The band claims it        MP> is not, but it sure fits the lyrics!              As I said, I paid little mind to lyrics back then. It was the        music that was most amazing to me.              Now.. as I dig into the lyrics that is made so convenient        through various sites, some of it seems very weird:              She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"       Though we were miles at sea.       I pointed out this detail       And forced her to agree,       Saying, "You must be the mermaid       Who took King Neptune for a ride. "       And she smiled at me so sweetly       That my anger straightway died.              WTF? :/ "shore leave" yet "miles at sea" What does that        actually mean?              "took Neptune for a ride" == sexual innuendo?       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Mobile?
