Misheard Lyrics:

Look ahead there's a fast giant focus on it
I won't be fooled by your sheeps in a mattress
It must have been just a cardboard cat of love
??????????????????? <-I usually just mumbled something about a record man here.

Original Lyrics:

Look ahead as we pass, try and focus on it
I won't be fooled by a cheap cinematic trick
It must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
Top-forty cast off from a record stand
