Misheard lyrics

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.

1959, on first hearing, sounded like it contained the lines 'and it feels like meat again' and 'like a way big hunk of lime'.

A friend heard a line in More as 'why you've got to be surrounded, Mandy' (that being my name, I guess I was controlling her mind at the time).

That was it.

I knew it was entertainingly close to being official.

I just remebered one (I was listening to the song this morning).

In Detonation Boulevard I first thought that the line "I caught something weird in Encenada" said "I got something weird in my enchilada". :oops:

And I was round someone's house the other day and it came on the radio...
how we laughed...

Diana Ross - Chain Reaction (no.1 hit written by the Bee Gees, no less)
there's a line that goes
"Tell Eddie Waring there ain't no salvation"
except it doesn't obviously.
(it's boringly "To anywhere and there aint no salvation")

From memory Uncle Eddie had been the subject of some allegations or controversy around the time, so it almost seemed plausible, although ridiculous...

The idea of Diana Ross singing about Eddie Waring is possibly one of the funniest things ever.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

My two favourites are:

Lament - The Cure.

"And oh the smell as candles die" = "And oh the smell as camels die."

:lol:

Muscle In Plastic - Bauhaus

"I've got nothing, nothing to lose" = "like a velvet, velvet balloon."
