Misheard lyrics

Post by JuanHamm »

This must be a thread already, but tree has inspired me to make it anyway.

A while ago someone said they heard the Sad line "eleven nights he lay in bed..." As "He'd rather masturbate in bed..."

Now I can't unhear it. It fits the song pretty well too.

I always heard that line as "he lit a match and lay in bed."

It took a long time for me to parse out the “innocence/inner sense” in In My Tree.

Interesting. Lyrics sites are no help in unraveling this mystery.

The Pearl jam website has it as

"He let 'em as he laid in bed
hoping that dreams would bring her back"

Is there a difference between Sad and Letter to the dead?
