I always sang “ sail awaaay all across the ocean “

To Gallagher & Lyle’s Breakaway song

Apparently it is ..

“Breakaway, fly across your ocean
Breakaway, the time has come for you
Breakaway, fly across your ocean
Breakaway, the time has come”

Idk why it sounded different when I was a kid?

……I think we all have song lyrics which we mis-sung in younger days and even though we now know the correct lyrics…?…we still sing our childhood versions of them…or is that just me…?…

In that song by Macy Gray she says “I try to talk away and I stumble” and honestly in the last year I realised it’s stumble and not stumboke

What’s a stumboke? Not a clue, but it confused me for 3 decades

Oh and I thought it was bumbo bee not bumble bee, I remember telling the dentist that the poster was spelt wrong

He probably thought I was a stupid bitch

Same

Or up until last year I used to sing :

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Fiscal bay
I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way
