clueless don Mondegreens: mystery lyrics (57* d) RE: Mondegreens: mystery lyrics 11 Oct 12


I encountered one recently. In the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth", I had always heard (admittedly ungrammatical)

It starts when you're always at pray.
Step out of line, the man come, and take you away.

Apparently the actual line is "It starts when you're always afraid". Couldn't prove it by my ears.
