My whole life I always thought it was "Ride the tiger down River Euphrates" in River Euphrates by Pixies, but it's actually "ride the tire".
My life is a lie.

Are you sure its 'tire'?

That's really weird. But listen to how Frank pronounces the last 'ride the tire' in each refrain, it sounds exactly like tiger.
that's such an underrated song. i love early pixies song structures and how simple everything is

Fuck OP I thought it was "tiger" too
Actually I was still wrong, it's "ride a tire"
>>73159095
It says 'tire' on the lyrics for the song on the official Pixies site, so I'd say it's accurate

True but if you listen to this alternate version it's a lot more obvious he says 'tire'

River Euphrates is so fucking good.
Also, I don't know why when I was younger I always heard Kim saying "when I was a little whore" in I'm Amazed.

i used to think it went my love is a knife taker on Say It Aint So

I thought it was:
"Ceased to exist, given my goodbyes. Drive my car into the old shop. You think I'm dead but I sail away."
It's actually:
>cease to resist, giving my goodbye
drive my car into the ocean
you'll think i'm dead, but i sail away
Putting it into context now, what I thought it was is stupid.

Well fuck it - I like 'tiger' better so I'm sticking with it.
