As the title states, have any of you ever completely missed the mark when it comes to deciphering Japan's lyrics (or David's or any other related artists)? Just asking because it usually comes out to be quite funny...
Anyway, my biggest goof was with the lyrics to Quiet Life- the part where David says:
When these driving hands push against the tracks
For the longest time, I though he was saying:
When these drag-queen hands
At first it sort of made sense (in my deranged mind), seeing how David dressed and all. And then one day it finally hit me. "That's a stupid thing to say in a song, that can't be right." I should look at the liner notes more often.
