Misheard lyrics

I thought it was Sailors of the sky, a half-breed, while in fact it is a hardened breed. I thought they were a half-breed because they were loyal to both the king and the airship creed. :p
 
Listen to Shadows of the Valley, in particular 1:29-1:30.

What Bruce is singing doesn't seem to me to match the lyric "Playing a tune to the old man's laugh"

I hear "playing a tune to the old mental math"

What do you hear?
 
In some live versions: "your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your pants" ("Phantom of the Opera") :nana:
 
Hear the Rime of the ancient mariner
seize highs it stops what a free
mesmerize is a word of the win again
stay here and listen to the nightmares out the sea


This is what I hear when I listen to it.

Before the days of the internet when it was impossible to just look up lyrics, and they were absent from the cassette sleeve, I remember singing the line from TNOTB "a reflection of my walkman staring back at me" (or 'warped mind' as it should be - an old favourite 'misheard' line). What lines have you guys misheard from Maiden (or others)?

yep, same for me as well :)
 
Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take his bait,
Don't you stay
DONT PLAY IT AWAY

(I swear Bruce actually says that in Live after Death)

Also, from Wrathchild,

My mother was a Queen,
ABANDONED THE SCENE
I was never meant to be here
 
Not misheard lyrics as such, but rather mispronounced ones on Bruce's part:
"Being at the wrong place, at the ve-rong time" ("The Fugitive", Fear of the Dark):wtf:
