When I was in 7th or 8th grade, "Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins was a popular song on the radio. Near the end of the song there was a passage I had difficulty figuring out the lyrics too - eventually I decided they went like this:
You play your fiddle
Well I could get it in an hour
I'll play your fiddle
For an hour
It was a few years later that I discovered, while looking at the liner notes for the album it's on, how the lyrics actually went:
You blame yourself
For what you can't ignore
You blame yourself
For wanting more
Practically the same, right? Right.
