Just been reading this thread in the pixies forum and wondered if anyone had any good fb ones. I imagine this has been done to death, if so I apologise 
I mishear most lyrics (cloth ears) but one that springs to mind is
rain that lasts till dawn
for
reign of mastodon
oh well heh

Yep... hafta admit I fell for the "selling insurance" one too. And I coulda sworn he was singing about Dagobah in that song too.

But wasn't that song about a guy?
"Alison," I mean, not "Palace Of The Brine."
I guess Frank could still be saying goodbye to him, though.

also "more shows at night" instead of "monsieurs at nine" or whatever it says, I always thought he was saying pain instead of tame too and "a tattoo dick say number 13" hehe

One song I had trouble understanding the lyrics to was "The Hostess With The Mostest." I thought "I'd hit the mall" was "I hate them all," and "when it was biggest in the world" was "when it was Vegas in the world."

Break my Body:
"I'm a hung loser" (the hard loser)
"I shit forever and I never care" (shake forever)
I like that way better. Having both a large penis and chronic diarrhea, I can really relate.
Just kidding about the diarrhea. :-o |

Yeah, that was my kids. They've been re-educated since!

As for "Blast Off," doesn't Frank actually say "I'm wearing Beckett's pants" at one point? Not Becky's, certainly, but I think psychogroupie got the pants part right.

I had quite a few with the Pixies: I shouldn't admit to this, but I *very briefly* thought Debaser went "I am unchained, on the loose, yeah" (and I wasn't sure if he said 'debaser', a word I didn't really know at the time, or "ten paces"... I had a copy of the album, so no tracklist). "Sliced with no bubbles"... and I thought Tame went "PAAAAIN!!!"
Then there's "This monk, he's gone to Harvard"...

MIB - "Are they grey or is it my own nation?" - Which I always thought was "Are they grey or is it my omission?"
And in "Jesus was right", I alway thought the line "I like distortion, when I bar chord, An empty parking lot, when I ride on my board" was "I like distortion, when I bar chord, An empty parking lot, when I ride on my whore"
I think the Becketts pants line is a beckett trance isn't it?

that MIB lyric is just begging to be misheard!
I always thought it was something like
"To a place (that's) special, the shape of a cucumber"
Frank has a weird way of enunciating words sometimes when he's singing...I think its pretty cool, everyone does it to a certain degree. But it has definitely caused me some confusion in terms of mis-hearing lyrics
