In dog years, I always thought he sand "people look too serious".

After reading the lyrics I now know it's "people look to Sirius".

I always sign it correctly now!!!    biggrin.gif

I think this was an intentional double entendre on Neil's part.

"... Like the wind of inside" In Fly by Night. Im still convinced thats what he says...

 

"It's got wires that vibrate, Hanging music" On 2112.

 

And on Tom Sawyer, before I read the lyrics, I thought I was mis-hearing him when he said "Catch the spit", I didn't think he would say something like that, but I guess he did. doh.gif

 

I have more, but I'll have to hear them first.

One I just remembered, from the Pass

Waiting for the world to pause

of course it's Waiting for the world's applause but either one suggests a bit of arrogance on the part of the protagonist, or a huge desire for attention.

i thought it was that too, and i couldnt figure what came before that- something something out in the schoolyard... i looked u pthe lyrics and wondered, why does he say, 'Christ, what have you done?' why christ? i know its the thing you say but i think there could of been a better way to end such a powerful song. i preffer to hear it as 'just what have you done?"

 

also...

 

Lakeside park:

 

midway porker .... the i noticed the name of a TRF mamber here, midway hawker and realised my little mistake....

 

this is too damn funny, but often i find myeself replacing lyrics i cant figure otu with ones that fit in with me if u get what i mean. i dont mean to but it happens...

 

on the stars looks down, when i heard 'watch me choose my own erection' i quickly checked the booklet to make sure i had heard wrong... because that would be kinda.. weird...

I agree about the weak ending to Pass. Maybe he just used Christ as a double entendre. It may be a religious reference, but it may just be exclamation. A lot of people say Christ or Jesus or something like that when they seem something that shocks them even if they aren't religious. The rest of the song is great, it's by far my favorite off Presto. I don't know...

I didn't mishear these lyrics, but my friend did. After listening to Neurotica, he gave me the weirdest look and asked me:

 

"Alex did he say...

 

Naughty girl.

Exotic girl.

Ooh.

It's just erotic girl.

Hypnotic girl.

Ooh."

 

But of course it's:

 

Neurotica.

Exotica.

Ooh.

It's just erotica.

Hypnotica.

Ooh.

Hm, now stuff I've misheard:

 

Original

"I don't think my new resolve..." (Face Up)

 

Misheard

"Pick my nails off..."

 

 

Original

Watch his every move. Superconductor. Orchestrate illusions."

 

Misheard

"Watch his every move. Superconductor. Or his straight illusions."

 

 

Original

"I want to be king now not just one more pawn." (Fly By Night)

 

Misheard

"Son, I was King, now I just want my pawn."

 

 

Oh, my sister thought this one...

 

Original

 

"My ship isn't coming and I just cant pretend."

 

Misheard

"My sh** isn't coming and I just cant pretend."

 

 

Original

"Truth is false and logic lost."

 

Misheard

"Truth is forced and love is lost."
