As I recently noted elsewhere on this board he now sings the IYCRMM line, "the feelings that you lack," as..
"the feelings, that WE lack.."..
and earlier in the song, "just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell," now:
"the kind ANY DRUGSTORE SELLS.."

A few years back during 14 Karot Gold
he started changing, "set'm loose and let'm roll," to:
"SHAKE'm loose.."..

In My Fashion spoken part:
"Do I look like the kind 'a guy," became:
"NOW do I look TO YOU, like the kind OF A guy.."
and at the end of that phrase, "is it any diff'rent now than it was then," became:
"CUZ IT AINT NO diff'rent now than it was BACK then!".. etc..

Cotton Jenny, "no such thing as bad times," has become:
"no such TIME as bad times.."

Beautiful..
"when you hold me tight," is now sung:
"and in the darkest night.."
and from the same song:
"telling you with all my might, you're beautiful tonight," now:
"THAT'CHOR beautiful.."

EMR's "she's a rollin down," became:
"SHE'LL BE rollin down.."
(I know I'm really quibbling now; sorry)..

Old Dan's Records' "We're all here we've all got dates," became:
"IT'S A SATURDAY NIGHT AND we've all got dates.."

Restless..
"we will be returning to the things that we love best," became:
"the things that we DO best.."
(or is it just "the things.. we do best.."..?
can't quite remember)..

(you guys are starting to figure out about now I'm bored out of my frickin mind here in this dumb lifeless cubicle today etc.)..?

Anyway, onward..

and I'm a little sketchy on this one so correct me if I'm wrong. Blackberry Wine: "I'd never cheat her or mistreat her," now:
"BEAT her or mistreat her.."..?
(maybe I'm just imagining that one; not sure)..

Sea of Tranquility's "I'll show you the sea," is now:
"WE'LL show you.."
(I know I'm such a geek aren't I?)..

and I believe in Waiting For You, he's changed, "Many long days, many long years," to:
"Many long days, many LOST years.."

That's all I can think of..
I'm atta here..

Truly yours,
- just another victim..
of his minstrelsy.

etc..
