Misheard Lyrics?

[Simply Ordinary]

Yes, I'm sure we've all foolishly mistaken a lyric in one of Vanessa's songs before actually looking it up and feeling really stupid afterwards. Here are some of mine:

White Houses:

Little bungalow with some strange new friends

Pretty Baby:

Can you hold me and never let go / When you touch me is it me that you want

She Floats:

God knows secrets though I'm told

I'm sure there are a lot more; I suck at listening to lyrics. What about the rest of you guys?

well i used to sing : sneak into his cars cracked leather seat. for white houses...but i guess its black leather seat...

In Ordinary Day, the line "Time will not flee". I always thought it was "Time will not freeze"

[PianoGirl4444]

well i used to sing : sneak into his cars cracked leather seat. for white houses...but i guess its black leather seat...

It's "cracked".  I just looked at the album art.   :wink:

[KULPDOGG]

well, some of the lyrics on nessaholics.com are still incorrect.


for example, the correct line in She Floats is "Got no secrets, though I'm told..."

When my brother first heard White Houses he thought Vanessa was saying, "WHITE POWER!" instead of "White Houses."

When I first heard 'San Francisco', I thought she said "I always like Steinbeck and those old men wrestling"  :?

[Twilight_Angel]

in white houses i thought she said this little bugger...something.  :lol: i never figured it out til i listened the 10th time or so  :lol:

I always thought the line in Who's to Say was "Do your trick, turn on the stars of Jupiter" and that always struck me as wtf. Plus I always heard the line "We need to grow / well speed's the key" as "We need to grow to speak the key". I just assumed they were "abstract".

Also, I always heard the line in Private Radio as "On a whim I'll leave this town", but every lyrics site out there said "If I don't win I'll leave this town", and that sounded stupid to me. And then I checked the liner notes and saw that I had been right the entire time. Woo.
