misunderstood Stevie lyrics! :)

[sorcerer999]

When I was a kid, I ALWAYS misunderstood some of the things she was singing. I went for years singing the wrong words, such as...

STOP DRAGGIN' MY HEART AROUND
"I said, 'Gail! Well, what am I supposed to do?' I didn't know what I was gettin' into..." (I just assumed Gail was a good friend of Stevie's)

STAND BACK
"Do not turn away my friend...black widow, I can bend!"

TALK TO ME
"Well I showed you all my GODS now isn't that enough?"

RHIANNON
do do do, do do do do..."Leannaaaaaaaaa..."

EDGE OF 17
"Just like the one we love, sings a song sounds like she's SAYIN'..."

ROOMS ON FIRE
"...it seemed to be the only thing that's drivin' the light..."

My best friend Chris recently told me he went for many years thinking she was singing...

DREAMS (this one's naughty)
"...when the rain washes, you cream your load..."

SORCERER
"Little woman on a star stream...in the middle of a snow drift..."

And finally, when SYW came out, my neice was 9 years old and would sing along...

GOODBYE BABY (this one's my favorite)
"I hope your heart's not broken, don't forget me...yes, I was out smokin'..."

What about you guys? Any funny things that you'd sing thinking it was the real lyric?

[Troddew]

my cousin used to think that the words in Stop Dragging My Heart Around were
"so you had a little gerbil and it drowned"

[mikebise]

Every time I heard "Rooms On Fire" on the radio in May 1989 (before The Other Side Of The Mirror was released~ with lyrics included), I was positive Stevie was singing:

"Long nights of wine cloud my memory..."

In 1976, I thought the chorus of "Rhiannon" went:

"Ee--YEAH--uhhh...
Ee--YEAH--uhh..."

I still sing this on "Blue Lamp"~

"And the light that shines
Through the shiny night
Is a lamp that I carried
From my mother's arms..."

[deribish]

I STILL sing along to ALICE with these words (that i swear she was singing when i first heard the cassette single in 1989): "some carry a stiletto in their car door, along with everything else that they carry."

hey... it makes sense. except Stevie doesnt drive.

[mikebise]

In the 1994 Street Angel tour book, Stevie talks about driving around the desert in her Jeep! :)

Not to mention Stevie behind the wheel in the video for "The Blonde In The Blue T-Bird"!!! :thumbsup:

[SuiteShangriLa]

i dont really have any that i can think of. im usually too obsessed with knowing/reading the correct lyrics til they are embedded into my brain.

a friend of mine (non Stevie fan) was in the car with me once when i was listening to the BD cd and thought she said in After The Glitter Fades:
Even though the linen is sometimes laced with lice...its alright:lol:

[CTDee]

My son when he was in Kindergarten, was getting a ride home from school, and he told me when he came home that he heard that stevie nicks song " Just like the wide window" (EO17) LOL

[markolas]

I keep running into people who think she's singing "Just like the one-winged dove," which doesn't even make any sense. Some misheard lyrics are understandable, but others are so off-the-wall that it's obvious the person has a hearing problem.

:laugh:

well stevie has never been the best at annuciation in her singing

[mitzo]

I also thought it was "one-winged dove"

And that line in "Sisters of the Moon" sure sounded like "many black widow spiders and that ham and cheese"

[SNicksed]

Gypsy:

"She is down, safe, away from you now..." :laugh:

[beccamorrisfift]

My sister sings, to this day: 'its a bit of golden brain.'

:laugh:

[vivfox]

In SOTM she sings: black robes trailing and a friend of mine thought she said black rose tray lamp.

[vivfox]

My all time favorite blunder came from a Ledgie. In Fireflies they thought Stevie was saying, "Everyone stays close to the fireplace.":laugh:

[UndoingTheLaces]

my cousin used to think that the words in Stop Dragging My Heart Around were
"so you had a little gerbil and it drowned"

Ha ha ha!!! That's really funny. It reminds me of the Mad TV skits where this woman played a crazy little girl named Dot. She was on Oprah once talking about how she forgot to feed her sister's hamster so it ate it's own foot and then she tried to baptize the hamster babies but they drowned.

When Edge first came out I used to think she was saying "just like a one window" which makes absolutely no sense.

[APerfectLie]

Paper Doll:
"Well I have forgotten you and your beautiful LIES"

If Anyone Falls:
"Seen many things today, I've never seen anything like you."

Rooms On Fire:
"it seemed to be the only thing thats DIED in the light."

In Your Dreams
"I'm always in and out of your LIFE"

I Can't Wait
"Go home to your cobwebs and think of your fire baby!" (I am still convinced she says this since nobody has a consistent clue as to what she is saying!)

