Story about this misheard lyric by: Patrick Only now realized I'd been hearing it wrong. It makes more sense now: the verse is talking about the Trevi fountain in Rome. But I had somehow connected "coins" with "trading room." |

Hidden Messages:
"This Strange Engine"
This is the last track on the album of the same name, but if you keep it running after it finishes there is a long gap followed by some hysterical laughter. It happened because some band members had just got back after a night out and decided to record the lead vocal, but just kept cracking up. It's a bit scary if you're not expecting it to do that at the end of the album
