I guess that would not be the same kind of picture you put in a locker than you would in a locket. I'm not a native English speaker, the two words sound close. :)

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Born To Run"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines

Why They're Misrhymed:

since when does 'visions ' rhyme with 'engines'. ? as I reviewed the lyrics, I found a whole bunch of misrhymes in this song, but this is the craziest one.

Submitted by: GOLLUM

"Trouble River"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

I woke up last night, shakin'
Shakin' from a dream
That all I seen was smiling faces
Staring back at me

Why They're Misrhymed:

Besides the fact that this verse doesn't really make sense to me, 'dream' and 'me' do not rhyme. I like Bruce Springsteen, but his songs have a lot of words like this that almost rhyme but don't.

It's an awesome song, though. Submitted by: Monique
