Clang clang, go the jelly guitar rolls!
I blame a crappy nth generation cassette with no track listing and a passing familiarity with Jelly Roll Morton...

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Most people get the lyric to Pretty Vacant wrong.
There's no point in asking you'll get no reply
Just remember don't decide
The actual lyric is "Just steam in and don't decide".

I was listening to "The Butterfly Collector" by the Jam the other day, and I've just realized it's "just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you." For years I thought it was "bores you." I blame Weller's accent.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It was written about Soo Catwoman who Weller felt was just looking for the next punk star to cling to.Heston wrote:Guilty as charged.Marky Dread wrote:Most people get the lyric to Pretty Vacant wrong.

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Just listening to the Manic Street Preachers cover and realised the song doesn't go
"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, the semi-frontier
I'll give it to someone special"

Wow. At least two decades of getting that wrong.
Although I heard it as "just remember, I don't decide."

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Athough I qouted the lyric as written by Matlock correctly. I think John sings "Just steam in but don't decide" and he sings the "Just steam in but" as if it's one long word "Juststeaminbut" which makes it sound very much like "Just remeber"....you see what I did there didn't you.Wolter wrote:Marky Dread wrote:Most people get the lyric to Pretty Vacant wrong.

The Pogues song, USA ,I thought it started out ...
When I was young
I washed the cars
instead of the real lyric... I watched the cars
