When I was at university I bought a single called 'Inbetweener'by the now defunct band Sleeper. Louise sang a line which I firmly believed went:
"He dreams of a Roller, She dreams of a basket to weigh."
I understand now that the last section of this was actually "She dreams of a fast get away". All power to basket weighing!
