The most butchered U2 lyrics you ever sung

[youtwohearts]

In all these years I have been singing Two hearts I thought the words were:
Beat on Black, Beat on White
Beat on anything, don't get it right
Beat on you, Beat on me...PIANO

Ah no, Not PIANO it was Beat on Love. Never had that right and it still doesn't sound right to me.

Doesn't sound right??? Blame the 'B' man

 

[valentina]

Piano?
Can't you see Bono beating as a crazy man on the piano? Interesting...

 

[youtwohearts]

Really, I can't be the only one to have sung the words wrong to some songs. It is a good thing for One4U2 this is a Depeche Mode Forum.

I've got several but this was the biggest one that I remembered.

The part from Bad where he's talking about the sky and the flag....I always heard it the way the poster on the thread for Bad heard it too.

 

[Durandal^]

I have several, here is one.

In Out of Control from Boy, when Bono sings:

One day I'll die, the choice will not be mine

I always thought/heard:

One shores, fiddles, not be mine

I vividly remember hearing fiddles.

 

[LMP]

I used to think that in the Numb [Gimme Some More Dignity Mix] Bono went,

Uh too much, Uh too much, Uh too much, (yeayea) too much is not enough

even tho it's: gimme some more, gimme some more, gimme some more (yeayea) too much is not enuf

 

[deltau922]

"I was on the field it was out of control"

I thought it was about a soccer riot or something.


Oh, and "I was thirsty and you wet my bed."

 

[youtwohearts]

these are too funny. I have one more although it wasn't mine alone. When numb came out my friend calls me to ask if I heard it yet except she pronouced it as nub. So for the longest time I thought that was the name.

 

[BVS]

I have several, here is one.

In Out of Control from Boy, when Bono sings:

One day I'll die, the choice will not be mine

I always thought/heard:

One shores, fiddles, not be mine

I vividly remember hearing fiddles.

I had a high school girlfriend that thought it was;

"One day your diving shorts
will not be in my room."

I laughed till I cried when I heard her sing along.

 

[2861U2]

For me, a lot from "Stay"

What I used to think: "A vampire, or a victory"
Actual line: "A vampire, or a victim"

What I used to think: "My enemy, New Orleans"
Actual line: "Miami, New Orleans"

What I used to think: "And if you shout, I will be near you"
Actual line: "And if you shout, I'll only hear you"

What I used to think: "Just the band, and the clatter"
Actual line: "Just the bang, and the clatter"

What I used to think: "3 o'clock, in the Munich"
Actual line: "3 o'clock, in the morning"

lol

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Misheard lyrics

Ever since I read some on here awhile back, all I hear now when I listen to Beautiful Day now is "sky full of felines" (instead of "sky falls you feel like...")

 

[LMP]

I thot the "It's all the time" in Walk On was "b***h gonna die", i cant believe i thot that

 

[ultraviolet7]

In UV when Bono sings "Ultraviolet, ultraviolet", I used to sing "won't you light my way, won't you light my way" and wonder why on earth he did not ever once mention the word Ultraviolet!
And it's always been one of my favourite songs...

 

[DiscoJokeX]

Out of control:
One day of diapers, shows the world will be mine

instead of

One day I'll die, the choice will not be mine
