Squeeze, "Up the Junction"
Misheard Lyrics:
And when the time was ready
We had to sell some jelly
Played evenings by the fire
With little kids inside her
We had to sell some jelly
Played evenings by the fire
With little kids inside her
Original Lyrics:
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her
Listen very closely. It clearly sounds like Glenn Tilbrook is putting a P in front of “late”, making it sound more like “played”.
