hmmm, does "the jack" by AC/DC count? the version on Live from 1992 features a lyrical overhaul that leaves even less to the imagination.

Divine Comedy, Songs of Love. "But while they search for a mate, my type hibernate in bedrooms above" has been altered to "masturbate".

xpost Live versions of The Jack always left nothing to the imagination. See If You Want Blood … It's not a 1992 thing.

New Order's "True Faith," on record, has the verse:
When I was a very small boy Very small boys talked to me Now that we've grown up together They're afraid of what they see
But live they regularly reverted back to the original lyrics:
When I was a very small boy Very small boys talked to me Now that we've grown up together They're all taking drugs with me

Franz Ferdinand's "Michael" with 'so come and dance with me' changed to 'so come all over me'.The Dresden Dolls' "Coin-Operated Boy" with 'I can even take him in the bath' changed to 'I can even fuck him in the ass'.

Ha, I had If You Want Blood when I was 12 and never had High Voltage so I never knew there were tamer lyrics (that actually make "the jack" make sense).

That VU live recording where Lou says, "...that means Puerto Rican" -- after singing the "PR shoes" line (in "I'm Waiting for the Man").

Blur "Beetlebum", on record it was slightly ambiguous whether Albarn was singing "He's on it" or "Piss on it" - less so live, when he often changes that part to "Cum on, cum on, cum on it"

The Hold Steady, in "Cattle and the Creeping Things:""I heard Gideon screwed you in Denver," which has a clever slant rhyme, becomes "I heard Gideon fucked you in Denver," which makes it seem like 14 year old Craig finally gets to swear on stage and his mom can't stop him.Also, same song features the couplet "We got to the part about the exodus / up to then I only knew it was a movement of the people." Made more appropriate to the thread topic, as Craig enunciates it "movement of JAAAAAAAAH people"

There’s a live version of “Blue Monday” that changes ...I see a ship in the harborI can and shall obeyBut if it wasn't for your misfortuneI'd be a heavenly person today... the word “misfortune” to “big penis.” You can’t make this stuff up.

The lyrics of St. Vincent's "Prince Johnny" on the studio album go "...and bragged when and where and who you're gonna bed next" - presumably on the off chance someone might want to play the song on the radio because live it's always "...gonna fuck next". Also there's like a five minute guitar solo in there as well.

God, in my misspent youth, when I listened to early Marillion there was a line in one song where Fish proclaimed 'This is Brixton chess', when played live he would sing the line and in the gap before the next would bark 'BLACK WHITE BLACK WHITE' even as a 12-year old I'd be rolling my eyes, what a clod.
