Sometimes, it can be hard to work out what the lyrics of Gorillaz songs are, mainly because it often sounds like Damon has just woken up from a coma... or has been taking something illicit recently.

Anyway. The song I will hereby use as an example is "Happy Landfill". These are the lyrics given on the internet:

Quote:
The feeling in
Guts to the brain
It means you got it coming and you ain't got a chain
Their only attire
Is a typical vice
But if it gets you well, well you ain't being nice, no
No!

So follow the lives
Till they cut up your eyes
You won't be even seeing if you ain't growing lies
Then bought all the s**t
That should never be sold
They put a gun above it and a narrow behold

We are the happy landfill
We are the happy landfill
Hurray!

The feeling in
Guts to the brain
It means you got it coming and you ain't got chain
Their only attire
Is a typical vice
But if it gets you well, well you ain't being nice, no
No!

So follow the lives
Till they cut up your eyes
You won't be even seeing if you ain't growing lies
Then bought all the s**t (we are the happy landfill)
That should never be sold (we are the happy landfill)
They put a gun above it and a narrow behold

Hurray!


Yet when I listen to it, I hear this:

Quote:

The feeling didn't
Get to the brain
At least you got it coming and you ain't got tame
The road in time
Is a typical vice
But don't think it's to well - well you ain't being nice, no.

So follow the line to the cat on your right
You won't be even singing if you ain't caught lies
Then caught on the ship that should never reach shore
They put a gun above it and would never be whole!
We are the happy landfill...


And repeat as needed. Now, although their version makes more sense (why is there a cat on my right? Why do I need to go to it? Wah!) I still can't bring myself to hear that. Actually, I quite like the lyric about the ship - except it's... not about a ship. =S It's about s**t, instead.

So. Discuss:
- misheard Gorillaz lyrics
- Gorillaz lyrics that you swear are different to what people say they are
- why I need to follow the line to the cat on my right

Call me crazy, but I thought for the "It means you got it coming and you ain't got chain" actually sounded like, "Now b***h, you got it coming, and you ain't got a chance."

Don't ask why, that's just what it sounded like. And I completely agree with the one part sounding like "cat on your right".

Though what the hell does "you ain't got chain" mean anyway?

I had a thought with the cat - of course, in like, the... 80's, a 'cat' was a cool person... so maybe...

I just really liked the metaphore of a ship that would never reach shore...

Also, does anyone know what Shaun says in 'Dare' apart from the 'it's coming up' part? Sounds like 'Meladignohai' but, um, that's not a word.

I think he's sayin' "Never did no harm." And, you know, sometimes the accent gets rid of the "h" in harm, so that would explain why it's different in the live version. 3nodding
