when i was about 3 or 4 i used to think that the lyrics to madness's "our house" were "our house in the middle of ostrich". I thought ostrich was a place somewhere in australia and i also thought that i could see it from my front room window, and that it would take a matter of minutes to walk to australia. very unlikely, being as we live in the uk.
