Because I think that Travis have got the title of their Squeeze cover wrong going by this and elsewhere online:-
If it is a cover then surely it should be 'the' instead 'a'.
On the vinyl which I received in the post this morning and everywhere around here it is spelt differently, as in;
Pulling Mussels (From A Shell)
Although those are the lyrics, the actual song is 'the', as confirmed here:-
Pulling Mussels (From The Shell) Lyrics
They do it down on camber sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy
Squinting faces at the sky
A Harold Robbins paperback
Surfers drop their boards and dry
And everybody wants a hat
But behind the Chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Shrinking in the sea so cold
Topless ladies look away
A he-man in a sudden shower
Shelters from the rain
You wish you had a motor boat
To pose around the harbour bar
And when the sun goes off to bed
You hook it up behind the car
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
The coach drivers stand about
Looking at a local map
About the boy he's gone away
Down to next door's caravan
Incidentally, You Bring Me Down on the Selfish Jean CD is excellent, well worth buying.
I bought the vinyl bundle but can't play them, but I just found Pulling Mussels (From The Shell), spelt incorrectly, in the UK iTunes store, sounds a really good cover worth checking out.
Has anybody found a link to download Is That Love? anywhere yet please?
