Radiohead's never-recorded-in-a-studio track "True Love Waits" is a favorite of Radiohead fans, but they can't agree on one of the lyrics. It seems pretty obvious to me that the line beginning with "I'll drown my beliefs" ends with "to have your babies." Why? Because the name of the song is a reference to an American Christian abstinence movement, so this lyric turns that on its head, proclaiming a kind of twisted devotion in which someone would abandon something they presumably held dear for the sake of another person. However, our old friend Google-as-corpus offers this:
"drown my beliefs to have your babies" - 113 hits
"drown my beliefs to have you be in peace" - 208 hits
I don't know if this proves anything, because I still think I'm right.
