As far as I'm concerned this article is ridiculous, I don't think for a minute any of these lines are what the average listener hears (except for maybe the 6th one), but I'm posting it anyway to hear what you think.. Personally I think the author just made this up, nobody thinks these are the words. Below are excerpted just the  lines in question, I think we already know what songs they come from, but if not see the full article:

Lyric: "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes"
What listeners think they hear: “A girl with colitis goes by”

Lyric: "Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye"
What listeners think they hear: "Yellow mud of custard or yellow butter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye"

Lyric: "She's got a ticket to ride"
What listeners think they hear: "She's got a tick in her eye"

Lyric: "The banker never wears a mac"
What listeners think they hear: "The banker never wears a mask"

Lyric: "Paperback writer"
What listeners think they hear: "Take the back right turn"

Lyric: "Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace"

What listeners think they hear: "Desmond has a barrel in the marketplace"

Many songs have I heard something other than the actual lyric, too many to mention but just for an example the song by Manfred Mann "Blinded By The Light" I heard:
"blinded by the light, rapped up like a douche and in a runner in the night" Endless examples like that.
