U2 lyrics you sing wrong - Page 9

For the longest time, I had no idea what was being said in 'Wild Honey.' Bono sings, what is soul? Love me, give me soul. For the longest time I was like

I found a video of u2 misheard lyrics, search for it on youtube, but must aren't very good except for:

(Bonos high singing at the end of one) 'bacon and ham'
(can we rewind it just once more?) Can we rewind and just watch porn...

EDIT: apologies for double post. I didn't bother reading through the entire nine pages ;-)

I thought the line "bossy boots" was "saucy boots".

I used to think it was hard, but that doesn't seem to make any sense. 'Hot' it is, for me. Just a bit cornier.

I used to sing "And the feeling when I am INSIDE her, Desi-i-i-i-er" and I thought this is not U2, they wouldn't sing this....haha

But, I still like it more than the original ;-)

He sings "inside" when playing the song in concert.

My dad has a habit of ruining song lyrics for me. In "Walk On", where it goes "And if your glass heart should crack..." he says "Glass eye." So now whenever I hear that song, I sing "glass eye"...and that includes when I heard it live!

I find it almost impossible to hear the original lyrics now.

Oh and Silver and Gold...something about a "dark spider" or a "glass spider".

My posse's fine instead of "my pulse is fine" in Breathe.

Stand Up Comedy: "Up from under your ass" instead of "Out from under your beds"

The Ground Beneath Her Feet: "Let me bring you to roast, to roast beef" instead of "Let me lead you to where two roads meet" (yeah, I knew I was wrong. -_-)

I heard "dressed up like a cockroach" for the longest time until I FINALLY thought, "Okay that CAN'T be right," and looked it up. . . And er. . . Yes. Car crashes and cockroaches AREN'T synonymous, it turns out.

No of course not, Bono is totally asexual.
