Title: Plastic Boots or Chinese Boots?

Sounds like Mick is singing Chinese Boots at these shows. Maybe he's always been doing that and I'm late to the party? :blankfriggingstare1

Wasn't the last Pretenders album named Boots of Chinese Plastic? Maybe Mick has Chrissie on his mind!

The lyrics morphed from the original. Same as in Brown Sugar, it was a black girl, a young girl, a young man, now I think its back to young girl again. In Sympathy MICK hasn't sung the line about who killed the Kennedys in decades. In Emotional Rescue MICK has omitted the line about the pet Pekinese. In Some Girls MICK omits Black girls wanna get fucked all night. Poetic license?

Lyrics aren't important to Mick...
verse order clearly isn't important...
accuracy is irrelevant...
modern interpretations...
artistic embellishments...

Same here, for many years. I guess he is pronouncing plastic as if it were spelled "Plastique"

Another song I misheard the lyrics is SFM..."my name is called disturbance" I thought was "My name is gorgeous Gervin"

I guess I thought that since George Gervin was a popular basketball player at the time, I knew it wasn't about him, but I thought the phrase "gorgeous gervin" might have been an English phrase. :aimama

I've noticed MICK updates the lyrics. For example, in Some Girls, Sometimes I take the receiver off the hook,
I don't want them to ever call at all has updated to sometimes I turn the whole damn thing off, I don't want them to ever call at all because nowadays we don't have receivers and hooks on our phones anymore!

In ONE MORE SHOT, MICK has already changed the lyrics from spare the crucifixion to stop the crucifixion I guess this is easier to sing on stage.
