Re: Dark Train (misheard) lyrics
I heard "like a train" for quite a while. I once played the beginning of Pearls Girl to a friend and he turned to me, utterly bewildered, "All I hear is wuzy, wuzy, wuzy..."

Re: Dark Train (misheard) lyrics
Going off on a slight tangent, perhaps the holy grail of u/w lyrics is what is Karl singing during the middle section of "Crocodile"

Re: Dark Train (misheard) lyrics
I get lyrics wrong all the time... but I can honestly say, since I first heard, it was "Ride the Train" for me. The thing about Karl's lyrics though, is even if you do mishear them or not, you're still unlikely to figure out what he's talking about anyway. ..."velvet tongue... and designer voodoo..." huh?

Re: Dark Train (misheard) lyrics
I first heard Underworld Live at Tramways, Glasgow on Radio 1in 1994 and had never heard of them and didn't know any of the track names so I had no idea what Karl was singing and thought 'ride the train' was 'Mad man in Troy'! �� I also thought the Dark Train lyrics were 'Don't, don't, don't, don't don't... learn to speak!
In Pearl's Girl I always thought it was 'Old man Einstein on top of his housewife'. Crazycrazycrazy! ��
Best wrong lyric I've heard was my Dad who thought The Prodigy Everybody in the place was Careers in the police! ��

Re: Dark Train (misheard) lyrics
I can't be the only one who thought it was 'train driver' and 'about the driver', surely??

Yeah, I thought this for years. Also 'pieces of the bosom are waiting'.

And in NUXX, 'I just come out of the shit'.

Most of these were while in my early teens, to be fair.
