The kooks, naive. I thought the lyrics were

“I know, she knows, that I’m not from Nebraska”

Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Will Smith)

“shooting some b-ball outside of the school” sounded more like “shooting some people outside of the school” to my young ears :nervous:

I got my first real sex dream,
Bought it at the five and diiiime,


Never made any sense to me.
Adams said that the 69 was a metaphor for making love and not the year 1969, so your lyrics does kind of make sense in a way.

I remember as a kid hearing Against All Odds and thinking it was "against the law"

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the law


I thought it was about people seperated by legal issues :wenger:

An old flatmate was sure than Nina Simone was saying “horse and a man, where you gon’ run to” rather than “Oh Sinnerman”…. Would not hear otherwise

I've just discovered that the lyrics really are "what's she gonna look like with a chimney on her'.
