Suspect Lyrics


I am happily transferring my CDs over to the computer at the moment. "A" was instantly attracted to the "Beautiful South" album "blue is the colour" because of the little boy on the front. She wanted to hear the songs and I had no reason to say no, so I put the album on and turned the volume up. Well I say no reason to say no. I don't know if you know this album, more especially the first track "Don't Marry Her". You may remember it from being in the charts a few years ago. When played on the radio the chorus ran with the line "Don't marry her, have me". To be honest, and I remembered this approximately 1 second too late, the CD is worded slightly differently. I don't want to shock anyone so I am not going to use the word that replaces "have" but suffice it to say that it begins with "f" and ends with "k". So witness me singing "have" as loud as I can to cover over a word that I am not yet quite prepared to hear my 4 year old saying.

Oh, I didn't know that..you live and learn..I always thought 'Don't marry her, have me' was a bit weak. Now I know the truth!!!!

Lol! I've also witnessed the Dog Collars and Rabbit Corpses household singing very loudly over a certain part of a James Blunt song where the radio version of 'flying high' is similarly different on the CD.

Of course playing small children James Blunt songs might be considered child abuse in and of itself ;-)
