Do you ever have that? Mishear lyrics in an embarrassing way? Forever (no pun intended) I thought the chorus here was "Reverend Blue Jeans".

Another one of my howlers was to misconstrue (no doubt in an adolescent, oversexed, but underf***ed Über-projection) "Ashen Lady, Ashen Lady - give up your vows" (at 2:57)
as "I should have laid ya, I should have made ya give up your vows ...".
My only defense is that Alan Lancaster kinda sang it that way (at 12:38) in Quo's version. Darn Limey confused me!
