    Gaelic. They speak a version of it in the Scottish isles too. Similar to Welsh.

    Eyeball

    Four skulls in a square of bushes
    Fireworks now and all were wed
    They loved and walked and fed on garbage
    Moved pool tables with bad backs

    Since I hurt myself
    I feel so much better
    Suck my eyeball

    Alcohol was pouring through the victims
    As on the rocks they laid their breath
    Alcohol was fed to the mummies
    As they all were happily led to death

    Take yourself a photo of my backside
    Printed up on the front page
    Not too sweet, not too strong
    Pins, combs, picks and magic sage

  • Hundreds. Well, more accurate to say countless.
    One of my pet peeves is vocalists who don't annunciate clearly.
    Another is the way music is mixed by sound technicians, both in recordings and live.
    The tendency everywhere is to emphasise the instrumentation so the voice gets lost.
    I can't understand the lyrics in most music.
    If I really like a song, I look up the lyrics on line.
    Sometimes I will read it while listening - and then I find that the sound is still no clearer.
    When the meaning is something poetic and interesting, so much is lost that need not be.
    If it's a song in a foreign language, I relax and just listen to the human voice as if it were another instrument. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 20, 2017 6:32 PM MDT

    "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night". In the original Bruce Springsteen version, it was "cut loose like a deuce". I prefer Manfred's voice, but Bruce's diction was clearer.
