Another quick shot post.  Name the song my misunderstood lyric came from:

I can’t find, oh, the rock of my life

It came from a ballad about a guy who’s apparently made a pass at someone else, and it’s not working too well.  At the time, the song was great musically, but meaningless pretty much lyrically.  Then it clicked and it all made sense.

I’m going to stick some distractionary stuff here to give the post a break. Below the break, is the song.  There are clues all over the place, so don’t cheat!

OK, if you’ve made it so far, the lyric actually was:

I can’t find, oh the right romantic line

From, of course, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” by Elton John. Given the tone of the song, can’t light the darkness, frozen on the ladder, tired, time not moving ( bored ), finding a rock seemed a natural fit. But, as I later figured out, that’s not what the song was about. So, his lyric fits perfectly in that aspect.

But, occasionally, I still sing it my way.
