Just in case you havnt seen this here....this is what happens when you dont realise youve misheard the lyrics.
Same here, except it was "my linen", as in "I'm not talkin' about going to bed with you". Same here! Same here! But I finally figured out that didn't rhyme correctly.
Instead of: Forever in blue Jeans I thought he said: For reverend blue jeans. A priest in blue jeans...
Here's another one from 'Sweet Home Alabama'. 'In Birmingham they love the gun now. Now we've all seen what it can do. A woman's gaze does not bother me. Does your conscious bother you? Tell the truth'. I figured the narrator was involved in a murder/cover-up and he was paranoid the he'd been seen by someone and/or he might let slip what he'd done.
Yeah, I thought the same thing for years: On another related note, the song "Groovin' (on a Sunday Afternoon)" by the Young Rascals was a stumper for me for awhile:
One time I did hear someone singing the wrong lyrics to AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N Roll)":
"The Green Green Grass of Home" by Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Porter Wagoner, many others: "There's a guard, and there's a sad old padre..." As a kid I heard: "There's a guard, and there's a saddle padre..." I thought it was like a preacher in a Western or something.
Help is On It’s Way Hang on, everything’s okay I’ll be there as fast as I can Hang on, tiny voices say Somewhere deep inside the inner man I just learned that the last line isn’t Somewhere deep inside me is a man
"Inside the inner man" seems redundant, not that redundancy is not present in many songs... in fact, some songs are a redundancy of the silence.
