Ive noticed Bat 2 has a few lines and phrases that seem odd or seem to have been censored. I guess this was to ensure it didn't get a parental advisory sticker, but tell me if you agree with some of my findings:

Anything For Love:

"sex, and drums, and rock & roll" - why wasn't it "sex, and DRUGS, and Rock & Roll"? seems like a censor to me. DRUMS is such an odd thing to put in with sex and rock & roll.

It Just Won't Quit

"Is it richer than diamonds
Or just a little cheaper than spit?" - I always felt the line should've been "cheaper than shit". I dunno if that was Jim's original line, but I think it would've had a better ring to it.

Objects

"I'll never know why she disappeared" - this line always bugged me. You go from a accident, to abuse, to a random disappearance. I always thought the song couldve been more dark if it confronted suicide. I mean the song covers child abuse, why not the whole damn package. Its probably not a censored line, but I always felt it should've been "I'll never know why she hung herself". It would've added an extra layer to an already perfect song.

Everything Louder

"I don't give a damn about my lack of educate" - I've always wondered if the F-word was used instead of "damn".

"of all the crap they're gonna put on the page" - you can tell "crap" was added later. This line obviously used to be "of all the shit they're gonna put on the page". Ashame. I think "shit" works a lot better. Its out of character in the song. What tough-ass wasted youth would use the word "crap"?

Well theres that. thought Id share my possible censored findings.
