Listening to the Cars’ “Bye, Bye, Love,” I keep hearing ‘fucking alibi;’ of course, when I go to lyrics.com, I read ‘broken lullaby’ so, next time, I hear ‘broken lullaby’.
My reasons for thinking ‘fucking alibi’:
- lyrics.com is generally made up stuff by people who don’t know what the song is saying.
- It fits the overall theme of the song
- IIRC, I saw a video of the Cars on Youtube, and it seemed that they said ‘jerking alibi/lullaby’ which would serve for a replacement for ‘f-ing alibi/lullaby.’ ‘Jerking’ would be a stupid replacement for ‘broken.’
Can anyone help on this one?
Thanks,
