shaun3701 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 QUOTE (realomind @ Oct 6 2010, 05:20 AM) "we've been smoking Lebanon" In Driven I thought Geddy was singing: "Driven to the edge of a guitar chord" When really it's: "Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole" when T4E first came out my little kid brother (now grown up) thought the line in Driven was "driven to the edge of OUR BEANS ARE COLD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I always though Earthshine was Peartshine And this is what I thought I heard On certain tunes That Geddy croons And the lyrics are pretentious A proclivity For creativity That's overly inventious Peartshine Prose imperious I wince sometimes when I hear Peartshine Peartshine Overly eloquent Who's he trying to impress with Peartshine By itself Sitting on the shelf I see my 8th grade science book Take a quick peruse For some lyrical cues Scientific gobbledygook Peartshine Look how smart I am Sneering at the masses Peartshine High IQ I'm much smarter than you I'm such an adept word adapter It's no accident That I'm president Of the local Mensa chapter Peartshine I'm beyond your reach At least these words aren't Pye's, it's Peartshine ( I actually got this off some website)...Stating they were...."Poking a bit of fun at Rush drummer/lyricist Neil Peart for his sometimes pretentious lyrics."

GeddysMullet Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 QUOTE (KW84 @ Oct 5 2010, 11:26 PM) The battle flags are flown at the feet of a GARDEN GNOME. That is SO what I thought the lyric was until I looked it up just now. I even thought it made sense! So battle flags are NOT flown at the feed of a garden gnome? That changes my perception of the universe almost as much as did finding out that the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx don't operate computers as they fill the hallowed halls, or that the brilliant red barchetta didn't come from a better managed time!

Babycat Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 QUOTE (RASH 2112 @ Oct 5 2010, 11:45 PM) I've always misheard some lyrics in "A Passage to Bangkok" Breathing smoke in Lebanon We burn the midnight oil The Trade Winds of Afghanistan (yes, Trade Winds) Actual lyric: Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon We burn the midnight oil The fragrance of Afghanistan I always heard the line "we've been smoking in lebanon..."

jkt2112 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 QUOTE (Presto_a RUSH fan_06-08-90 @ Oct 5 2010, 11:01 PM) An ex friend of mine always thought that Natural Science had the following line: "The most endangered species, BEYOND THIS BAND" It was such a great feeling to tell him it really is: "The most endangered species, THE HONEST MAN" My mis-quote has always been in Subdivisions (and I think it should be!!!jk) "Any escape might help to PROVE The unattractive truth" real lyric: "Any escape might help to SMOOTH The unattractive truth" Must be why he's an ex-friend!!!

GeddyRulz Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Wrong: Sometimes The men talk tough The men talk hearts The men talk something else. Correct: Tough times Demand tough talk Demand tough hearts Demand tough songs, demand. Wrong: Sometimes we all know the way. Correct: Sometimes the odd number wins.

What kind of person has a pet lion? My cousin had a cougar for several years. It had it's fangs but was de-clawed. Playing with that beautiful animal was the only thing that could get me to enter that litter box of a trailer he lived in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 when I first heard the FBN version of Beneath Between Behind, I didn't understand a single word of the verses. NOT A SINGLE WORD to me it sounded like: "plastic dreams come true attacking subcanue the greatest mimes forever glowing" instead of 'fantastic dreams..." etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
