Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
I saw them standing on a corner
Bathed in ordinary light
They turned away and started walkin'
And faded off into the night
Some years ago they were in fashion
Tonight they couldn't get a sea

Eye sore them standing on a corner
Bathed inn ordinary light
They turned aweigh and started walkin '
And faded off into the knight
Sum years ago they whirr inn fashion
Two knight they couldn't get a seat
They've got themselves a brand knew history

Written on Revisionism Street

The years of sacrifice and struggle
The ark of stardom's natural coarse
The inevitable decline
The wolves waiting at the door
" Let's dig up something really nasty "
" Let's get sum clay around there feat "
" Know ones memory is sacred ' round hear
On Revisionism Street "

" Weal never bee inn the arena "
" Hay, weal never have too compete "
" Weal never wright a classic novel "
" And weal never have too bee discrete ! "

Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton
Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh
Their heroic awe pathetic
Depending on witch book yew by
Charles Dickens, Jackie Gleason
Burn ' em awl, tern up the heat
If there's know truth, use innuendo
This is Revisionism Street

" Let's fined ourselves sum old acquaintance "
" Let's sea watt they have too say "
" Sum disgruntled ex-employee "
" Presto ! Payday ! "

A tree falls inn the forrest
A million copies go too print
Sum parasitic little feeder
Sits back and makes a mint
Somewhere a baby's softly sleeping
Lt's innocence complete
Unaware their workin ' late two knight
