Misheard song lyrics

[meelie]

They've been playing The Breeders song "Huffer" on triple J recently and yesterday was the first time that I caught the name of the song and the artist. I hate it when that happens, when you hear a song on the radio and you go 'hey! neat song! I wonder who it's by/what's it called/what's the name of the album?' AND THEN THEY DON'T TELL YOU. Or they announced just before you turned on the radio and you come in halfway through the song. Which is what happened to me about 10 times with "Huffer". I knew I wasn't singing the right words, or at least I was pretty sure that the lyrics weren't actually "ah ah! Tommy Turtle! ah ah! Tom! ah ah! Tommy Turtle!" but that's what it sounded like. Really. Totally.



Na na na na na na
Ta ah ah ah ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Da da da, da da da
Da da, da da da

Toil toil toil til I get sick
I try reverse, but I'm not that quick
Chained to the ground
No flyin', for you
If you want it bad
You gotta steal your own fuel
Torn
Toiled and troubled

Da da da da da da
Da da da ah ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Da da da da da da da da
Da-ah
Da da da!
Toil toil toil
Till I get sick
I try reverse but I'm
Not that quick
Chained to the ground
No flyin' for you
If you want it bad
You gotta steal your own fuel
Torn
Toiled and troubled




"Torn. Toiled and troubled" does make more sense I suppose. But I kinda liked the idea of a song called Tommy Turtle. I am odd.
