The alternative lyrics game

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Very clever.

I know it's not quite the same but for "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel we always used to sing:

We didn't start the fire,
It was a bunch of bastards
With a box of matches...

As Jasper Carrott pointed out, Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Friend of mine use to replace 'Girls on Film' with 'Balls on Chin'.
Funny thing is it works better :roll:

Not quite the same again but as a kid I used to hear "this is the voice of the crap in your hands" instead of "this is the Floorshow for clapping your hands." :oops:

On that note, I used to think the line in The Smiths' "Bigmouth Strikes Again" where he sings "Sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head" was in fact "Sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to mash a beetroot in your hair"

I really thought the Sisters were my kinda band when I heard them sing "Our destination... to the bar!"

Turned out the lyrics were quite something else.

But kept on loving their choons anyway :)
