This may have been done before, but I'm new and you're all soooo nice so you'll forgive me I'm sure.

I would like to know if anyone else has realised they were singing the completely wrong lyrics to a Paolo song before they bought the album to listen on headphones carefully, or googled the proper lyrics?

Example.......*blush*

Jenny - tell me who makes these rules, who's putting sin on you.......

Million faces - we're distracted by the harsh lights

White Lies (to be fair I didn't look at the song titles when I first heard the album) - I've lost my disguise, but its all right now.....

Ok, everyone please fess up to your Paolo faux pas and don't leave me horribly, embarrassingly alone in this post......

Hmmm....I don't think I've been singing the wrong lyrics (or maybe I have because I've never really read the lyrics...lol), but I do find myself singing with a Scottish accent all the time. Big Grin

Neeky, I have made a few fumbles on Funky Cigarette because Paolo talks/sings so fast on that song. Like:

"But nowadays it's harder to disguise, that wandering look of sedated look that glares across my eyes...." LOL! Oh boy!

Neeky I have never figured out some lyrics still on his faster songs like funky cigarette and even rainbows. I do always sing with a scottish accent like Michelle said-how can you not. The problem is it is sneaking into my everyday conversation and m kids think I have lost my mind!

Maybe because I've been living in Yorkshire and hanging out with Geordie friends, both of which have a bit of twang and dialect, but I don't notice any scottish in his performing?

Although, I haven't seen him live, only YouTube performances and the CD.

Paolocrush - Your kids will start saying things like "och nay" to their friends at school and chomping down on home-fried mars bars washed down with irn-bru.

Speaking of stereotypes, I must go ride my Kangaroo to the shops to buy some more vegemite to put on the barbie.....

Hahaha...this made me smile... Big Grin
Reminds at this situation when I came back from a week in Scotland and the next day I had been asked about the way to the station by a japanese men here in Zurich...in English of course...and i answered him and explained the way...and the poor man was looking at me like an alien and was like "Huh??? What are you talking about..." Big Grin Then I noticed that that wasn't "proper English" and that he had nearly no chance to understand me.... Wink

(For those who aren't aware of my nuffiness and haven't read my other post of this...)

Virtual Lamb t'slaughter. Some more of my gems.

Jenny don't be hasty - "and it kills me...."
My version?
"Oh excuuuuuuuuuuse me. So ru-U-ude"

Actually what is that last bit he sings? It's very cool whatever it is, but just a bit unintelligible.....

Million faces - Oh the phone you know it never stops...
Me - The mobile phone you know it never stops..

Million faces - you slowly creep in to bed
me - you slowly creep in to me (I didn't think of the logistics of this one...)

Million - (must be the slow warble that confuses me in this song...) - All I want to know is if it's with you
Me - All i want to know is if it fits with you.

Loving you - slide through the door with your morals on your sleeve
Me - slide through the door with your morrows on your sleeve.

Loving you - it's your flawless soul
Me - it's your flirty soul

*sigh* sad thing is I could go on and on.......

Imagine if I posted on the other thread "Wrong song lyrics" covering all artists and was able to demonstrate how wide spread my lyrical ignorance is...

You are sooo funny! When I say Scottish accent I am singing to live versions of the songs from the U.K. Festival edition or downloads of live songs. His accent is not very apparent on the regular cd-you are right. My singin is terrible-my kids say- but I don't care-I do it anyway!!!I love the accent because it reminds me of my grandparents and my cousins! So I sing it loud and proud!! Big Grin
