    I hear ya. That's one reason I misheard it; the other is such clumsy grammar it didn't even occur to me! Now that I know what it is, I admit, it annoys me when I think about it. I try not to.

    You mean it isn't "heavenly bills"? Add me to the list!

    Smuggler's Blues - I thought it went "They hide it up, and tell you right, I mean it's here to stay."
    Correct version: "They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay."

    Incidentally, in one of my clippings from a British mag, they spell it "Tell-U-Ride" - is that part of the Spud-U-Like chain?

    GLENN'S SONGS

    The Heat Is On
    Real (supposedly): The beat's so loud, deep inside
    Mine: The beat's alive, deep inside
    Now, honestly, I actually think MINE is right, but the internet consensus is that the first one is right.

    You Belong to the City
    Real: Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat
    Mine: Movin' through the crowd to the midnight beat
    After careful listening, I realize I got this one wrong! But I think it might be "in the midnight heat" - again, internet consensus says "and the" - not sure it's right.

    Good heavens. As far as I am concerned, in THIO it's 'and the beat's alive'. No way is it 'so loud'.

    As for YBTTC, I think it's 'in the midnight heat'.

    And as for 'they hide it up in Telluride' they have also hidden it in the following places:

    Tokyo
    Daly City
    La Jolla
    Auckland

    and I think there may be others.

    I searched at the internet to the song and it's saying indeed "And the beat's so loud, deep inside."

    But I'm agreed with FP, I Youtubed The Heat Is On, and played it many times, and I can hear "And the beat's alive".
    Let somebody love you, before it's too late..

    Well, as I tell my students, just because something's on the internet doesn't make it true.

    As far as I'm concerned, the lyrics are "The beat's alive."

    According to my 'Best Of Glenn Frey' songbook, it's "and the beat's alive", so those internet sites should go back to their research!

    Yes indeed!

    Another one - in Desperado, I thought it said "You've been out riding fancies".

    It's 06:45 in the morning here in Austria and I just heard:

    For my wedding I don't want violence....

    Well, who would....
