Billy Bragg's, "Waiting For the Great Leap Forward"
Misheard Lyrics:
In a perfect world, we’d all sing in tune
But this is reality, so it skips a groove.
But this is reality, so it skips a groove.
Original Lyrics:
In a perfect world, we’d all sing in tune
But this is reality, so gimme some room.
But this is reality, so gimme some room.
In my defense, my misheard lyric makes sense too. Imagine a vinyl record player skipping a groove?
