I love SUZANNA VEGA and her soft voice, but can't always hear all her words right. I got her CD out before I learned the real lyrics. For a week I thought the song 'MARLENE ON THE WALL' went like THIS:
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing
My LEMON on the wall.
I never understood that she was saying 'Marlene'..(I'dnever heard such a name before), so my brain came up with 'lemon'.... try'na make sense of it.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that putting lemon juice in yours eyes could lighten them.Anon
- I used to think the song "love the one you're with" was called "love the one, your win. — Glowworm
- When I was 5, I thought cats were spawned from moss, since moss was so soft. Made sense to me.Anon
- When I was little - before we learned cursive - my sister and I called it 'real writing'. — Monty
- I had a little hole in the wall under my bed when I was little and I thought that Fraggles lived in there.....— Tina
- I always hear Manic Street Preachers 'You Love Us' as 'You Love Arse'.— Lou
