Have I inadvertently opened a can of my fellow invertibrates? Apparently my mishearing is not only a common one, but is widely held to be the correct lyric.
Just to recap I originally thought that the lyrics to She's Losing It went: "the first cup of coffee TASTES LIKE washing up"
But I now believe that the actual lyric is: "the first cup of coffee CLEARS the washing up"
I prefer the misheard version, so if anyone can prove me wrong please do.
ok, please take a short trip to http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/discography/EHRLP5.htm#losing where you will find the lyrics as on the album sleeve live on the web and awaiting your attention. to quote; "And in the first moment of her waking up She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing Yeah she's losing it" but, i think what you made the original lyrics in the end qualifies as a cool mis-hearing :) david kitchen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- david kitchen : merchandising and websites : jeepster records http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk jeepster recordings ltd, 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london w10 5bn to subscribe to the news mailing list mail majordomo@jeepster.co.uk with the words 'subscribe news' in the body of the message there is no need to subscribe if you are on the 'sinister' list +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
