I have a pretty embarasing one!
In "Silver and Gold" on Rattle and Hum when Bono screams:
"Am I bucking you? Don't mean to buck you!"
Well, you can probably guess what I thought he was saying
I once sang that part when I was together with some friends. You won't believe the looks they gave me!

Cyril said:For the longuest time, I thought the words Bono sings at the end of One (the ones that are not in the booklet) were "Bacon, bacon, aaah", which I later found out was "Vacant, vacant heart".I am not kidding. Fyi, I was only 17 at the time, and English is not my first language ...

I thought it was "Bacon, bacon, it's hot! Ooooo, oooo, it's hot!"
In R&H Bullet the Blue Sky at 2:01, doesn't Bono say "Yeah, alright...algae!" I've never understood that one.
Ummm, what else? "Don't you buy your love" instead of "Ultraviolet love"
I'm sure there's lots more. My mom swears it's "In the garden I was playing guitar."

I always thought the UTEOTW lyric is "...in the garden playing sitar" non? I packed up my CDs when I got the iPod, so I can't check this little minute.
And I misheard one on HTDAAB just this morning and I can't remember it. Let me take anothr listen and see if I can...
My, how my brain is going during finals week!!

ok, ok maybe someone can help me here. in the normal version of gone near the end he says "no emotional goodbye" but on the 1990-2000 album version i swear to god that he says "no emotion at all goodnight" my boyfriend is adament that he doesn't say it but it sounds like he kinda strung all those words together. let me know what you guys think

Doesn't he say, " Am I buggin' ya? I didn't mean to bug ya!"

I thought in THE REFUGEE, it was "she come at night, she come and keep you company" rather than "shes coming back, she come and keep you company"

Changes that from a 'G' rating to 'X' rating! lol!
Until I read this post I thought it was honey lips.
I guess I should start reading the liners.

You can read them, but they are not always accurate.
"I have kissed honey lips..."
There's no 'T' sound there.. at least, not on The Joshua Tree version of that song.
Gives a spiritual swift kick in the pants to Universal for beating on fansites that post lyrics...

I sang 'I have kissed hardened lips' instead of 'I have kissed honey lips' in ISHFWILF forever. I only found out two weeks ago that i've been singing it compeltely wrong all these years.

Now I have listend to ISHFWILF again and again and I still say that it is honey lips on the original JT version and I have not been misled all these years.

Heard this twice in the car (speaking of honey...)- "but you're the color of my tongue" instead of "you're like honey on my tongue" in the first verse of A Man & A Woman.
Kind of gross...C

two of my best friends thought that in Children of the Revolution Bono sings "do you want food, the children of the revolution" they thought it was just Bono being weird

So did I! Although I heard some sort of word formation in the 'vacant' bit but wasn't sure exactly what he was on about.

UTEOFW- "guitar" "tart"
Pride- " One more in the name of love" What more, in the name of love"
Kite- I also thought it was " cat blowing in the breeze"
SATS- "Summer stretchin on the grass, turner dresses pass" "summer stretchin on the grass, summer dresses pass"
There are too many that I always here wrong.

My favourite misheard lyric so far has got to be:
It's a beautiful day
the sky's full of felines.
Although there is the classic, which I've heard sung by a million people at least:
I believe in the
King of Kong
