Misheard Green Day Lyrics


LaughingClock

Recommended Posts

I always thought it was "Nice guys finish last, when you run out of gas"

Hahahah me too. To this day that's what I hear.

Wait...those aren't the lyrics?! :mellow:

Nice guys finish last, when you are an outcast

I thought it was both 'when you run out of gas' and 'when you are an outcast' at different points in the song. Whoops.

I think it's "when you run out of gas" in the first verse, but then it's outcast in every chorus

What I could make out of Wow! Thats Loud...

Smeller take me color in your eyes

Makes me sleep with pleasure in my mind.

Shaking like a song of lightning

Staring in the sun is blinding

Like a bottle rocket in the sky

Dressed to the night

Like a black cats eye

You're such a beautiful mess tonight

Wow that dirty dress is so loudx2

And it goes

Wearing looks like hot and red alert

You're okay and flowers in the dirt

Ready in the [..] bible

Nuclear is on and lightbulb

Wearing day glow where you know it hurts

On Holiday, i thought it was, "Just cause because were all not dead."

Apparently its "Just cause because were outlaws, yeah."

In Stay the Night, I thought Billie said "I've got a nipple so repulsive that it burns" then I realized it was impulse, because that just didn't make sense. :lol:

In Fuck Time, I heard "I'll chop your laundry and sanitor!", or something like that, instead of "I'll drop your laundry and slam the door!".

Yeah, that's it. Haven't heard the song in a while.

This sounds like me when I first started trying to decifer Billie's singing. You got the chorus right, though! :)

It's "you're running out of gas" in the first verse, and "when you are the outcast" in the chorus.

Good to know! I'll probably still sing it wrong though...

If you didn't write that, I probably would have never known. haha

When I first heard Scattered, I thought the line was "Open the bastard prison, now and we are there." I still really like it that way, for some reason.

I think every Green Day fan has thought they heard something different from the lyrics because of how Billie sings. I can't think of any lyrics I've misheard right now but I will post when I remember some.

"I am the cherub in the arab spring"

- Baby Eyes

edit: WAIT WHAT those are the correct lyrics.

What the fuck :lol: I thought my ears were hearing that wrong. But it's the real lyrics.

Here's what I hear from Stop When The Red Lights Flash I have no idea if they are right because I didn't look them up:

Uncomfortable silence

I'll kill it if you want me to

I'm like ultra violence

I'll kill it if you want me to

Out of sight out of mind

I'm not the hurting kind

I'll make you surrender (x4)

Stop when the red lights flash

I'll trade you blood for dirty cash

Life in the catacombs

You make me feel like I'm not home

Out of sight out of mind

I'm not the hurting kind

I'll make you surrender (x4)

Out of sight out of mind

Just give in one more time

I'll make you surrender (x8)

Now I know I have it totally wrong for When I Come Around. I've never been able to understand that song:

I heard you crying loud

All the way across sound

You've been searching for that someone

That is me out on the prow

As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Well don't get lonely now

And dry your wetted eyes

I'm just ??? for the moment

Sneezing my backdoor ???

So looks like you've been thinking about ditching me

Your drama sets the world go round

'Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

I heard it all before

So donuts at my door

I'm a loser and user

So I don't need no accuser

To try and slap me down because I know you're right

So go do what you like

Make try to do it white

You might find out that you self doubt

Means nothing where's everything

You can't go forcing something if it's just not right

Your drama sets the world

'Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

Your drama sets the world go round

'Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around (x4)

Seriously, I have no idea what the fuck he's singing like half the time in that one. :lol:

I'm the same with that song. I'll learn the lyrics and then forget them all over again. From now on though, there will be donuts at his door whenever I hear it! :lol:

In Having A Blast, when he says "I won't listen to anyone's last words", I always hear "I want pussy" at the beginning of the line. :lol:
