I don't necessarily think she messed up, it just sounds better with er saying ice instead of diamonds tbh.

she did mess it up because its meant to be Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the drug LSD

The Who: Talkin' 'bout my generation // Talking about my generation (Brooklyn Baby)

she did mess it up because its meant to be Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the drug LSD

 

I'm sure she knows the original quote and its meaning but just wants to reference it. (It's another discussion, but John was very adamant that it was a coincidence, crediting Sean with the quote based on a drawing he made.)

George Thorogood: bad to the bone (you can be the boss)

[fraises 94]

she did mess it up because its meant to be Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the drug LSD

might be intentional, though, because ice is slang for meth.

Elvis: "In blue suede shoes, but it was a cover for all of the trouble..." (Hollywood's Dead)

 

btw I don't think I'm on fire is that of an intertextuality, I mean, it's not like Bruce invented it, it's a common phrase... also bad to the bone is a popular expression, so to say it's from Thorogood's song is somewhat far-fetched, idk
