Stryder1978 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Back in the day when I was in a band, we used to do "Immigrant Song" and I used to sing: "We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hard winds blow". I never realized till I joined this site that it was supposed to be "hot springs flow"! At least my made up lyrics still made sense for the song.

in_the_evening Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well before we had lyric sites you kind of had to guess, or play and rewind and play about five hundred times on your tape recorder to get an idea of what they were saying. To this day, I still sing In The Evening as: In the evening When the baby is done I'm for looking for a woman Oh, my churl won't go. So don't lay-ay Before you do You want sme freedom baby Someday I'll post the whole mess, lol! I remember RS's review, and they said something like "as usual the best song is the one you can understand the fewest lyrics, and all I can make out is 'oohing I need zoo love'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Historian Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 In Black Dog studio version I always hear "Gonna tell the french she's gonna be a star" It's friends right? Yes, your right. The reason it appears to sound this way is because of the "delay" on the vocals. This effect can sometimes alter a word or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckless Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 In Achilles Last Stand I always thought Robert said 'and pisses on the ground', especially in the live knebworth performance. It's actually 'in pieces on the ground' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
