These are the real lyrics
Posted by Austin on 21 May 2010 - 8:29pm.
My supermarket played Robbie Williams' "Strong" and I reverted to the real words to the song, that exist in my head.
"Youuu think that I'm shite
You're right, you're right"
I'm not talking about misheard lyrics, I am talking about ones that you have made up yourself, correcting the original.

Whitney Houston. I want to dance, etc..
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to go get myself laid
Oh Carol...
I am but a fool.
Darling, I love you though you treat me cruel.
You hurt me, and you made me cry.
But if you leave me, I'll poke you in the eye.
Gordon Brown, texture like sun
David Gates - Baby I'm A Want You
"Your loving and affection
Gives me an erection"
What Becomes of the Broken Hearted
In my head, the subsequent line sung by Jimmy Ruffin has always been "Paid a penny and only farted." What else could it be?
Go on, try it yourself. It fits like a glove:
two
Air Supply:
I'm all out of love
You get what you pay for
Peaches and Herb:
Reunited and it feels so good
Got a fuel injected engine sitting under my hood
Ricky Martin.. Livin' La Vida Loca..
Her lips are devil red
Her skin the colour of mocha
She will wear you out
You know that you want to poke her
I know this is going to sound silly...
... but when I was 7 years old I would always sing along to Cat Stevens' Matthew & Son when it came on the radio. When it got to the bit where it goes "he's been working all day, all day, all day..." I would add "he's been working all day in the potting shed." Even now, 43 years later, whenever I hear that song, I insert that bit. Daft, I know.
Oh yeah, there's also...
... Chris Montez's Let's Dance, which goes:
Hey baby won't you take a chance?
Put your hands down my underpants
And let's dance, well let's dance
Graceland Paul Simon
As if I'd never noticed,
The way she brushed her hair and farted.
Hole In My Shoe
"...and the dew on the grass
Has sunk through my arse"
I like to think neil's version makes it explicit that he has thought of the same couplet.
Not mine, but the Shirehorses'
Can't hear Supergrass' Alright without singing along:
"We are old, We are cheap,
Take our teeth out when we sleep
Got no friends, Bad Eyesight
Feel like shite."
I can name a few more than that..
Pretty much all of The Shirehorses songs I know better than the originals.
I had a girlfriend
who threatened to dump me if I didn't stop singing every time the line came up
"I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these shitty walls"
'
Might lose a bit in print, but...
A very funny friend of mine used to perform a cockney version of Julian Lennon's "Much Too Late For Goodbyes" :
"Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been mucking about
Now I know how it feels for you
I'm still mucking about
But it's much too late
For mucking about"
Delivered as a variety tune with a Tommy Steele smile and the odd wink, there is no funnier thing.
Kate Bush - one for religious potholers
Used to happily sing:
"If only I could, I'd make a deal with God
And get in to small, hard places"
Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill
Oh!
I've always thought those WERE the real lyrics... are they not?... that's what I've always sung too...
