I remembered one of my misheard lyrics today:

 

At the beginning of "X&Y" I understood

 

Trying hard to speak and

Fighting with my weekend

 

instead of

 

Trying hard to speak and

Fighting with my weak hand

 

:laugh3:

 

Oh, I used to think that to o :P

This thread came back just in time. Last night I was listening to the LeftRightLeftRightLeft version of Glass of Water and heard "Cling to the mast! Spend your whole life living, in your pants!"

 

Freudian slip? :blush:

 

lol.......... can i spend that life with you living in your pants ?......

Bats :/

 

Me too! :P I could've sworn it was bats, then it was on karaoke and it was birds and I was like what?! I thought it was bats :embarassed:

Voilet Hill: i thought it was

I don't want to be a solider

or the captain of some stinking ship of stones.:laugh3:

^Omg that one so works!!!

My mum thought Strawberry Swing was a type of drink :P.

For the longest time I thought the violet hill lyric "my nerves are poles, that unfroze" was "my love's opposed, but unfolds." :embarassed:

there were a few other older ones i remember getting wrong when i was younger, but they slip my mind at the moment. the violet hill one is the only one i can think of right now.

 

 

You know what? I actually thought that was the lyric too!

 

You're not alone :P

^Omg that one so works!!!

My mum thought Strawberry Swing was a type of drink :P.

 

a drink ..... lol

 

Fix you(this one is retarded _) :laugh3:

 

i promise you i will learn from what I have to take...........

 

now its so obvious i don't know what i was thinking...

Cemeteries of London:

 

"Save the naptime for your weekend."

 

I knew it wasn't that originally, but my brother sang it like that once and now it's all I hear whenever I listen to that song! >.<

Yellow:

 

"Your skin, your yellow skin unfolds, turning..." :laugh3:

Instead of "oh yeah, your skin and bones"

oh and i always thought death and all his friends said let's get "merry". until i found out it was married.

Oh, I'm so ashamed of this one :blush:

 

I heard: "Come back and hump me"

instead of: "Come back and hold me"

in Fix You.

Yellow:

 

"Your skin, your yellow skin unfolds, turning..." :laugh3:

what the hell :laugh3:

 

 

 

I have many mishead lyrics also. like from the Speed of Sound

.."All that whines and all that sounds.."

.."Infest go flying at the speed of sound..."

When I first heard the song "Low" I didn't know the name of the song. For a solid year I thought at the end he was saying "And I feel light! Alllll right!" instead of "I feel low. Oh no". Then I bought the album and saw the track name and I was like...crap.

 

And I still have no idea what the correct line is but in Speed of Sound it sounds like he says something about "A pig-pen in China all layed up".

In Violet Hill, I thought that it was "my love's like toast that unfolds" instead of "a love back home it unfolds".

Haha I kept thinking, why is his love like toast? And why did he fold it in the first place?!

Wait...in Violet Hill is it the FOG became God or the FOX became God? I can't tell and I've seen it on lyric sites as both! I don't know why, but I misinterpret that song sooo much!

I always thought it was "Sit, stay calm" in Yes.

 

My favorite misheard lyric is "I don't wanna be a soldier, or a crapper of some stinking shit that snows... far below..." in Violet Hill.

 

Ewww....

Clocks: oh I beg I beg and plead

 

'Oh Rebecca,bacon please'

 

:lol:by the way this was not me!^

Viva La Vida:

"Be my mirror, my sword and shield" was "Vive La Vida, my sword and shield."

"Seas would rise when I gave the word" was 'Caesar'd rise when I gave the word."

 

Cemeteries of London:

"Save the nighttime for your weeping" was "Save the nighttime for your Wii Pen."

"We'll go down to the river where Victorian ghosts pray" was "We'll go down to the river where victorious books stray."
