Off topic for just one second, what is required to read the booklet? I have it in iTunes, but I get "can't use this book" on my phones. I assume an iPad or similar reader is required? And if so, damn U2 for giving me free stuff I can't use -- I'll have to go Tweet my displeasure and hate for all the world to see

When I first listened to the album in full, I wasn't paying attention to the song titles (clearly)... I took "Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road" to be "See the world, see the world roll."

not really misheard, but in Cedarwood Road somehow I always expect Bono to sing 'the liffey' instead of the river. So that's what I'm singing

LOL! That reminds me of "your ass makes a circle... I see you when I go in there".

Now, every time I hear Volcano, I am hearing this (in addition to "The pasty's all gone" and "You and I are Rocky Road!"):

In California's "Santa Barbara, santa barbara",
I keep mistaking it for "Bu bu bubble wrap, sitting on bubble wrap, bu bu bubble wrap, sitting on bubble wrap"

This one is also from California...
"Well, that's what took me where I need to be
Which is here, out on Zuma
Watching you cry like a baby"
That middle line sounded like "which is here, Aloezuma" to me.... my google searches for "Aloezuma"
yielded no results...

I don't know if this counts as "misheard"
I searched the lyrics of EBW and it said "Baby, every doubt of history"
On a U2 Chile Facebook fan page someone put up the lyrice "Baby every dog on the street", and I laughed and told her she was wrong... but then I went to look up the SOI PDF file...
Really?
"Every dog on the street" ?????
I know that "every doubt of history" sounds weird, but it made more sense to me
Of course I deleted the reply

In California I originally heard the opening as literally repeating the Beach Boys:
"Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara
Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara
Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara
Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara"
etc.
Also: "Witches here, Montezuma" -- or "Witch is here, Montezuma"
And lately I'm hearing this: "Words can scare a fallen leaf." LOL. For the life of me I cannot hear the lyric as written, "Words can scare a thought away" -- it sounds to me clearly like "fallen leaf."
"Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara
Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara
Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara
Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara"
etc.

Bizarrely, I keep hearing "Baby, every dollar bill we steal." LOL. I actually prefer that to "every dog on the street" which is a real clunker of a lyric (one of the very few on this album BTW).

I've heard that since the first time I listened to the album.
And tbh, I find myself singing that lyric instead of the printed one...makes me wonder if the printed lyric is intentionally wrong.

I thought it was "Somebody stepped inside your soul," which actually sounds kind of deep and cool.

I've always thought that's what it was....I had no idea that wasn't the right lyrics.

"Somebody stepped inside your soul" are the right lyrics. The digital booklet says so as well. Unless I'm missing something.

Yeah - what on earth is it if it isn't somebody stepped inside your soul?

Hmm, didn't know those were the right lyrics.

Aside from the minor inaccuracies, again, what is wrong with this? "Every single dog on the street, knows that we're in love with defeat"...
I think people aren't reading the title of this thread and just quoting actual lyrics.
