Destroying Childhood Misconceptions

I hate it when I don't have the facts straight. For me, this often means that songs that I once innocently interpreted lyrics for are corrected and my blissful memories of times associated with these false memories destroyed in an instant.

For example, Kyrie by Mister Mister (circa 1980-something) was until this afternoon one of these glee filled memories. I thought to myself, wouldn't it be nice to know what the hell they're really singing? knowing well that my interpretation of the lyrics might be wrong.

My Interpretation: Carry me like an Angel down the road I must travel.

Real Lyrics: Kyrie Eleison down the road I must travel.

Kyrie Eleison? What the fuck is that? Is this some sort of sick joke ?

According to Wikipedia (the most credible source on the Internet, BTW), it's a reference to a Roman Catholic Prayer. Did I get fooled again? This continues a disturbing trend of songs that I always misheard as a child with religious references and undertones. Was that on purpose?

This is one of those moments when the Internet isn't my friend, but instead the evil friend that spoils the end of a movie by telling you who dies at the end right before the climax of the movie. Fuckers.
