"Car alarm, won't let you back to sleep..."

[WildHoneyChild]

Now I know at there is at least one song for each of you that you have heard something completely different from the official lyrics...Anyone have a U2 song where you've completely fudged the lyrics?

 

[FallingStar]

"Car alarm, won't let you back to sleep..."

What's wrong with this line? That's the way I always heard it.


And don't come with "Car alarm, won't let John back to slep"

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

well, we all know what i sing during the bongolese of "another time, another place"

 

[wertsie]

well, we all know what i sing during the bongolese of "another time, another place"

I swear part of it sounds like "Jeez oh petes!"

So what IS wrong with that ES line?

 

[Lilly]

i thought it WAS "car alarm, won't let you back to sleep" cos that fits with "you're kept awake, dreamin someone else's dream."



*goes to look

 

[Lilly]

The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking


On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out


You're in my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love


Car alarm
Won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake
Dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold
But it'll get you through
Compromise
That's nothing new to you


Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been


In my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love


Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry


It's hot as hell
Honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Hope the rain will wash away our bad luck


The sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love


Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm


Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry

It is suggestive????? Tell me more.

 

[WildHoneyChild]

Oh. It just could turn someone on?????



I know quite a few who would insist on that he does! A lot!!

 

[U2Kitten]

We all love that MW thrusting Bono in PLEBA! He brightens my day every time I see him!

Speaking of fudged lyrics, does anybody else think it sounds kind of like "Caroline won't let John back to sleep..."

BTW I LOVE the song. It means a lot to me.

 

[IWasBored]

how about "rencham" whatever that means, instead of "let you"...i don't know...i don't know WHY, but i can't sing along to that song and say the right words...i'm pretty sure recnham isn't a real word...

Well, actually, to be precise, to me it sounds more like, "Car alarm won't let'cha back to sleep" as opposed to "let you," if that helps.

yeah, i know, but when the song gets to that part i forget the real words and think "rencham"...it's not even a case of mishearing them...*sigh* i'm pathetic...

 

[wertsie]

Too funny! Last time I listened to ES I totally heard "rencham" too!

That's what I always heard!!!
Exactly!

 

[macphistosmagic]

lol for a while I thought it was "caught along we're reaching back to sea" (i know waaaay off lol) which didn't make sense so I looked up the real lyrics.


And it does sound like rencham

 

[rivergoat]

car alarm.. IT'S CAR ALARM!!!

}~

goat

 

[popacrobat]

when i first heard it, i though the first line was

"the sea it swells like i saw hell''

 

[popacrobat]

i also thought the title of this thread at first

"come along, we'll let you back to sleep"
