In "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys I always though he was saying "Spilling drinks on my city", but it was actually "Spilling drinks on my settee," which was a huge let down. Also I never had any idea of what he's saying in "R U Mine?". I just have my own idea of what the lyrics are and that's what I always sing. Here's my idea of the opening couple of lines:
"I'm up a bit on a string
Tracy Island, time traveling diamond
Put a chic heartache
They've come to find you, foreign soap every morning."
And here's the actual lyrics:
"I'm a puppet on a string
Tracy island, time-traveling diamond
Could a shaped heartaches
Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning." _________________ These are my favorite albums right now.

Tch, as if Alex would ever opt for the symbolic over the mundane.
Anyway not so much a case of misunderstood lyrics as misunderstood meaning, but when I first heard the Human League's fantastic Being Boiled I thought it was about Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, which would be very fitting for the darkness of the song. Turns out it's about bloody silk worms - absolute nonsense. Still a banger but fs Oakey.
