'Venus and Serena' by Super Furry Animals. From Phantom Power. Actually a song about 2 pet tortoises according to Gruff. He explained it thus:
"It's about a child, who can't communicate with his elders, growing up with two pet tortoises called Venus and Serena. But he feels that the reptiles understand. I suppose its similar to 'Liberty Belle' in that sense, in that in this day and age the turtle seems to take on an image of wisdom compared to the people elected to governors. It uses tennis vocabulary to make the point. Venus and Serena have beautiful names and they seem to have exemplary powers. I think its about making pictures in people's minds."
Ah yes of course!
