Problems With Liner Notes
From This Might Be A Wiki
Songs whose lyrics are misquoted in their albums' liner notes.
[edit] Lyrics Not Present
- AKA Driver - Lyrics not present in the John Henry liner notes due to fears of legal problems with the manufacturers of Nyquil.
- Yeh Yeh - Lyrics not present in the Mink Car liners because it was a cover of a song administered by a different label.
[edit] Incomplete Lyrics
[edit] Extra Lyrics
- Road Movie To Berlin - Has two extra lines printed in the Flood liner notes. These two lines were deleted from the final version because the Johns felt they made the song too long.
[edit] Alternate Lyrics
[edit] Wrong Lyrics
- A Self Called Nowhere - In the John Henry liner notes, the lyric is "It's a thing named 'it', in a bottomless pit" although it has been decided that the correct lyric uses the word "id," as in the instinctive part of the unconscious according to Freud
- Become A Robot - The Then liners change the line "Here's hoping you don't harbor a death wish" to "Here's hoping you don't harbor a wishnik" in order to protect the faint of heart.
- Bee of the Bird of the Moth - The liner notes change the line "Everyone's deforming..." to "Everything's deforming..."
- Hot Cha - The liners say that Hot Cha had to "run back home" instead of "come back home."
- Lucky Ball And Chain - The Flood liner notes say "When she told me of that day" instead of "When she told me off that day"
- Memo To Human Resources - In The Spine's liner notes, the line "Talk you through the finer points..." instead is "Walk...". And, in the liner notes for Indestructible Object, the written line is "With finer points..."
- The Cap'm - The liner notes change the line "My hat looks good on me?" to "This hat looks good on me?"
- The Shadow Government - The liner notes change the line "...I saw the mayor stealing my junk," to "...I saw the mayor stealing my stuff."
