[michelle2677]

planets of the universe
correct: the earth and the sea and the sky, is at rest with the ocean
michelle: is impressed with the ocean

whatever.

Thanks God, mystery solved.

My dad thought she was saying "sand bags" in Stand Back on the radio when I was little.

For years I thought that "well I've showed you all my cards" from TTM was "Well I've showed you, oh my God, well isn't that enough"

Someone posted that they (or someone they knew) thought "pick up the pieces" from GDW was "pick up the pizzas." I still laugh about that one.

That is so true about TTM.

the one I have so burned into my head is from After the Glitter Fades.....

I have so many misheard Stevie lyrics and the funny part is that I'll just sing whatever I think I hear even if it makes absolutely no sense or isn't even a word. She's not the easiest person to understand when she's singing. I'm sure I sing something wrong in every song. At least I'm better than I used to be since I look them up now when I don't understand. Here are a few:

-"she was just a witch" instead of "she was just a wish"

-"magic moment" instead of "ivory morning" (pretty much all of The Nightmare my lyrics are completely off)

-"pick up the pieces and grow old" instead of "pick up the pieces and go home"

-"she dances around on the boulevard" instead of "she dances around in a circle"

-"still I get this feeling" instead of "still I carry this feeling" (same with L&L, half the stuff I think she is saying makes no sense whatsoever).

-"I am my own mind" instead of "I have my own life"

-"My eye-make-up is dark and it's killing" instead of "My eye-make-up is dark and it's careless"

-"long clouds of white" instead of "long nets of white"

-"all the way that I do anytime" instead of "All the way down to Emmiline"

-"Your shinin' on an ocean crashing" instead of "Your shinin' autumn ocean crashing"

-"I would try" instead of "I would cry"

-"and they said" instead of "undoing the laces"

-"when the rainbow sheds you clean you'll know" instead of "when the rain washes you clean you'll know"

-"and it's still that subtle memory" instead of "in the stillness of remembering"

-"just like the one winged dove" instead of "just like the white winged dove"

-"it's been a gold and braid" instead of "it's a bit of gold and braid"

-"There's no pain and there's no sound" instead of "There's no pain and there's no doubt"

-"second place, second time" instead of "certain place, certain time" actually a lot of Seven Wonders is unintelligible.

-I can't being to tell you what I hear instead of "A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect"

-"to a room with sun laced and paper flowers" instead of "to a room with some lace and paper flowers"

-"my love lives in a world of both pleasure and pain" instead of "my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain"

-"Special knowledge holds truth best beleive it" instead of "Special knowledge holds truth bears believing"

-"Sounded good on a ???? card one more big time rock and roll star" instead of "Sounded good on a delicate white-ribbon card one more big time rock and roll star"

-The entire song Rock a Little is one big mumble.

I could seriously go on forever with these...

Stevie is the Queen of misheard lyrics!

I just thought of another one which is nutso because it's from one of my alltime favorites:

"I never doubted...your beauty....unchanged..." instead of "I've changed" but in my defense this was before I had ever heard a live version. And I was thinking of the real beauty and the beast and how she never doubted his beauty while he was still the beast...unchanged. *sigh*

Oh yeah, I can see where you got that from ... no ... no, wait I can't. Where did that come in?!

-The entire song Rock a Little is one big mumble.

well, I was playing a few of the demos, which are especially rife with mis-hearings. When the disc got to Castaway, a gal in the room made an odd face as if straining to hear the lyric. the lady asked me why someone might be singing "cast-a-rate"? It seemed that it was an odd song topic and what's with the extra "a" added in? I just told her that the extra "A" sylable just made it more lyrical and it fit the rythm better. I deliberately ommitted the info that the lyric wasn't "cast-a-rate".





ps....darn I need a spellcheck
