Digital Dad Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have misheard lyrics in Working Man, too. I used to hear: I got no time for idiots,I'm workin' all the time. :P That should be my theme song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 For Jacob's ladder I always hear: 'the clowns prepare for battle' instead of 'the clouds prepare for battle'. The image of a group of clowns preparing for battle makes me chuckle though 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The one that takes the cake for me, though, because I literally just found out about a year and a half ago what it actually is...from Jacob's Ladder: Actual: Thunderheads are rumbling in a distant overture I heard: Thunderheads are rumbling in a distant, overt shore I could never figure out how a shore could be overt. (Or, conversely, covert, for that matter). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 There's already a few threads like this. They seem to pop up every couple years I did a search and didn't see one come up, otherwise I would have just bumped the thread. Did you do the search in the "Rush" section or just in this one? I searched this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) This one is not actually what I miss heard because I do know he lyrics to the song, but it sounds like a Geddy live moment to add to the "I'm Geddy Lee and I will sing any damned way I want to" On Diferent Stages Nobody's Hero I swear when he sings the the begining of the verse But she's nobody's hero,I swear he's saying Butt Cheese!

Tuesday's Gone Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I find it strange because English isn't my first language and I can't hear what most people wrote in this thread. I think that Geddy sings really clearly and most of the time I can figure the lyrics by ear. I'm not able to do that with many other bands I listen to. I remembered another "The sky is Bitching violently" OK I admit I always heard it that way too Edited May 31, 2015 by Tuesday's Gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I really think they do this to us on purpose. The same words can sound so different by so many factors. The music, tempo and the other words that preceded or follow give our minds room to mold and shape what we want to hear.Perfect example Cygnus X-1 Book II Prelude,When our weary world was youngThe struggle of the ancients first began. Now see the word young sets up your mind to subconsiously look for a match so it is very easy to extrapolate,When our weary world was youngThat struggle of the ancients first begun. I have sung this line silently and out loud (my apologies to ever may have actually heard me sing out loud) and both fit very nicely and sound like it was the word meant to be in that slot but the correct word is of course began. There are many other examples of this type of musical word play too many to be random, impo. So to me it truely shows how much thought is put into what is produced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
