Strawbs', "Lay Down"
Misheard Lyrics:
Lay da, la day day da, foam ah so
Original Lyrics:
Lay down, I lay me down, for my soul
Priestess', "Lay Down"
Misheard Lyrics:
Lay down, sleep my little darling
I'll be nothing when you're gone.
Lay down just like in a car crash.
little bit older, I know I'm a goat!
It's not my turn. I'll hit you with a chair, I'll hit you with a car before dawn.
I'll be nothing when you're gone.
Lay down just like in a car crash.
little bit older, I know I'm a goat!
It's not my turn. I'll hit you with a chair, I'll hit you with a car before dawn.
Original Lyrics:
Lay down, sleep my little darling
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down just like in a coffin
So I'll leave you in a coffin for God,
and leave you in a Church.
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down just like in a coffin
So I'll leave you in a coffin for God,
and leave you in a Church.
Editor's note: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SEPARATE SONG LINES BY USING BR TAGS, otherwise the entry will come out looking like a big long paragraph. I had to fix this one because it didn't contain BR tags. Thank you for your cooperation.
