Misheard Lyrics, mine are.

Message in a Bottle- Broke my Nose instead of Wrote my Note.

Voices - Voices Inside my Head, Records things that you say. (hmmm should be echoes. How do you get records inside your head.)

Sounds like something Andy would try (one train later, sticking a cadburys wrapper in his ear.)

Check out the inner sleeve of the Japanese import of Zenyatta for some truly funny lyrics.

Example?

[Dallas]

Message in a bottle.

The line: A year has passed since I wrote my note

Until recently, I always thought he said, "A year has passed inside my note"

Which I always thought was a weird lyric, but who am I to tell Sting how to write songs.

Now that I know what he is really saying...... it makes more sense.

For our French friends... when Sting sings Hungry for You... how is his French accent? Does he speak French well?

[GinaSuperCat]

Hah, Olivier...those are super good ones )

Heh I always think the chorus of Hungry for You made the song more like Friends...I don't really know how the idioms compare though!

Instead of double post, I'll edit add: Ok I'm listening to Outlandos right now and I jsut remembered that I thought it was "In this desert that I call my soul" in So Lonely for the longest time...although that doesn't make a whole lot of sense (but then again I've never been hung-up on sensicality either )

[Divemistress of the Dark]

Um...it's *not* "in this desert I call my soul"?

Ho golly. Am I confused.

Mmm, Sting has a nice english accent when he sings "Hungry For You"... I'm not talking about his french accent which is funny sometimes....
He sings "ravage" (ravidge) in a perfect english, but the french word is "ravagé" and he should've pronounce "va" like the beginning of "vanish" for example, and "gé" like J ("djay" without the "d")...
In the chorus: "mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons" instead of "mais nous ne pouvous faire ce que nous voulons". I always find this funny !

Dallas did you really think Sting sang "A year has passed inside my note"??

Dude you need some help - either a hearing specialist or a psychiatrist!!

No s**t it make smore sense!! Lmao.

A friend of mine's:
"Walking on Two, All I wanna do's be next to you"

"You want something Gordy? You got it!"

[GinaSuperCat]

Heh I still think I hear desert too sometimes...because I thought that for a long time...actually its "theatre" (Stingo: a quick 'thee/ah-tah') and in thinking of the context, it makes much more sense...I didn't even second-think why a desert would have seats but, then again, I like Dali and theater of the absurd...but dammit I thought I was the only one who heard this! giggles And I must have heard this song a meeelion times...funny what you sometimes fill in...

Just take a seat, they're always free
No surprise, No mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role!

I heard Walking on the Moon this morning (MIAB, daily LOL) and dammit if I didn't think of p'u de culottes! hahah

PS: Animal do you have to even ask "How do you get records inside your head" heheh...I do that all the time...autosoundtrack, even in order, when I am away from my music!

Someone's signature on TPT is "You want something corny? You got it!"

Also, when we just started dating, my husband mistook "how my poor heart aches" in EBYT for "I'm a pool hall ace." He kept insisting he was right, we made a bet and he lost, of course.