Oh there are tons more, but I have to go back to work now.

[equeen102289]

If Anyone Falls:
"Seen many things today, I've never seen anything like you."



Is this not what she says? :laugh:

If You Ever Did Believe:
"You've left me now and it sees in my soul"

Secret Love: (I think everyone and their mom misunderstood this one)
"My secretly love secretly dies"

Straight Back:
"What can I say this time, what chord shall I play?"

[APerfectLie]

Is this not what she says? :laugh:

She apparently says "Seen anything today... never seen anything like you" which makes no goddamn sense, but whatever. :rolleyes:

What about you guys? Any funny things that you'd sing thinking it was the real lyric?

God! Your interpretations made my day :) As a citizen of non-English speaking country I have to admit that often I was singing her songs in more a Suahili language, adding some bits of my native language. I can't even write it down here... there are no such words in this universe :) But you'd just laugh hearing me singing them!

[Nickingham]

Gypsy
"She was just a witch. She was just a witch"

Rooms On Fire
"She dreamed of a wanted luxury"

Gold Dust Woman
"A Thousand lovers pick their prey"

Dreams
"In the stillness of a memory"
and
"When suddenly who wants to wrap around your dreams" Like in the form of a question.lol

[Nickingham]

Paper Doll:

Rooms On Fire:
"it seemed to be the only thing thats DIED in the light."

I still think that's what she says.lol
To me, I thought she was referring to the passion and love and what little of both were left in a relationship.So eventually; "it seemed to be the only thing thats DIED in the light." Because the 3 lyrics before that makes me think of this:
A guy whom she loves does not trust her completely.(ie: "Somewhere out in the back of your mind")So then he doubts her and thinks she's doing stuff behind his back, or has a hidden agenda, which isn't true.(ie:"Comes your real life and the life that you know") This leads to "It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things" (ie:accusations)

[mylittledemon]

STAND BACK
"Do not turn away my friend...black widow, I can bend!"


I used to think it was "black or yellow, I can bend!" :confused:

[PolishStevieFan]

I remember when I first heard "Edge of Seventeen" (and to be honest it was a time when I was not that great in English... not that I am today :)) I heard "just like a white window sings the song, along she's singing". Imagine singing window people :)

[jellyman10]

I laughed so much at this thread I really hurt my hangover

[sorcerer999]

Oh, I almost forgot! When I heard Stevie's voice on the radio for the first time it was with Loggins on "Whenever I Call You Friend", and I thought they were singing...

"Sweet love burnin' on a Saturday night!"

[bombaysaffires]

"I Can't Wait
"Go home to your cobwebs and think of your fire baby!" (I am still convinced she says this since nobody has a consistent clue as to what she is saying!)"

I'm gonna need some help with this one... where in the song do you hear this?:confused:

[APerfectLie]

"I Can't Wait

Its near the end of the song! Here is a clip of just that part. It seems everyone hears something different :shrug:

[bombaysaffires]

ahh... thanks APerfectLie. Agree this is pretty indecipherable..

What I hear: "something...the time when you make up your mind...something..." :)

[darklinensuit]

Gypsy
"She was just a witch. She was just a witch"


Yes, that's how I heard it back in the day.
But judging from the following list, my hearing isn't all that great.:shrug:

“Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” – Dust head hail, well, what am I supposed to do?

“Fireflies” – What called the feared song to those in the night

“Battle of the Dragon” – Have you been with friends, oh, ignore them all

“Bella Donna” – And the woman may be Zorastra!

“Storms” – Every knife that goes between I feel a little less

“Blue Lamp” – And the guardian of your child does not cry

“Seven Wonders” – I’ll make a path back, I’ll never live to see the beauty, the beauty, that dancing beauty again

“Straight Back” – Which chord shall I play

“Straight Back” – And a song begins to begin like a woman on the run

“Straight Back” – I was in, I was up, waiting for you


- Jake

[bombaysaffires]

"“Blue Lamp” – And the guardian of your child does not cry"

ha! I thought these were the words originally too!

[darklinensuit]

Cool. Now tell me you also hear Zorastra in "Bella Donna".
I imagine she's the kid sister of Sandy Stewart or Elisecia Wright. :lol:

- Jake

[Aussie W/Heart]

Oh, I almost forgot! When I heard Stevie's voice on the radio for the first time it was with Loggins on "Whenever I Call You Friend", and I thought they were singing...

"Sweet love burnin' on a Saturday night!"

