I'd say these are the official lyrics, as Vernon typed them up himself. If he saw fit to put in some errors to throw people off, that would be his prerogative but I'm not gonna try and correct this. In most cases the official lyrics sound more correct than what I heard in the songs before reading them.
As for meaning: One thing I noticed in the beginning stanza of the song is that the two words "fide" and "fane" look like abbreviations. Of course, fane could be spelled other ways for other meanings (fain or feign). But "confide" and "profane" sort of fit in the contexts. And another thing: this interpretation puts an extra emphasis on the parts that are taken out, "con" and "pro", which would add their own meaning.
Wow, that's a keen observation you've made there. I wouldn't be surprised if you are correct. Only a genius like Justin could write something on that level.

Just some random musing.
