I'm pretty sure you are refering to "Suffering," with its chorus of "i've been suffering/i've been suffering/i've been suffering/up around the bend." Its on the self titled Frank Black and the Catholics album.

That's one for the misheard lyrics thread I think. Unless he played a secret song about surfing that only a select few have heard 
"The arc of triumph" |

I heard about your happiness
And all the plans that you're involved in
Since you're gone you'd be impressed
To know I, too, have been evolving
But I don't think you comprehend
I've been surfing
Yeah, I've been surfing
Guess I'll be surfing up along the wave
This board is a part of me
I can feel the advancing sea
This ride it is the light of my world
Well, I found me a new friend
I've been surfing
Yeah, I've been surfing
Guess I'll be surfing up along the wave
I hung around in a surfer bar
They threw me on the cement
Slept all night under the stars
Until the tide came in
I brushed by you in the supermart
And I had me a touch of what's real
It was real when you crushed me with your steel
Black surf rolls into land
Who says anyway these squalls are hurting?
I am a surfer of the lethal kind
So keep away, this board is thirsting
No, I don't think that it's the end of this surfing
I been surfin'
I been surfin'
And I'll be surfing
Up along the wave
 "Now you're officially my woman. Kudos. I can't say I don't envy you." |

Classic, Dean. Do I hear a new podcast theme? Misheard-lyrics-turned-rewritten-song.
 Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? |

I think that qualifies not only as misheard lyric - but also a crackpot theory
I'll probably be singing "I've been surfing" now every time I hear it
that's great - "I've been SURFING!!" - I think the man himself would approve
this is one of those tunes - like a few others - that didn't grab me until I heard it live - then it sunk in. "I'm not Dead I'm in Pittsburgh" was like that.
And for all you naysayers about Honeycomb, many of those tunes are the same way - just take a listen to the solo acoustic version of "My Life Is In Storage" - and make sure your buddies are there to see it - cuz you just might get converted!! |