That's what i thought she was singing too!!:shrug:
So what are the correct lyric's then?? lol

[bombaysaffires]

Cool. Now tell me you also hear Zorastra in "Bella Donna".
I imagine she's the kid sister of Sandy Stewart or Elisecia Wright. :lol:

- Jake

Sorry, you're just gonna have to own that one yourself..... :lol:

[Aussie W/Heart]

Cool. Now tell me you also hear Zorastra in "Bella Donna".
I imagine she's the kid sister of Sandy Stewart or Elisecia Wright. :lol:

- Jake

Which verse are you referring to? you've got me curious now..

[sorcerer999]

That's what i thought she was singing too!!:shrug:
So what are the correct lyric's then?? lol

"Sweet love glowin' on us every night."

[darklinensuit]

Which verse are you referring to? you've got me curious now..

Clear as a bell (through the night) where she's supposed to be singing "And the woman may be awestruck...":lol:
Yup, Zorastra.
I'd post a Youtube link of it but I don't think that's permitted.


- Jake

[cliffdweller]

In 1976, I thought the chorus of "Rhiannon" went:

"Ee--YEAH--uhhh...
Ee--YEAH--uhh..."



When I was a kid I used to think it was "Heeeeeey man" :laugh:

Glad Stevie's a better songwriter than that ;)

[PolishStevieFan]

And what is she singing after each chours in "Seven Wonders"...? Because to me it's always sounded like "I'll never live to match the beauty Okay!... the rainbow's end ... hello, hello!" Or maybe it's "heaven, heaven"... I don't know!

[cliffdweller]

“Seven Wonders” – I’ll make a path back, I’ll never live to see the beauty, the beauty, that dancing beauty again

“Straight Back” – Which chord shall I play

“Straight Back” – And a song begins to begin like a woman on the run

“Straight Back” – I was in, I was up, waiting for you


- Jake


Funny thing is, these actually work!

[holidayroad]

For many years I thought she was saying "I've been standing down the hall" instead of "Up the stairs and down the hall" in EO17.

[vivfox]

In Fireflies where she says: Long distance winners where we survived the flight I thought she was saying, Come Mr. Squinered

[UndoingTheLaces]

And what is she singing after each chours in "Seven Wonders"...? Because to me it's always sounded like "I'll never live to match the beauty Okay!... the rainbow's end ... hello, hello!" Or maybe it's "heaven, heaven"... I don't know!

There was a huge discussion here a while back and I think someone confirmed through a quite from one of her backup singers that she's singing the name "Sara" during those little instrumental breaks.

[vivfox]

I hear Tara and that is how I will always sing it.

[WildHearted]

Pretty sure it's "Aaron.."

Wasn't that the original title of the song, or something of that nature?

Also, up until reading this thread, I thought it was "Which chord shall I play.." in Straight Back. Lmao.

[Nickingham]

“Straight Back” – Which chord shall I play

- Jake

That's what I heard too.

[Nickingham]

She sings "I'll never live to match the beau-ty a-gain."
And she sings "Sara" in between.I thought she was singing "Tara".lol

Edit: She might be singing Tara,actually. This has been debated before.

[WildHearted]

I thought it was Aaron?

[PenguinHead]

ahh... thanks APerfectLie. Agree this is pretty indecipherable..

What I hear: "something...the time when you make up your mind...something..." :)

It's more like...I hope in time, will you make up your mind.
The only cobwebs are in the ears of some listeners. I just can't image how you can arrive at such words. It's very funny, though.

[PenguinHead]

[QUOTE=APerfectLie;1027278]Paper Doll:
"Well I have forgotten you and your beautiful LIES"

/QUOTE]


Is it not Lies? I was always convinced it was. It makes for a better lyric.

[Bm7th]

One More Big Time Rock & Roll Star:

I always thought she sang when it rains it pours, cause no one ever told him

also

I thought she sang delicate wine

and

the work gets rough

[PolishStevieFan]

She sings "I'll never live to match the beau-ty a-gain."
And she sings "Sara" in between.I thought she was singing "Tara".lol

Edit: She might be singing Tara,actually. This has been debated before.

Oh, so it's Sara! I wouldn't recognize it :)

[sorcerer999]

I thought of another one. I also used to sing...

"Is love so fragile...in the hearts of all our own..." :D

[Aussie W/Heart]

In Rhiannon where she sings Dreams unwind, loves a state of mind, i always thought she sang Dreams and WINE, is just a state of mind.. lol

[PenguinHead]

In SOTM she sings: black robes trailing and a friend of mine thought she said black rose tray lamp.

:laugh:

I just happen to have a black rose tray lamp! I keep it upstairs and down the hall.

