| OK, lets face it,
you've all done it at one time or another: listened to a
song for years thinking you know the lyrics, until....
and from that day on the song has a whole new meaning.
After getting a few variations and stories about misheard
lyrics from songs by The Frames, I though it would be
good to share them with everyone. I'm sure the people who
misheard them don't think I should do this to save their
embarassment, but what the hell, sure its all a bit of
craic. So here we go... oh, and isn't it strange how a
lot have a certain kind of overtone!!! Please don't be offended at any of
my comments, I'm just trying (very badly) to add a bit of
humour to the site! |
| Song:
Mighty Sword Guilty Party: eileen, Grahamsie and cwrenn there's a line in Mighty Sword that goes "that cuts through bone and lays the liars down". I personally thought it was "-lays the lions down". Nice images of fighting lions with swords but oops, I got that one wrong. Comment: the band fondly remember their days as Gladiators in the colusseum! |
| Song:
Fitzcarraldo Guilty Party: soc for a while soc believed that a certain Mr. Fitzcarraldo 'chose the long road, that leads me out to GALWAY' Comment: Hmmmm....! |

Angel At My Table Guilty Party: karen 1st time i heard it - there's a devil on my shoulder & he's telling me she's so beautiful & I should "grope" her & hold her... (yuck!) Comment: Karen, now we all know how your mind works, scary ain't it! |
| Song:
Revelate Guilty Party: cwrenn i was convinced upto a few weeks ago that the last line of revelate was "rise in your stealth", not "redeem yourself"! don't ask me why. Guilty Party: <unknown> (can understand why) i'm too embarrassed to post my real name up but for my first few years of revelate i thought 'redeem yourself' was 'ride me yourself'..hey i was young'n'innocent in them days.. Comment: Holy shit! Personally I thought it was 'write it yourelf'. |
| Song: Red
Chord Guilty Party: Hely mine isnt funny but i always thought it was "im pulling on the red chord that pulls u back to me LOVE." why is it lord anyway?? Comment: just be glad yours made sense, not like some of the other ones here. |
| Song:
Headlong Guilty Party: soc's friend I played Headlong for a mate of mine who wasn't really a fan and then I was like isn't it great etc., she then proceeded to say 'Yea its nice but who has he got in a headlock? Whats going on there? Comment: finally, the secret's out about the bands ambition to become WWF wrestlers, and leading the charge is none other than Glen 'The Hammer' Hansard and Joe 'The Dark Destroyer' Doyle! |
| Song:
Giving Me Wings Guilty Party: AJ (and a few others I think) I thought for a few days, although I was hoping it wasn't, that the lyric in Giving Me Wings was.. 'And your giving me wings so I dont have to jump And your giving me WIND so I can carry on.' It was sort of ruining the song until I realised it was 'WILL'. Comment: There's nothing worse than finding out that the horrible side effect of someone giving you a bit of a lift is severe flatulence problems! |
