I thought we had managed to clear this up with the Gideon thing?

Basically, all I'm trying to say, is why should the literal translation 
mean anything, when we all know what Stuart (who wrote the song AND the 
title), has proclaimed it to mean something else?

I always thought that songs were for the listener to take their own 
meanings from, and not some textbook?

I promise this is the last I have to say on this ... :)

p.s. The Modern Rock Song EP is now going to be released next year ... 
along with the new LP and the w/wide (except UK & Eire) compilation LP, 
so save those pennies!

Cheers,
Katrina.
