Misheard lyrics

[Shadow]

Not enough syllables for the melody, so Bruce had to come up with one somewhere.

Steve forgot the magic word: Being at the wrong place/Just at the wrong time would have worked.

 

[Gk1]

Well I can't help but hearing to WRITE the storm to a kingdom that will come ...etc...etc

 

[Ranko]

Hmm... I always heard that as And at the wrong time...

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Hmm... I always heard that as And at the wrong time...

Same here. "Being at the wrong place and at the wrong time"

I think that's the right lyrics.

 

[Black Bart]

Same here. "Being at the wrong place and at the wrong time"

I think that's the right lyrics.

I am going to check the leaflet (1998 reedition)... but it is in the car so it will have to wait! Listening to it, you might be right... unfortunately, it would make the song worse (the shoe-horn of the Beast has striked again! )

 

[The Nomad]

"Ancient Babylon, and souped up treasures he found."

Haha nice, I hear it like this myself:


"Ancient Mariner, and souped up treasures he found."

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Same here. "Being at the wrong place and at the wrong time"

I think that's the right lyrics.

It's such a complex song. Hard to get it right.

 

[BloodOnTheBassistsHands]

In "The Angel and the Gambler" I used to hear one of the verses as:

"There's like a hooker that knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it, still you want more"

In actuality it's "hunger", not "hooker", but I think my version might be more entertaining.

 

[terrell39]

You just shattered my universe!

I thought it was bitches too until the Killers CD was rereleased with the lyrics.

 

[Ranko]

"Assad he has to go, he knows it, soon it later" - from TOAC.

 

[Deanatron]

Here are a couple from my teenage years:

"She fell in love with his squeezy machine" - From Here to Eternity.

"We must prepare ourselves for the elephants" - Lord Of The Flies.

 

[Black Bart]

Here are a couple from my teenage years:

"She fell in love with his squeezy machine" - From Here to Eternity.

Yes, that must be a song about Apu and his Squishee machine!

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Not Maiden, but I was playing some Alice Cooper the other day, and thought I heard "no more Mr. Night Sky".

 

[Black Bart]

If you heard strange lyrics in "Dance of Death" on the last night of the 2004 tour...well, that's normal!

 

[Check the Declination!]

Am I the only one who's heard "Seven bloody popes"?

Yes! I was reading this thread for a half hour (very entertaining) waiting for someone to admit this! I would've been embarrassed to admit it otherwise!

 

[Check the Declination!]

A lucky escape for union man

 

[Perun]

Ironic that this would come from the iron maiden.

 

[Black Bart]

A lucky escape for union man

"Moonchild" was Jimmy Hoffa all along!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Ironic that this would come from the iron maiden.

Many unions has been byuuried in history.

 

[Forostar]

Conjure the Death Star again