[rhiannondontgo]

My mom always sang "Is it all that hard, is it all that tough, Well i've showed you.. Oh my God!, now isn't that enough?" in Talk To Me. Until I told her the actual lyric and pointed out that what she was singing made zero sense.
And she always thought it was "I went forth with an angel, and the desire to please" in Edge. And she sang "liars go through the fog" in Angel.
I also heard "She was just a witch" in Gypsy when I was little.
My little brothers still sing "Stop Draggin' My Cart Around", whatever that means. :shrug: and they used to think she was saying "Take from me my legs", in Leather & Lace, which I can actually hear when I listen for it. Poor paraplegic Stevie! lol

[holidayroad]

I also heard "She was just a witch" in Gypsy when I was little.


I thought that was the lyric for quite awhile, too!

[cliffdweller]

In Your Dreams
"I'm always in and out of your LIFE"



Yes! I thought this for the longest time until I finally read the lyrics!

[GypsySorcerer]

Ditto on the "which chord shall I play?" and "I'm always in and out of your life."

As a kid, I'd always sing "See love flowing on a Saturday night."

[vivfox]

:laugh:I just happen to have a black rose tray lamp! I keep it upstairs and down the hall.


But your apt. only has one floor.

[jmn3]

LOL, until just now I always thought it was "which chord shall I play'....when I was a little kid I always thought Edge was "just like the one winger," whatever the heck that is.

And the one that might be my worst misheard lyric EVER was Reconsider Me. When I was a teenager, that song used to get played at the grocery store I worked at all the time. The internet wasn't the most easily accessible and searchable place that it is now back in 1997, and I remember posting to the FM usenet group a song which I thought sounded like the Mac but didn't know the name or much about it...and the lyrics were something like "Free Godzilla please, free Godzilla!" I caused quite a few laughs with that one... :D

[SummerlongBoots]

OMG I will probably regret posting this. :nod:

It's not so much "misheard" because I know they lyrics, but my brain "inserts" words and I cannot control it, lol. Like in Sisters Of The Moon;

And so I followed
As friends often do

SWALLOWED! :sorry:

WHY must my brain insert swallowed?

Sigh. :o

[Macfanforever]

Has anybody here try to play a Stevie tune backwards.

[WildHearted]

Has anybody here try to play a Stevie tune backwards.

I'm a bit frightened by the thought.

[Macfanforever]

I'm a bit frightened by the thought.

Hahaha.Dont do it with vinyl .You will ruin it.There is software that will do that.I tryed it .Its funny.LOL.

[vivfox]

Why don't you record one for us and upload it here?

[Macfanforever]

Why don't you record one for us and upload it here?

I was thinking of that myself.Pick a tune.from a live show.I don't want to do a commercial recording.

Gold Dust Woman Cotton Bowl 1978

[StreetAngel86]

she was just a witch

and i'm always in and out of your life

make much more sense to me and what i always heard/still hear :D

[jrpjr]

She sings "I'll never live to match the beau-ty a-gain."
And she sings "Sara" in between.I thought she was singing "Tara".lol

Edit: She might be singing Tara,actually. This has been debated before.


Actually its "Aaron"..."Seven Wonders" was originally called "Aaron" written by Sandy Stewart...i KNO conformation of this is on this the ledge somewhere because i thought it also said "Tara" until i read this...i think it makes it very interesting

[sorcerer999]

Another misheard lyric my niece would sing from "Imperial Hotel"...

"Well you can get her, but you can't keep her...and you can't catch her farts..."

[pryderi]

Seven Wonders "Well, you are a sorry butt"

[In Your Dreams]

Sometimes it's a Bitch - I laid down with dogs and I woke up with lice.

:laugh::laugh: ahahaha! Oh man...these are some good ones. They made me laugh so hard I almost spit out my coffee!

[Nickingham]

Three more that I got confused:

SDMHA
What I heard "Make an innocent bright-eyed kid"
I thought it was just a random line that was put in there because it didn't go anywhere. Then I thought I was mishearing the word "make" and that maybe it was "like" which made more sense combined with the lines before and after it; "Ain't got nothing better to do. Like an innocent bright-eyed kid, You need someone looking after you!"

What she says "Than make a meal of some bright-eyed kid"

IDWK
What I heard "I don't wanna know the reasons why I love yOOooouu right on walkin on down the line"

Instead of "I don't wanna know the reasons why love keeps right on walkin on down the line"

Outside The Rain
What I heard " Love is a word that some entertain and, if you find it, you better ruUUuun and GET IT!"

Instead of " Love is a word that some entertain, if you find it, you have won the game"

[singertobe]

When I was a kid, I ALWAYS misunderstood some of the things she was singing. I went for years singing the wrong words, such as...

STOP DRAGGIN' MY HEART AROUND
"I said, 'Gail! Well, what am I supposed to do?' I didn't know what I was gettin' into..." (I just assumed Gail was a good friend of Stevie's)

STAND BACK
"Do not turn away my friend...black widow, I can bend!"

TALK TO ME
"Well I showed you all my GODS now isn't that enough?"

RHIANNON
do do do, do do do do..."Leannaaaaaaaaa..."

EDGE OF 17
"Just like the one we love, sings a song sounds like she's SAYIN'..."

ROOMS ON FIRE
"...it seemed to be the only thing that's drivin' the light..."

My best friend Chris recently told me he went for many years thinking she was singing...

DREAMS (this one's naughty)
"...when the rain washes, you cream your load..."

SORCERER
"Little woman on a star stream...in the middle of a snow drift..."

And finally, when SYW came out, my neice was 9 years old and would sing along...

GOODBYE BABY (this one's my favorite)
"I hope your heart's not broken, don't forget me...yes, I was out smokin'..."

What about you guys? Any funny things that you'd sing thinking it was the real lyric?

My name is Leanna. My mom used to change the song to Leanna and sing it to me as a lullaby and so I thought the same that's what she was really saying :laugh:

[singertobe]

Leather & Lace
Give to me your reference, take from me my name

Silver Springs
I'm trying to cast a spell on you but you are not ready

Beautiful Child
Sweet blessed child

Highway Man
A dream begun and why?

Edge of Seventeen
Just like the one-winged dove

Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
Makin me of some bright eyed kid

Dreams
When the rain wool sheds you clean you'll know

Storms
Stay close. I've got all the friends in the world. Stay close.

I misheard lyrics so badly as a child it ridiculous. And just for bonus, the funniest misheard lyric I've ever heard was actually from Destiny's Child "Independent Women." I thought they were saying "Throw your hands on batman." I was really confused by that.

I've been subjecting my 5 year old nephew to "The Dealer" this past week. This morning, I walked by his playroom and tried to stifle a laugh as I heard him singing to himself...

If you listen to Hole's version of Gold Dust Woman, I'm pretty sure that Courtney Love sings, "one less challenge, pick your path and I'll pray." You can be the judge. It's at :34 in the song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngmhjiR3QOo

I don't like her music, and I don't like this cover. What is up with the way she pronounces "woman" and "challenge"? ;)

[PenguinHead]

In Your Dreams.

Misheard: I'm always in and out of your life

Actual: I'm always in and out of your light

[Nickingham]

To me it sounds like "Don't (something) your time. Make up your mind now baby

To me, it sounds like she's saying "Don't hold my time when (or while) you make up your mind now baby"

[Nickingham]

I too heard "Which chord shall I play" on Straight Back.

And for a couple of years, I sang the "words of a poet and a voice of a choir" switched around to "voice of a poet and the words of a choir" I don't know why but I used to get confused on those and it totally works! :laugh:

[gypsyhelena]

In Insider with Tom Petty, I always hear the lyric 'I'm an insider, I been burned by the fire' as 'I'm an insider, I been burned by the fryers' and it brings to mind images of Tom and Stevie in KFC uniforms working the hot oil...

[Bandon]

In Your Dreams.

Misheard: I'm always in and out of your life

Me too. I still think they have the same meaning as a metaphor :nod:

[michelej1]

Me too. I still think they have the same meaning as a metaphor :nod:

But I think "light" can serve as "spotlight" as well. I agree it means "life" too, but considering her profession, I think "light" can cover being on stage.

I think what she says is "no,no time while you make up your mind baby",like she REALLY can't wait and she has NO TIME to just sit around and wait for him to make up his mind:angel::shrug:

In Seven Wonders I always thought Stevie was saying Pharaoh rather than Sarah and to this day I still sing it that way.

More gems from my 6 year old nephew tonight...singing "Belle Fleur"...

Actually its "Aaron"..."Seven Wonders" was originally called "Aaron" written by Sandy Stewart...i KNO conformation of this is on this the ledge somewhere because i thought it also said "Tara" until i read this...i think it makes it very interesting

That's kind of bizarre. I mean, "Aaron" out of the blue? What the hell? (Not that "Sara" or "Tara" would make any more sense....)

I guess I can get that the protagonist in the lyric is singing to "Aaron" (lines like "you touched by hand, I played it cool" and such)....but I think Aaron should be mentioned in the verse or chorus for it to make sense and not just in the bridge.

For years I thought the lyrics to Gypsy were "So I'm back to the velvet, mud on the ground". To this day I still think that's what it really sounds like :lol:
