Rush lyrics you can't stop mishearing

OK, the title says it all pretty much, are there any lyrics that misheard, or even after you know the correct lyric you continue to mishear? Every time I listen to "The Body Electric" I can't help but hear this line:

 

It replays each of the days

A hundred years of routines

 

As:

 

 

It replays each of the days

A hundred years of poutine

 

(For those of you going "huh?" poutine is a French Canadian mix of french fries, cheese curds, and gravy. It is quite tasty if your eyes can ignore how it looks and your arteries can bear it.)

Following on from that,

 

Bows its head and prays to the mother of Alma Sheens.

Alma Sheens!

2112 verse 2, Discovery.......

 

See how ( I can't even begin to make up something even semi humorous for this part because truthfully I can't understand any of it) blah blah ************* Sounds that build high like a mountain or notes that fall gently like rain......... :huh: :D-13:

See how it sings like a sad heart

And joyously screams out its pain

Sounds that build high like a mountain

Or notes that fall, gently

Like rain.

 

One of my favourite lyrical passages from a Rush song :yes:

 

But to stay on topic, and to stay within the same song-suite:

 

We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx

Operate computers, fill the hallowed halls!

And the pictures that you plug into your eye!

Oh, and two from Seven Cities of Gold that I never misheard until I read about them here on TRF: (now they plague me)

 

"Wake to aching cold..." = "Wakey-wakey cold..."

 

"Wandering aimless..." = "Wandering anus..."

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.
