I am guessing I am not the only one who sticks on a new CD and doesn't read the lyrics straight away.

Have you ever got any of Dave's wrong?

One which I got badly wrong is from the wonderful Debauchery.

I thought he was singing, 'Drunken fatty bald woman' instead of 'Drunken ferry boat woman' lol.

I kinda' like my version though and still sing it sometimes

Thats hilarious MyCariad, yes i've got the lyrics wrong many of times but not as funny as yours, i will post when i remember any.

I had to have a listen, whenever i listen to that song in future it will remind me of you,lol

I'm sat here giggling to myself.

Quality

Where there's a will, there's a way

Yes, that's a good one MyCariad

It took me ages to find out that on 'The One I Love' David isn't singing ' Tell the reborn man' but 'Tell the repo man'. Thinking that that particular bit kept me puzzled for ages because it would not fit into David's way of thinking and writing at all and all that was behind it was me getting the lyrics wrong... Lol. It still makes me smile whenever I hear that line.

Hi, Ok, Here are a couple that Cindy and I know better but notice how they sound. In "Wisdom" the first time he sings the chorus it sounds like "TIME MONKEY"!!! Cindy and I crack up all the time and will sing it that way. Ofcoarse, as I stated in my other thread he must be singing about an elephant at the end of "It's All Over" We picture having a chance to hang around with him and say: "Hey David" "Yes?" "Will you sing the one about the Monkey?" "....Um...What?" "Yeah, You know the one we mean....TIME MONKEY!!....WISDOM MONKEY!!" "Whoa...Wait a minute...That's Time No Good...Wisdom No Good." "Are You sure?" "Pretty Sure. I wrote it." "Then why do you sing PATIENCE MONKEY?" "I don't sing PATIENCE MONKEY! It's NO GOOD." "We disagree. We think it's very good...even if your singing about a Monkey.." "I'M NOT SINGING ABOUT A MONKEY!!!!" "Well no, not now. Now your just YELLING about the Monkey. OK, how about singing the one about the Elephant?" "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Well you get the idea:) I'll right as soon as I think of the others. Mac

Lol, it is quite funny when I think of it, which I didn't realise before now, me and Roy just sing it sometimes as if it's normal. It's nice that Debauchery will remind you of me Elysium .... I think lol. Just please don't picture me as the 'fatty bald woman'

Lmao about her rolling down her tights on the rug. It makes me smile when I picture her swaying on her seat (with a pint in her hand), then sailing over to him. What on earth would she look like sailing over to him with a pint in her hand, carrying a few too many pounds and a bald head. And of course she drinks her wine from a mug, what else, classic!!

p.s. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, my apologies if it does x

Ok, Here's one I remembered: In Kangaroo I thought the line was "You could barrow a Kangaroo". I still think it works:) Mac

These are really funny!  Here's mine - From World To Me, I thought he was saying 'Babe I said I'd give my right arm.....everyday I'd have to sign on'!  I now know better!

let go your heart let go your head, failing now.

 

good times.

Ok, Here's another one: Cindy thought the line from "4:am" that goes "And a Half Empty Bottle of Baby Oil" was "a Half Empty Bottle of Beer Y'all" :) Mac

Roy thought and insisted, 'a bucket full of Babylon' was 'a pocket full of Babylon'. He reckoned Dave was saying that he had made a fortune out of the wonderful Babylon, which I'm quite sure he has, but it took me ages to convince him he was wrong, which he wasn't happy about lol. Aah, these proud Yorkshire men
