Storyteller's Misheard Lyrics

[carriefan14]

So I feel like with this album I had to actually look at the album notes to figure out what the lyric was. I think it's because this album has had the most complex lyrics of her albums to date.

Anyway, I noticed on the internet people obviously misheard some things and published it on sites like A-Z lyrics or similar sites.

In RR, the album notes say "Young gunslinger makin' you a mess". Some people have written it down as "Young gunslinger makin' new amends".

In Heartbeat, the album notes say "I wanna feel it like a kick drum" which makes more sense than "And wanna feel it like a kick drum" even though sometimes I think Carrie actually does sing "And wanna" lol

And in Mexico I thought she was saying "If they get the cops on us it's 25 to life". Nope, it's "if they get the cuffs on us"

In Church Bells I heard
Jenny grew up wild
Like a black foot daisy
Out in the shack
With a bloated count

I'm like, 95% sure on Heartbeat she does sing "And I wanna feel it like a kick drum." I don't care what the liner notes say, lol.

For WINKIAW, I thought Carrie was singing "dressing this way," until I saw the lyric video and noticed it was "dressing in white."

In Chaser, I thought it was, "It's the thrill, it's the high, it's the love of the game." Instead of "It's the thrill, it's the hunt, it's the love of the game."

In Relapse, I thought it was, "You're just someone that I'm tasting." "Some wine" sounded so much like "someone" to me!

In TGYTIAM, I thought it was "I was singing at a baby laying in a manger." The actual lyrics of "I was signing 'bout a baby laying in a manger" make much more sense.

In Mexico, I thought it was "And I'll lead 'em down a different road"

I had quite a few lyric mishaps with this album. :-(

Oh. My. God.

Is this in the liner notes as "You're just some wine that I'm tasting?" Because no. My ears clearly hear "someone."

I've obviously never actually looked up the lyrics to any of these songs.

Yep, that's what it says in the album liner! I didn't find out until about a month after the album came out when I was just casually scrolling through the album booklet.

They sound too much alike!!!

[CarrieUDomination]

[maddkat]

Is that really not the correct lyric?

so looked it up and then listened again closely

it's "it might lead'em down a different road"

 

[mtreasmith]

Wow. I FEEL STUPID. I have sung "you're just someone I've been tasting" soooooo many times. Out loud. In front of people.

Also, Renegade Runaway. The first line of the chorus. WHAT IS SHE SAYING, its so mumbled. lol

I believe it's "She's a sure-shot, knock the ash off a smokin' cigarettes."

lol, join the crowd

RR line is 'she's a sure shot knock the ash off a smokin' cigarette"
it's a reference to Annie Oakley, who was a sharp shooter and would shoot ashes off cigarettes in her shows

 

[bubbasumner]

I thought in Mexico it said "passport says J-lo" but apparently is says "Jane doe" lol

Not laughing about misunderstanding the lyrics because I've done that many times. But this one is so hilarious. The title indicates, of course, she is comparing her addiction to him to an alcoholic who relapses. Can't imagine what you envision when she sings the lyric "one or two little sips" with you're just someone that I'm tasting. Lol!!! Thanks for the laugh -- too funny!!

 

[mtreasmith]

Carrie needs to work on her articulation lol

Thanks, this is the only lyric I questioned. ;-)

Also, dirty laundry - what is she saying versus what is the correct lyric?

"Just say goodbye to yoooooou"
"And say goodbye to yoooooou"
"To say goodbye to yoooooooou"

 

[Kizmet311]

Also, dirty laundry - what is she saying versus what is the correct lyric?

"Just say goodbye to yoooooou"
"And say goodbye to yoooooou"
"To say goodbye to yoooooooou"

Pretty sure it's "to say goodbye to you". The "laundry" is waving in the wind "to" say goodbye to the guy.
