It's moan for me too!
And I didn't know that an engineer was a 'driver' across the pond either.

I've been listening to BOML a lot recently (I love the way they do it in the HOTE shows) and it reminded me that until I saw the sub-forum on here, I always thought it was 'cheap-talkin' wine'. Kinda makes sense I guess... :lol:
Thank you for reminding me that I wanted to look up who wrote that song. Paul Craft, a songwriter from Memphis. Aww, he died a few months ago:

I've just seen a fantastic misheard line! I was reading Don's Wall Street Journal interview & a comment below suggested he write a sequel to the song about 'that tired old man with the electric cane'(!), who, the commenter then says, 'ended the Cold War'.
Great one Freypower, it's so feasible isn't it. Always wondered how the old dodder-er managed to be the most powerful man on the planet (Reagan). :grin:
Really enjoying this thread, because I've mistaken many of the same lyrics!
- LITFL: Always thought the word was "heavenly."
- TKOH: Soda, ITA with "sex-starved monkey." Thought it was a great slang expression that paired well with "power junkie."
- MF: "moan" vice "blow."
I'd like to add two more:
- LE: "refuSe" vice "refuGe." Trashy life or trashy mansion?
- LBG: "They write me letters, tell me I'm great." Thought Joe sang, "They write Tim letters, tell him I'm straight." As in heterosexual or sober??
The LBG lines you heard could be right. Joe often changes the lyrics in concert. I have heard him say "They send Tim letters" before. When I heard it he said after that "tell me Glenn's great".
On the Eagles Live album Joe says "They write Tim letters, tell Glenn Don's great". He's also changed letters to emails.
