BRADLEY's thoughts on some of Petra's songs:
Beyond BeliefAll Fired Up
Without Him We Can Do Nothing
BRADLEY has a little bit of earwax buildup, because:
On the Petra Farewell album, in "Rock Medley: Sight Unseen/It Is Finished/Think Twice/I Am On The Rock/Midnight Oil/Mine Field/This Means War/It Is Finished" when Petra said "But you went down fighting", BRADLEY thought they said "But you were defiant"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "And for more than 15 years I thought Satan was just being stubborn!"On the Petra Farewell album, in "Jekyll & Hyde" when Petra said "Two men are fighting a war inside", BRADLEY thought they said "You'd better fight on the winning side"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "Fight on the winning side and the right man wins every time!"
On the Jekyll & Hyde album, in "Stand" when Petra said "Stand with emphasis", BRADLEY thought they said "Stand with Ephesus"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "That's how I hear John sing this line every time I hear the song even when I'm listening real closely"
On the No Doubt album, in "Heart of a Hero" when Petra said "So let your heart be filled with courage and strength of the Lord", BRADLEY thought they said "So let your heart be filled with courage and strength all alone"!
On the No Doubt album, in "Right Place" when Petra said "When your self-reliance fails", BRADLEY thought they said "When you're in the lion's mouth"!
On the No Doubt album, in "Two Are Better Than One" when Petra said "I will pray till you win the fight", BRADLEY thought they said "I will pray for you in the fight"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "They both work equally well"
On the No Doubt album, in "Two Are Better Than One" when Petra said "We sharpen each other", BRADLEY thought they said "We sure got each other"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "Hmmm, two misheard lyrics in the one verse must be some sort of record. Perhaps I should contact the Guinness Book Of Records People."
On the Wake-Up Call album, in "Underneath the Blood" when Petra said "With a burnin' fuse", BRADLEY thought they said "Gonna burn in hell"!
On the Wake-Up Call album, in "Underneath the Blood" when Petra said "I take it to the crimson flow", BRADLEY thought they said "I take it to the crimson flood"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "I think it's the way John sings the lines that confuses me..."
On the Back To The Street album, in "King's Ransom" when Petra said "Some just stood in unbelief when listening to his claims", BRADLEY thought they said "They just stood and laughed at him when listening to his claims"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "This is the way I hear it!!"
On the Captured in Time & Space album, in "Clean" when Petra said "There may be a skeleton hanging overhead", BRADLEY thought they said "Man may be a skeleton hanging off a head"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "That's what I believed the lyric said and told my little brother it was so!"
On the Beat The System album, in "Clean" when Petra said "With no trace of wrong left to right", BRADLEY thought they said "With no trace of wrong left to write"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "Oh well, either way God erases all our sins when we ask Him for forgiveness"
On the Never Say Die album, in "Chameleon" when Petra said "You only want to hide behind your anonymity", BRADLEY thought they said "You only want to hide behind your reme-remedy"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "A Petra lyric as heard and interpreted through Aussie ears, mate!!"
On the Never Say Die album, in "Angel of Light" when Petra said "Angel of light, you're telling me wrong is right", BRADLEY thought they said "Angel of light, you're telling me Nero is right"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "I was eight years old when I got this album and I really thought that's what the lyric said!"
On the Never Say Die album, in "For Annie" when Petra said "Tell her he can free her and her burdens bear", BRADLEY thought they said "Tell her he can free her and her phantom's affair"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "As stated elsewhere on this page, I was only eight years old when I first heard the song!!!"
On the Washes Whiter Than album, in "Magic Mirror" when Petra said "My legs were running with my shoes nailed to the shelf", BRADLEY thought they said "My legs were running with my shoes near to the shell"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "That's how it sounded to me when I first heard the song"
On the Petra album, in "Get Back To The Bible" when Petra said "I don't know, but I've been told", BRADLEY thought they said "I don't know what I've been told"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "ALWAYS READ THE LYRICS! It saves you from looking like a goose."
On the album, in "Onward Christian Soldiers" when Petra said "Onward then, ye people", BRADLEY thought they said "Onward deadly, people"! Here's BRADLEY's lame excuse: "It does help to read the lyrics, especially as this was the first time I had heard the whole song on the album Still Means War!"
