On Unknown Caller, the first time I heard

Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak

I thought it was

Hear me, sister speak that I may speak

Hehe  ;D

I sent anvils, so ducking won't help. Heads up...

Also, I put lyrics in my personalised text from "White As Snow", and if I've got them wrong I'll feel really, really stupid.

I think you're safe with your selection. :)

In "Between a Man and a Woman" the lyric is "keep beauty innocent" and until this morning I heard "keep beauty in ascent". I might like mine better.

Ha, I thought it was "keep beauty, in a sense."

We all know
"It's not trick
'Cause you can't learn it"
Well,before I looked at the lyrics I was singing this:
"DISCOTHEQUE!
'Cause you can't earn it"

OK, I'll admit that on Ultraviolet, I thought that the title wasn't in the song, but rather that he was just singing "won't you light my way!".  Oops.  Now that I know the real lyrics I feel really dumb and can't possibly hear it the wrong way.  In my defense, it was usually because I was singing along with that part.

Haha! Your convert shoes    :D    in the same song, my American ears couldn't pick up on "boot of your car" cause I had no idea what a boot was at the time. So I thought he was saying "hood of your car".

I swear I do not hear "Been around the back, been around the front" in the background of Mofo. I refuse to believe those are the lyrics. It is clearly "Wheee-ooo wham bam."

Me too! I looked up the lyrics on the internet a while back (to see if he really says the f-word or not), and I was like: "What the hell is this been around back, been around front line?!?!"

Also, in my early days of U2-fanship, I thought that line is All Because of You was:

I'm a lion, I'm being Bono

instead of:

I'm alive, I'm being born
