foxglove hunt, 'the life highrise'

understood:
"i never said i would, it'd probably
hurt like the deuce afterwards
i said.."

actually:
"i never said i would, you probably
heard that but those aren't the words
i said"

I used to sing Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish when I was very young.
A few years ago I discovered I had almost none of the words correct.

Scuse me while I bump this thread. Recently I was watching some old Miami Vice episode and there was a song that stuck in my head and won't go away, which is annoying as it's a bit awful. As I remember it, it goes "oh-oh-oh-ah I could die in your arms tonight, it must be something I ate". Now I wonder, if I get to know what it really was maybe it will go away...

that would be i just died in your arms tonight by the cutting crew:

oh, i...i just died in your arms tonight.
it must have been something you said.
i should have walked away...i should have walked away.

i think you should do a cover of this song - your ambient/experimental tendencies would serve it well.

I misunderstood that I understood the lyrics to this song.

You know, they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
So vengeful and mother earth has been done wrong
And I think she's sick
Yo, she's pukin up LAVA
Her nerves tremble along fault lines ready to drop an entire city of filth
that's been forced upon her
We built these towers of Babel and feel remorse for nada
The momma divorce the father
The children are droppin bottles
The rich get richer, poverty's hot under the collar
Takin prayer outta schools and we're tryin to raise scholars
Creationism vs. the theory of evolution
Air, water, land, mind, body and soul pollution
Kids steppin on land mines from wars we're all losin
We're chasin false idols, erasing from our bibles the golden rule
the youth are becoming more suicidal
Who teaches them, you and I do
No wonder they want to fight you
Raised by hypocrites, you feel lied to.

Hook:
Graffiti the land with skyscrapers
Graffiti the sky with airplanes and satellites
Graffiti the minds of children with your man-made laws
Graffiti the world, I saw the writing on the wall

We've got ABC, NBC, MTV, TNT, the BBC, DVD, VHS, DSL, A and E, XTC, mp3, FCC, THC, NRA, GOP??.. ADD
The fight for free speech, lack of responsibility
Thieves in positions of power
Internet pornography
Guns in the home for fear that the next knock at the door could be death
The terrorists are in the White House and oversees
Racists, separatists, vicious militias
The Buddhists, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Christians
Could it be our biggest barrier is language
Or is oil that important that one would inflict anguish
So cars can deplete the ozone on highways
That stretch across the land where Indians once raised families
We're in denial, the world is afraid
And you say there's no more slaves

We're addicted to planes, trains and automobiles
We're addicted to addiction
We dig livin in fiction
For money, power, respect, the Army's got to go kill
They're under contract so let the blood spill
Sorta morbid ain't it this picture that I just painted
It's an epiphany I had
I realized just how tainted our thinking really is
While in New York when I saw a teenager being arrested for taggin a f**kin wall.

A gastric remix?

Thank you for clarifying. (I still think my version make more sense though)...

CLEAR!

[ZZZZT] beep... beep... beep...

There, alive. Ahem.

Listening to the Carbon Based Lifeforms, I was surprised to hear that:

The race horse can as long as thirty kilometers.

This is one of my favorite things in the world, sir! Double plus 10!

When I worked for the book industry, I once got a written order for:

Lame As A Rob.

(This was before the musical...)

Springsteen's "10th Avenue Freeze-Out" comes across like "Dead Devil in the freezer!"

Up here in Canada, a band called The Philosopher Kings had a hit with "Hurts To Love You" - many thought one of the verses went "like watching Soul Train with my Ben-Gay on", when it was really "with Marvin Gaye on"

EHG - Jackass In The Will Of God, It is just impossible to grab even a couple of words Mike Williams spits out on this classic and just gets more unfathomable the harder one tries to decipher them. Not that I at all mean it as a challenge but rather if someone gets them, Please let me know!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klInHoZD8tA

and then this one always makes me LOL for some reason (along with a few others of a similar ridiculous nature). Probably because my younger Sister & my brother-in-law are totally devout "maggots" (She's 29, He's 34 FFS!) maybe helps make it even more tickling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibNsBAxa-hQ

Theres a few good Meshuggah ones also off the top of my head (Mostly Future Breed Machine and New Millenium Cyanide Christ are the ones to look for fwiw). Great topic as I'd forgotten how amusing it is, These mad 'interpreted by or misheard lyrics' thing, Cheers
