I hate the c-word. I read somewhere it made their momma cry when she heard it, so I don't think they'll be singing about c**** in the future. At least I hope not!
And what the hell does "I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher" mean? I could never figure that one out.

In the chorus of Happy Alone, I always thought he was saying '3 o' clock in the morning, they're all proud of me.' Then I learned it was 'they all cry to me.'

In Soft I also thought it was 'I used to sleep, every day'. But that's not as funny. It's not? What's he saying then? I always thought the line "You caught me whilst a lyin" was "You caught me with a lion, you caught me with my pants down." I thought it was about bestiality. Oh my God. That made me laugh SO much.

I've been meaning to post in this thread forever......but I got distracted by all the pretty faces in the photos threads. For the longest time I thought "This party's overrated" was "This part is overrated" and it always made me laugh. I thought they were so awesome for that. Then I found out the actual words and was almost sad. But I got over it. For the most part, when I don't know the words and am singing along I just sing gibberish that sounds reasonably close until I get to a word or part I know. "Eigneohwobbuenwwn....taper jean girl........nohb9e8bwionviweiwn.....four kicks.........." LOL! That's exactly what I do, too! Sometimes I have nightmares about one of the guys hearing me mutilating their lyrics and excommunicating me from the KOL fandom.

I always thought "I'm taking all I have to take, this takings gonna shake/shape (?) me" was "I'm taking all i have to take, 'cause the kings are gonna shave me" got this weird pic in my head of the rest of the band (kol being the 'kings') forcing Caleb to shave himself or something, felt bad for him

Can anyone help me out with McFearless lyrics...particularly the line about the bag lunch, i tried o-dusty but that part seems to have been overlooked.

i read an interview the other day, it was an old one but in it he says that even the record company didnt have a clue what he was saying, i think i have part of the article hold on......*goes to find* here goes When we did our record, we had our record label people saying "We can't understand what you are saying", and then I would have to put the lyrics infront of them. They couldnt understand the way I was saying it. I'll use a word and you might think im using it this way, but the spelling is completely different. I want to have hooks and im not talking about hooks like a pop chorus. Im talking about something that grabs you're attention and makes you think, did he really just say that? Is he using poor language? It sounds like he's singing through his nose or whatever. I love shit like that.'

okay!! have i been living a lie?? because if i have had these lyrics wrong for the past 2 yrs or whatever, im going to be hella mad! (coz the way i think they are, i think is uber cool lol)
anyway , in day old blues is it, "girls are gonna like the way i toss my hair, boys are gonna hate the way i sing"
OR
"girls are gonna like the way i toss my hair, boys are gonna hate the way i seem"
all this time i thought it was SING!! but in lyrics is says seem. maybe i should check the lyrics booklet in ASH. i hope its sing, coz sing is funkier. it really sums up caleb - hair plus voice, u know?

I totally get your point groupie. I hope it is 'seem' though. Purely because I kind of understand where caleb's coming from (i think...). I can imagine him walking into a club (if he wasn't famous) and everyone (especially the guys) looking at him, judging him on appearance, the long hair(well not long at the moment but hopefully it will be soon.), the skinny jeans, thats what i hope he's talking about. Cause sometimes I think I can relate to him a lil bit. when I go into clubs and have the skinnyish jeans, (my "on call" boots lol), because they're like the ones in the video, and my hair is starting to get quite long now. and sometimes the 'Lads' me and my mates call them, you know with really short hair or short spikey hair gelled up will make a comment to one of my friends like get a hair cut or whatever. It always reminds me of caleb, he has the long air and stuff, he's quite a quiet kind of guy and ultimately he knows he's better than these people. anyway yeah I love that lyric "girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair, guys are gonna hate the way I seem" but i get your point aswell...and I also understand that I took advantage of using brackets to add additional information that was not necessary during the course of this post

With the whole 'sunny shaven legs" thing, I always thought it it was Sunday shaven legs and the boys were talking about the girls they went to church with. Bizarre I know, but it fits in my mind lol! I usually like my version of the words, it makes sense to my brain.
