An angular mass of new yoghurts.

 

Sprawling on the fringes of the settee.

 

I have held the whiskered tails of immorality

 

There are also some tracks where I 'predicted' the wrong rhyme upon first hearing the song, and now I just can't forget my 'improved' version:

 

Sunlight dances through the leaves

Soft winds stir the sighing trees

Lying in the warm grass

Feel the sun upon your ass

 

I can do, what you do

You just do it better

I can cry, like you cry

It just makes me wetter

 

:D

Before I read the lyrics I've always wondered what "8 million Red Barchetta" means.

and

Look at the sig of Your_Lion and the lyrics of The Weapon will never be the same.

 

And I don't even know if I had a guess as to what the lyrics for "gleaming alloy air car" were before reading them.

 

I also thought it was "a better managed time", not "a better vanished time".

The one that comes most quickly to mind for me (though given more time I could probably come up with others) is...

 

in 2112...

"their power grows with purple straw..."

 

It sounds even more like that on Different Stages. Listen to the DS version and try to tell me he's not saying "purple straw"!

 

My girlfriend discovered one when we were on vacation listening to my IPod on shuffle mode in the car..."The Garden" came on, and I usually skip over a lot of Rush songs because she can only take so much of them...but TG is one of my favorites, so I let it play. It gets to the chorus and she goes "it sounds like they're saying 'the measure of a knife...'." So from then on, on the studio version, I only hear 'knife.' I only hear 'life' on the live versions.

Lemony cake of course...

 

And also:

 

Jacob's Ladder: "The clowns prepare for battle..."

 

No One At The Bridge: "The sky is bitching, violently..."

 

Best I Can: "Gotta eat shit to rock, I hate no small talk, I'll find a way!"

 

Fly By Night: "My chickens are coming and I just can't pretend..."

I thought it was 'a better mannish time.' :LOL:

 

Tires spitting gravel like a midway weekly crime!

Oh, here's another one I always had trouble with. Instead of

 

"By-Tor, knight of darkness,

Centurion of evil, devil's prince"

 

I always heard:

 

"By-Tor, knight of darkness,

Centurion of evil, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!"

For everyone who misheard/hears the Bastille Day lyric as "lemony cake":

 

I actually do have a lemony cake recipe. It is lemon layer cake, with lemon curd between the layers, and lemon frosting. I call it Bastille Day Cake. I make it for the office on occasion and of course the engineering staff gets the reference IMMEDIATELY.

I'm in for lemony cake. I even sing that sometimes when we play it.

 

:blush:

Is that from Oracle or Discovery? ...... :LOL:

I propose that from this day forth, every July the 14th Rush fans meet and eat lemony cake to celebrate our love for the band. Please share any lemony cake recipes you have. :D

I don't have the Bastille Day Cake recipe right at hand at the moment (it's downstairs and I'm currently too lazy to retrieve), but I promise to post. It sounds like lemon overload, but it's really not.

From New World Man:

 

 

He's a radio receiver

Tuned to factories and farms

He's a writer and a ranger

And a young boy very hard

 

 

That's what I hear. :|

 

Never had trouble with the last line there, but the second to last is actually "He's a writer, an arranger". I myself didn't know that until a year or two ago. I always heard it as "a rider and a ranger".
