Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Some Of My Best Friends Are Trains"
Misheard Lyrics:
And they all just want to look as rich as Hell like Tamburlaine.
Original Lyrics:
And they all just want to look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Sean Miller

The song was originally on a bootleg and had to try to work out the lyrics for myself. Not having the faintest idea at the time who Richard Hell or Tom Verlaine was, I was never going to work out the real lyrics, and the alternative sort of made sense.
