Steely Dan, "Reelin' In The Years"
Misheard Lyrics:
Are you reelin' in the yeast
Stowin' away the thyme
Are you gatherin' up the geese
Have you had enough of mine?
Stowin' away the thyme
Are you gatherin' up the geese
Have you had enough of mine?
Original Lyrics:
Are you reelin' in the year
s Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine?
s Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine?
I literally thought that the lyrics were comparing someone with solitary (and perhaps, fleeting) fortune or pleasure to a farmer during harvesting season.
