I thought it said "Love... One last kiss & tell"... Oops!
