Misheard lyrics

Sometimes it is very difficult to hear song lyrics, although the internet pretty much means you can now look up the correct version. Here are a few I have misheard in my time.

Alanis Morissette- Isnt it Ironic.

Actual Lyric:

"It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think"
My version:
"Its a death throw hard on two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think"
Well now that would be ironic.

Damien Rice - Dogs

Actual Lyric:

"She lives with an orange tree
The girl that does yoga"
plus all other yoga references in the song.

My version:
"She lives with an orange tree
The girl that does your garden"
I thought the 'den' part was silent. After all why would you write a song about yoga, your garden is much more sensible.

Damien Rice - Coconut Skins

Actual Lyric:
"Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt"
My version:
"Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And really bummed us out"
