Misunderstood Lyrics

Listening late again on a Friday night... Just heard Senses Working Overtime, by XTC.
The line "And all the world is football-shaped"... used to cause me all kinds of mental contortions, until I realized a few years ago, oh yeah, they're British. They're not talking about footballs, they're talking about Soccer balls... I think about that every time I hear the song.
Too much exposure to CFL and NFL in my youth warped my world view
