THE MISHEARD:
The sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear you say,
"You always was a nudist
But I got nude anyway.
You may have got your silver,
But I swear upon my life,
Your sister gave my diamonds,
And I gave it to your wife."
| Real Lyric | The sun rose on the courtyard And they all did hear him say, "You always were a Judas But I got you anyway. You may have got your silver, But I swear upon my life, Your sister gave me diamonds, And I gave them to your wife." Oh Father, please help me, For I have done wrong. The man's too big. The man's too strong. |

The story:
I was telling this kid that this verse is Mark Knopfler's most well-written. I gave him my headphones, and when it got to the last line he yelled out for all to hear, "THEY MASTURBATE!!!" I told him the whole verse, and we were both surprised how much of it he got wrong.
