Misunderstood lyrics

R.E.M - Man on the Moon

My lyrics: If you believe they put a man on the moon, (man on the moon), if you believe that there is nothing out there to see, then nothing is cool.

Actual Lyrics: If you believed they put a man on the moon, (Man on the moon), If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve, Then nothing is cool.

i guess what R.E.M were saying is the Man on the Moon was all Hoax pulling off a Magical Trick by having nothing up his sleeve. My lyrics would make the song suggest, they looked but didn't find anything important. Still, I kind of prefer my lyrics, though each to their own.

The Doors - Light My Fire

My lyrics: Come on Baby Light My Fire, Come on Baby Light My Fire, Try to Sip the Night of Fire

For many years I thought, why would he wanna Sip the Light of Fire unless it was drug reference and then finally I heard José Feliciano sing the song which had better clarity 'Try to Set the Night on Fire'. Though I've heard people say Feliciano cleaned up the song and The Doors version is 'Try to Sip the Night of Fire' (despite Lyrics sites saying otherwise).

Sounds Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

I kept hearing: Take my hand, I'm an angry Jew.
What it really is: Take my arms that I might reach you.

Billy Field - You Weren't In Love With Me

The 1st part of the Chorus I thought Billy is saying - "Life Granted You That, Why Can't You See", instead the lyrics sites say it's "Blind Freddy Knew That, Blind Man Could See", I have to wonder if that's correct though or if this is simply too difficult to decipher?
