636.0. "Under false pretense!" by SHAPES::BROWNM (This is MY decade!) Fri Mar 23 1990 16:02

    A note about lyrics that weren't what the appeared to be!
    
    I had a mate who thought `Paninaro' by the Pet Shop Boys went `Flying
    arrows, ooohh"
    
    And I thought `Bullet The Blue Sky' by U2 went `And I can see those
    spider flames'.  But it was `Fighter planes'!!!!!
    
    Come on, we've all done the dork sometimes!

    What *is* sung in the blank below? (Perhaps the Springsteen version is
    clearer, I haven't heard it).
    
    	"Blinded by the light.......runner in the night"

    I couldn't believe it when I heard my sister singing:-
    
    I believe in muscles (as apose to miracles)......
    
    Perhaps, she was right ?

    Funny you should say that, I thought it was:
    
     "I believe in MILKO", for a while..

    Very often the lyric you think you hear IS actually what is being sung.
    But when you look at record lyrics or sheet music you find that its
    written down differently. Its almost as if the artist in question has
    changed a line at the actual recording after the lyrics etc have gone
    to print. I could list numerous examples of this and sometimes wonder
    whether there is some reason for it to do with copy right or something.
    It just seems to be so consistently deliberate.
    
    Anyway can anyone help with the following Fleetwood Mac lyrics...
    
    1 - Man of the World, the line that goes 'I've flown across every
    ?????'. What is that word? Tide?
    
    2 - Need Your Love So Bad, the line that goes 'Oh when the night
    begins, ??????, because I need your love so bad'. What IS that phrase?

    I often think that it is not the artist who produces the lyrics on the
    sleeve, but someone who sits and listens like we do, then writes them
    down.  I know it sounds a bit strange, but that is the impresion I get.

636.6wrong wordsSHAPES::BROWNMThis is MY decade!Thu Mar 29 1990 11:517
    For the T'Pau LP `Bridge Of Spies' the lyrics were printed up before
    the songs were finished.   Therefor you get the words to the demo.

    ps.  I thought it was `I believe in Malcolm'
636.7Sounds right.SHAPES::STREETRGlasgows Miles WetterThu Mar 29 1990 12:473
    RE .4 I think "I've flown across every TIME" seems logical.

    Can U Help? (Cor I'm like Prince already!)
    
    Malcolm Maclaren's `Something Jumpin In Your Shirt'.  I have the 12"
    and one side id ungrooved (ie. the record is one sided) and is etched
    with the title of the record and the artist.  The sleeve has a hole in
    the middle so you can see the label.  What I want to know is;  Is this
    the standard release or is it limited edition?
