All New Misheard Lyrics

[CaptainMalfisk]

About how soon is now, I thought he sang
"of a chinese that is criminally vulgar".
This one is probably pretty common.

 

[Mozzer's Left Eyebrow]

I think it's in Never Will Marry, the line about inbuilt guilt - I always thought from the ages of 13-32 that it was 'and if Bill's gills catches up with you' even though it makes no sense at all.

I think it's in Never Will Marry, the line about inbuilt guilt - I always thought from the ages of 13-32 that it was 'and if Bill's gills catches up with you' even though it makes no sense at all.

That's a good one.

 

[brutalityobscene]

This Charming Man:
"A jumped-up country boy'

Same with me hah

I mentioned it in another thread, but I originally thought the full lyric was
"Punctured bicycle
on a hillside desolate
You've met your maker, man of the year

Edited for idiocy*

 

[EPbabe]

I'm envying you never having to chew...

 

[SW6withme]

Maybe posted before but in "late night..." I thought at first that he sang "me without clothes, well AN ASIAN turns his back and gags".

 

[Jane Doe]

this is not a misheard morrissey lyric, but i'll share it anyway.. It's from Perfect Day by Lou Reed...
original lyric:
You're going to reap just what you sow

i heard:
You're going to Rio, just watch your soul

i sort of prefer my misheard lyric

Mine's not a Morrissey lyric either, but a Seal lyric. In "Prayer for the Dying" he says "hold on, say yes, while people say no", but I thought it was "corndogs say yes".

 

[Jane Doe]

"And now I know how Joan of Arc felt"
was heard as
"And now I know hos Jonah Rock felt"
by both me and my ex. I'm happy as long as he didn't feel like Jonah Falcon.

Oh, I thought it was "how Johnny Marr felt".

 

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

In 'Tomorrow' when he sings "Through my shiftless body" I at first few listens was convinced he was singing "Oh, my shitfaced brother".

 

[lottie]

I was just looking at the lyrics to "Certain People I Know"

The correct line is:

"They'd sacrifice all
of their principles for
anything cashable
I do believe it's terrible"

For all these years I thought it was

"anything casual"

me too!
and im disappointed now..

 

[Raphael Lambach]

I have never thought that someone could sing just like you were singing.

It's very very very funny.

Who would've thought Moz sang about people of Asian descent so much?!

give me a restauranteur
give me a cigarette

What's a restauranteur?

 

[mywar]

and zorro's native son, he will not smile for anyone.

 

[mywar]

[Kewpie]

and zorro's native son, he will not smile for anyone.

I love it!

Today we should sing so-low's native son

 

[mywar]

i was sure someone would have thought of the zorro one already. i even did a search...

 

[Billtwasreallynowt]

'Living - the meaning of crime, you will leave me behind'

instead of vivid and in your prime

 

[Sidewayssurprise]

In "This Charming Man", I heard "punch a bicycle", also. But I also misheard "on a hillside, desolate". So what i thought it was, "Punch a bicycle, on a hillside, that's an order."

 

[melv]

I always thought that Suedehead's "It was a good lay" really was "It was a give-away"...

 

[IDon'tOweYouAnything23]

"He couldn't get over your Grandma's odour"
