I've had A LOT of these, as english isn't my primary language...but I can't remember any right now (I've got a VERY tired mind at the moment, might come up with something later on).

But...in the chicago dvd, the "Bullet with butterfly wings" snippet is "I am still just a rat in a cage", and I heard it wrong (I even posted what I had heard some time ago in U2Start...it was gerard who corrected me I think!!)...what I heard was:
"I'm still just a ROTTEN cage" (whatever that means!!)

For the longest time, I thought the chorus to "Beautiful Day" was:

It's a beautiful day, sky falls and felines.


Why the hell is he singing about cats?!?

l thought they were Bono's lyrics until I was informed otherwise... a great snippet though, works really well!

From the live version of Mofo: "Move me a mountain." I always thought they sang "Move me inventor." No idea how I got inventor out of mountain...
