Misheard Lyrics:

"Let the Mystery Be"

Misheard Lyrics:

Some say once you're gone you're gone forever
And some say you're gonna come back
Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour
Fencing the ways you lack
Some say that they're comin' back in a garden
But your carrot's a little sweet pea
I think I'll just let the mystery be

Original Lyrics:

Some say once you're gone you're gone forever
And some say you're gonna come back
Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour
If in sinful ways you lack
Some say that they're comin' back in a garden
Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas
I think I'll just let the mystery be

Story about this misheard lyric by: Patrick

This is used as the opening theme song for The Leftovers Season 2. I ended up turning on subtitles because it was bugging me that the lyrics I was hearing didn't quite make sense.

Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities:

"Trouble"

The Lyrics:

Let's pour a little whiskey, drink a little gin
Listen to Merle Haggard like he's lovin' me again
Trouble, I'm even in trouble with him
Trouble's where I'm goin'
Trouble's the only place I've ever been

Let's turn off the TV, I'm tired of CNN
Let's throw a little party, invite some sinners in

"Quality Time"

The Lyrics:

When they get around to dinner, they're damn near half dead
So they drive thru McDonald's and put the kids off to bed
But they're upwardly mobile, and everything is fine
'Cause when they do get together, it's quality time

They want stickers on the music, but they want the laws turned around
They want the cops to run Beavis and Butthead outa town

Who They Mention:

Beavis & Butthead (cartoon characters from the 90's)
