Misheard lyrics that are better

RW12 [Edit] [Delete] 04:48, 16 May '07

Everyone does it, like I first thought Radiohead were singing "from a greyhound" at the end of Paranoid Android but that's totally shit.

These ones are better.

The Streets - Stay Positive. Depressing and dark track, and for years literally, I thought the kiss off to the following verse was "blame this tape" which I thought was very clever. I was rather disappointed when I found out the truth. I still think mine is better.

"Carry on through the estate, stare at the geezers so they know you aint lightweight/And go see your mates
And when they don't look happy/Play them this tape"

Catch - Bingo. Odd one this. These lyrics are quite charming but I thought the last line there was "And the pretty ladies compliments your flaws" which is definitely better. The real one doesn't even make much sense.

"I go to public school/They never taught me anything I need to learn/But someone told me where to find out/Out where the lights are red/And the pretty ladies call from their shop floors"
