BombingwithBillieJoe Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 For years and years (seriously 5 or 6 years) when I was little I always thought it was "Tom grabs you by the wrist" in Time Of Your Life. Then when I was 12 or 13 and listening to it I was like "...who's Tom?". Then I looked up the lyrics and felt like an idiot. And now it sounds like "time" to me and I don't know why I thought it was "Tom", haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green day is Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I always thought in East Jesus Nowhere it was "like a dog that's beside a mine field" don't know why though lol What are those lyrics, anyway?? For me, in NGFL, I thought the chorus said "Nice Guys Finish Last, you're Running Out of Gas" for all of it, instead of just the first part until I played Rockband. And in She, I thought it was "I'm taking these just for you. And I've had many, many, many misconceptions about Minority.

green day is Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 like a dog that's been sodomized. Cool. I usually just sang "Like a duh that's beh HUH DUH NUH" Or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uva Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 In Jesus of Suburbia instead of "signs misleading to nowhere" I heard "time's misleading to nowhere") actually I know what's correct lyrics but I still sing "time's..." oh crap! It's like disaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu. Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 When I was little I used to sing "I wanna be an American Indian" Hahahaha, soo sweet I've got a problem, I always say "so made the best of this test and don't ask why", although I know perfectly it says make. It's not the big deal, but it pisses me off, cause it changes the complete sense of the sentence ¬¬ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Dog_In_Heat Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 In American Idiot, I thought The line "For that's enough to argue" was "for that''s enough to work you". I've been listening to that song for years and just recently realized it's not what I orginally thought. In Holiday, what he shouts right before the political breakdown, I thought he said "kick butt". I think another member said he says 3, 4 though.

Pres Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I used to think that in American Idiot where he says "all across the alien nation" "was all across the area and nation" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfgz Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 In Deadbeat Holiday I always understood "There's a vacant silence hanging high" instead of "...vacant sign that's..." until I asked myself what the hell this should mean. It's not the only song in which I understood/understand absolute shit. Please, Billie, go to a speech therapist and learn how to articulate.

solongfromthestars Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 When I first heard Know Your Enemy I thought he said "riding to serenity" (wtf?) when he actually says "silence is the enemy", and I made some graphics for someone with the KYE lyrics on and they said the riding to serenity thing... and in Minority when he says "one nation underdog" I thought he said "my nation is a dog". My mum thought he said something about a "fucking pervert" when he says "when masturbation's lost it's fun" in Longview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J'net Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 My son and I went out for dinner tonight. We were talking about videos and I mentioned one of my favorite Green Day vids. Then he started talking about all the ones he could remember. Somehow we got on the subject of Waiting. He said, "You know the part where the guitar goes quiet and suddenly he sings ..." and I said, "Dumbstruck, color me stupid!" My son looked at me like ... truly dumbstruck and said ... "Is that what he says? I always thought he said 'Dump truck!'" (Then we were both dumbstruck ... until we started laughing so hard we drew the attention of everyone else in the restaurant.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespertine Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 in One Of My Lies, I thought Billie said " When I was younger, I fought for the world sucking around me, but in time, I realized I was alone," instead of "when I was younger, I thought that the world circled around me, but in time, I realized I was so wrong" hahaha I knew there was something wrong.

TheSaltOfTheEarth Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 oh in Nice Guys Finish Last I always heard "Pressure cooker bake my brain" instead of "pressure cooker pick my brain." and I still don't know all the words to When I Come Around. I just go "blah-blah-blah BLAH blah blah blahhh blah...and you can't go forcing something if it's just not right..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyohbilliejoe Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 when i first heard boulevard on the radio i thought that the lyric "wish someone out there will fine me" was "some mono-bear will find me", then i came to my senses and said to myself. 'no no no, don't be silly. there's no such thing as a mono-bear. he says "koala-bear" ' but then i realised it wasn't that pretty quick (after 1 listening really), thought it was "polar-bear" for about a year and then it suddenly clicked one day... and no, i couldn't have looked it up on the internet. 'back in the day' of 2004-2005, the rents though that broadband was 'unnecessary'. what can i say... i'm glad they came to their senses too. Haha Me too join... the club ;D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Snark Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I remember each time I bought one of their albums, how overjoyed I'd be that the lyrics were included. I'd sit and listen to all the songs and read along. Still, there are so many lyrics that I've misheard. My favorite lately is in St. Jimmy, where he says "Suicide commando" I always thought it was "Just like the motto". Or "I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun"...I swear in the cast recording it sounds like he says "executing some funk". I know it's wrong, but I can't not hear it. My son and I went out for dinner tonight. We were talking about videos and I mentioned one of my favorite Green Day vids. Then he started talking about all the ones he could remember. Somehow we got on the subject of Waiting. He said, "You know the part where the guitar goes quiet and suddenly he sings ..." and I said, "Dumbstruck, color me stupid!" My son looked at me like ... truly dumbstruck and said ... "Is that what he says? I always thought he said 'Dump truck!'" (Then we were both dumbstruck ... until we started laughing so hard we drew the attention of everyone else in the restaurant.) For years that's what I thought he said too! in Letterbomb, I thought for years that it was "the television" who was an extortionist, not "the town bishop" lol That's what he says?! Well, I guess I've learned something today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
