This is a thread to post any times that you've been listening to a Rush song, and you hear something that sounds different from what the lyrics say.

 

I'll start:

 

The Big Money - Power Windows:

Original:

"Big Money goes around the world. Big Money take a cruise."

 

Misheard:

"Big Money goes around the world. Big Money Ted Cruz"

The Weapon:

He's a little bit afraid of dying

But he's a lot more afraid of Your Lion :hi:

 

Limelight:

Living in the Fish Islands

Best I Can (misheard)

 

Got to eat sh*t to rock, a hate for small talk

I'm funny that way

 

Best I Can (actual)

 

Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk

I'm funny that way

Working Man:

"Log it up, seven, yay!

and Ill go to work at nine..."

 

and later towards the end:

"Well they call me the working maid..."

 

I had heard it as "Lock it up, seven, yay!"

My first Rush record was All The World's A Stage, about 40 years ago (gah) and without access to the Internet or lyric sheets, I couldn't really make out what the words being sung were a lot of the time.

 

From Something For Nothing I remember hearing a line "you won't get wise, with the sweetest of inurii", despite having no idea what inurii might be. Also "Wonders in the Wirral" from Anthem of course. Oh yes and when I got my hands on a copy of Fly By Night, I remember hearing "I'll just give it a try, with my guitar strapped me-by" in Best I Can.

Oh yes and from Finding My Way,

 

"Who's still alive? I'm coming out to get you"

 

and

 

"I've been on parole, and life's killing me yeah"

 

Actually having just listened to the ATWAS version again, it still sounds more like that than the supposed actual lyrics.
