"Carnies"
Misheard Lyrics: While we play a game of chess
Original Lyrics: A wheel of fate, a game of chance
| "The Anarchist"
Misheard Lyrics: I like the smell of their diapers
Original Lyrics: I lack their smiles and their diamonds
|
"Subdivisions"
Misheard Lyrics: Spawning on the fridges of the city
Original Lyrics: Sprawling on the fringes of the city
| "Limelight"
Misheard Lyrics: Gassed in this unlikely robe
Ill-equipped to act Within some fish, intact One must pull a hairy ass To keep one's self in back. Original Lyrics: Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act With insufficient tact One must put up barriers To keep oneself intact |

"Limelight"
Misheard Lyrics: The real relation
Beyond the lightning Original Lyrics: The real relation
The underlying theme |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Brian Every single time I listen to this line I swear that's what Geddy Lee says "beyond the lightning" and not "the underlying theme". Even live. I would have never known it was "the underlying theme" if I didn't look at the lyrics online. |

"Fly By Night"
The Repetitive Lyrics: My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
Why They're Repetitive: It's one of Rush's shortest songs at just 3 minutes. The phrase in question in repeated so many times you wanna puke. You know that's the bassist over-singing because surely the songwriter wouldn't write it like that.

"Red Barchetta"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: My uncle has a country place
No one knows about He says it used to be a farm Before the Motor Law Why They're Misrhymed: Let's face it guys, there is no way to get 'about' to rhyme with 'law'... no matter how you pronounce either of them
Submitted by: Peregrine
| "Passage To Bangkok"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Pulling in to Khatmandu
Smoke rings fill the ay-er Perfumed by a Nepal night The Express gets you they-er Why They're Misrhymed: The irony is, if they'd pronounced them properly, the words would've rhymed anyway.

"Free Will"
The Insulting Lyrics: Blame is better to give then receive
Why They're Insulting: The whole song is a pretty stiff wake-up call for religeous people, and this lyric sums it up pretty well. Real people don't blame anyone or any abstract concept for their own failings. You tell 'em!

"The Spirit of Radio"
The Lyrics: Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Why: Wrong plural form of "antenna" used here. The Latin plural "antennae" is used only in zoology; for all other definitions (e.g., radio) the correct plural is "antennas".
Submitted by: RJSchex
| "Workin' Them Angels"
The Lyrics: Memory humming at the heart of a factory town All my life I've been workin' them angels overtime Riding and driving and living So close to the edge Workin' them angels - Overtime
Why: Jonathan S. assumes the lyric "Workin' them angels" is a grammatical error. The context of the song is a person in a low paying, menial job (requiring low-education) who is praying constantly in hope that a "god" would solve his problems and make his life better, rather than working to solve them himself. The entire album, "Snakes and Arrows", is a critique upon religion.
