Alternate live lyrics

[SkeeK]

Let's compile a list of all the lyric changes when songs are sung live.

For Streets:
I wanna dance dance dance with you again...
I'll show you a place with no sorrow or shame...
I wanna break through into a new frame...

Since I'm too lazy to do any more, I'll let open the floor to suggestions.

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

Streets:
-I want to play in the dirty rain

One:
-Have you come here to play Jesus? Cause I did.
-Is it too late tonight to drag the past out into the light?

Desire:
-Fever, when I'm inside her

God, so many more that I'm missing...

"I buy socks."
-Adam, when asked what he does with the money he would have spent on drink.

"The babes, the feast, and the toga conspire to give Adam the bearing of a Caesar (one of the late, inbred, lunatic Caesars, perhaps, but a Caesar nonetheless.)"
-Bill Flanagan, at an after-concert soiree with the band and Co.

"If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane."
-Adam, The Simpsons

WOWY:

I've never understood the lyrics added at the end of one; the lyrics about "you hear me coming Lord...will You make me crawl." What do you guys make of them?

There's also "I want to have some fun in the dirty rain."

No, on the album its "Well, it's too late tonight" not "Is it too late tonight."

I know the new version is posted on the web but "New York" had a total face lift. Too many changes to mention real quick.
