Until very recently I thought that the lyrics to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman were "city lights spread out before us, your arms and legs wrapped round my shoulders..." Instead of "your arms felt nice wrapped round my shoulders"
Can't imagine how I thought someone could drive a fast car in that position....
