This is sort of an odd question for everyone...

Are there any songs out there that the lyrics (written down) say ONE thing...but when you listen to it, if you didnt know better you would be absolutely convinced that they are singing something ELSE!

For example...the one that has ALWAYS done this to me is the ending of "One tree Hill".

at the very end the lyrics are....

"Oh great ocean....oh great "sea".

but to me when you listen to it, it TOTALLY sounds like he's adding an L to the end of sea, making it "seal".

does anyone else think this or am i just crazy? haha I know there's a few other songs that are like this but i can't think of any at the moment.

peace!

now I'm not sure if U2 put lyrics on the inserts with the CDs, but with U218 they did. Are there lyrics in any of the JT albums?

If those are the correct lyrics, then you're got a case of misheard lyrics. This can be put in the misheard lyrics thing though,

what they said

"At first sight it's beautiful, innocent, even a naive city. There's shop window prostitution and it's the European centre for the drugs market. It's like one of the songs on Boy called An Cat Dubh which describes the cat as a symbol of temptation. At first beautiful, the shape, you know, seductive. In the daylight it destroys a birdnest. Amsterdam is like that." - Bono on Amsterdam, 1982

did you know

Although instrumental, the song '4th Of July' was recorded on the 4th of July, it is about how they felt that day. The Edge was playing the guitar, completely unaware that Brian Eno (one of the producers) was recording it.
