Seal had a song called kiss from the rose on the grey-which i botched the lyrics for all the time
actual lyrics
" There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You, became the light on the dark side of me
Love remains, a drug that’s the high and not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can’t be seen?"
My Lyrics
" there used grain tower along by the sea,
You remained the light on the dark side of me
Love remains a grub that high and a thrill
But did you know that if it snows
my eyes become large
And the lights that you shine can be seen"
actual lyrics
“Baby, To me, you’re like a growing
Addiction that I can’t deny”
Mine
" Baby to me your a glowing dictionary i can’t deny"
There was this song by Snow which i really liked- I never really knew what the lyrics were, but i looked them up and they were nothing like what I had been singing- bear in mind neither make much sense
Informer by Snow lyrics
“CHORUS:
Informer you no say daddy me Snow me I’ll go blame
A licky boom boom down
Detective mon said daddy me Snow me stab someone down the lane
A licky Boom Boom Down”
My very botched lyrics
" Informer you no you wanna make me yahhh
You make me boom boom mad
Them men said Daddy snow (mumble mumble mumble"
you make me boom boom mad"
Me too! I could never understand why anyone would sing about a glowing dictionary! I saw Seal live twice, and I still didn’t figure that line out until about a year ago - VH1 closed captioning. Also, did anyone else think he was getting “kissed by a rose on the grave?”
I always thought it was
“I’m a farmer, get up at four in the mornin’ and use my hands
To milk the moo-moo cows”
And I never had a clue about half the stuff in “Kiss From A Rose.” You mean he wasn’t kissed on the grave? Where was he kissed, then? And I thought she was like a “benediction” that he can’t deny… Not that the song makes much more sense to me with the actual lyrics than the ones in my head.
From Destiny’s Child “Survivor” album - Nasty Girl
“These guys don’t want no Happy meal who’s been around the block female”
(Apparently supposed to be “These guys don’t want no hot female who’s been around the block female”. Go figure.)
Another vote for “She’s so pop-u-lar”
Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose” - I pretty much can’t figure anything out in that song, so I just sing it phonetically. (And I thought it was “a kiss from a rose on the grain”. Which makes as much sense as a kiss from a rose on the grey.)
Mrs. Tsotset though that Springsteen was saying: Tent devil in the freezer (Fifth ave. freeze out) – She has never adequetly explained what the heck that was supposed to mean.
Here’s one of my many from when I was a teenager just discovering music:
U2: *I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For *
“I believe in the king of kong
Then take a horse and lead it to water
leeeeeaaad it to water,
yes i’m still runnin’”
My innocent 12yo just today came up with another one, singing along to “Smack my picture” (as opposed to the more correct but rather unappealing "Smack my bitch up.)
Ok, you know the song “Eternal Flame” (it’s been covered by Atomic Kitten and Human Nature, but this one was from the 80’s by someone else)
When I was about 4 I thought it was “Spray my name… the sun shines through the rain…”
I seriously imagined the girl graffitting a building at that point!
And I, too, thought it was “take my picture” rather than something rather explicit about smacking people up. And I’m 15. It was only until I saw it associated with the beating up scene in Charlie’s Angels that it clicked!
I’m so naive!
And while we’re on the subject of innocence, there is LITTLE funnier than a 5 year old singing
“I’m a beach, I’m a lover…”
A friend of mine was convinced for years that **Billy Idol’s ** “Eyes Without A Face” was “how’s about a date?”. What made this even funnier was the fact that she knew the title of the song was “Eyes Without A Face” yet she insisted that the date line was correct.
