Well, no....really, I can't. I musn't! > Oh, go on, go on, go on, GO ON, be a pal. Oh, okay then, if you put it that way...but it's rather mundane, really. The song is known as 'On Horseback', the fan-named finale on Ommadawn (so this 'song' really doesn't have a name). The silly lyric is (well, the whole song is silly, actually) 'Some make chaos (cars) and others, toys.' American fans tend to hear 'cars' while Europeans hear 'chaos'. Unfortunately, neither choice is more sensible than the other in the context of the song so it's not obvious which it is. Well, I did say it wasn't very interesting! :) > >own of the 'Xcuse me while I kiss this guy' Jimi hendrix variety. :) > Yeah, well, what's wrong with THAT lyric? Nothing; I like it better than 'kiss the sky'. ;-) - --Omega ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 21:10:36 -0800 From: "Kevin & Robyn (Brott & Moore)" Subject: Re: Alloy: We now return to our regularly scheduled program.
