speaking of lyrics....one time i was at a karaoke bar, and somebody sang Me and Mrs. Jones...and at the beginning, he said this was his favorite song, and asked the crowd if they knew what the song was about with a smile? but nobody knew and he wouldn't say. anybody know?
ima, Come to your dreaming, When you're alone Not what you're sure, be or what you've become Just getting moving on with, digging your ditch This is the part that sounds most like what you posted, although there are also many parts where he does sing run to your dreaming. Here is the whole song. Looking back on this, I think whoever grabbed these lyrics was on crack, here are the lyrics from the official site.
I just listened to it. I hear "Unplug the TV, turn off your phone". Edit: Or it could be what SM posted...though I hear "Not what you should be".
Do it, you won't regret it. I have that book and along with some of the Natl. Lampoon books, it is damned funny.
Hey thanks. This is too funny: Genesis - Invisible Touch The real lyrics were: She seems to have an invisible touch. But I misheard them as: She sees the hat, I'm busy don't touch it! lol
A buddy of mine from work was singing this at a softball game: "Carry a laser down the road that I must travel. Carry a laser through the darkness in the night" I had to tell him that Mister Mister was saying Kirie Elei Son (or how ever you spell that).
oh, and nobody can understand anything that Stevie Nicks sings. And I can only understand every fifth word in "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.
Here is one for you DMB fans: The real lyrics were: Sweet like candy to my soul. Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll. But I misheard them as: Sweet like candy to my soul. Sweet Chewbacca, sweet Han Solo.
Thanks, Bob! Now, you are a true master if you can tell me what the lyrics are to "Informer" by Snow!

Yup. It's in my iTunes player. I always liked Til Tuesday and I still have her first solo CD, I'm With Stupid, around here somewhere.
I don't know why, but when I heard that stupid chick song there she goes, there she goes again... racing through my brain... and I just can't contain it I thought it was "and I just masturbated" the first time.
What does the Chicago lyric "25 or 6 to 4" mean? Lamm says: "The song is about writing a song. It's not mystical," he says. Take a look at some of the lyrics: Waiting for the break of day--He's been up all night and now it's getting close to sunrise. Searching for something to say--Trying to think of song lyrics. Flashing lights against the sky--Perhaps stars or the traditional flashing neon hotel sign. Giving up I close my eyes--He's exhausted and his eyes hurt from being open too long, so he closes them. Staring blindly into space--This expression can be seen often on the faces of writers and reporters. Trust me. Getting up to splash my face--Something you do when you're trying to stay awake, though a good cup of Starbuck's does wonders for Cecil and me. Wanting just to stay awake, wondering how much I can take--How far can he push himself to get the song done? Should I try to do some more?--This is the line that makes many think it's a drug song. But it is just as easily construed as a frustrated writer wondering if he should try to do some more lyrics/songwriting. As for the curious title, Lamm says, "It's just a reference to the time of day"--as in "waiting for the break of day" at 25 or (2)6 minutes to 4 a.m. (3:35 or 3:34 a.m.) http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/m25or6to4.html
Too-Ray-aye! Truly one of the all-time greats. I saw on pollstar that they're touring. LOL. Do they just play that song over and over? "Poor old Johnny Ray..." "You are far too young and clever..." "At this moment, you mean everything..." "...take off everything..." That's about all I know.
A few comments: Does anyone remember that Manchester band EMF's one-hit wonder " Unbelievable'? They say f*ck all throughtout that song, in the chorus even. When they say ..'you're unbelievable!' and then there's a music surge, there's a miced out voice barely heard in the background, and it's saying " What the f*ck?" over and over... And I was once told that, contrary to popular belief, the duchie in pass the duchie was a sandwhich. It was little kids singing, no? Ok...as far as misunderstanding, one of my previous roommates was notorious for this. Among the many things she has sung, at the top of her voice, and later admitted to getting wrong are: " And if you go carrying pictures of German cows..." from the Beatles Revolution. " Caribou Queen" by Billy Ocean. etc. But my best experience with regards to unknown lyrics was one summer years back, when the Big Empty had just been released ( STP) and a bunch of my friends and I were camping for the long weekend...there were about 30 of us, both sexes, and around the fire one night one of my friends backed his car up near the fire and was playing his radio, and that song came on. It was really big at the time, and we all knew and loved it, but none of us knew the lyrics, so without any co-ordination or premeditation, we were all belting the song out along with the radio, but from all of us at once it went " Time to take her....ya...eeaug yah yah da da.ya da da da! TIME to ya .." etc. And none of us lost any volume for want of knowledge...we were all smashed, but it was so funny that people in adjoingin campsites cracked up and came over to join in...
