Don't you people buy CD's? The disc has the lyrics printed very clearly, with almost all of the words correct. Probably the cassette does too, and possibly even the record (if anyone still buys those). Or do you treat it as some kind of puzzle, "how long will it take us to figure out what she's saying?" Or don't you trust Kate's versions of her lyrics after all that "swallow" business? --The "Dan Efran" Sphere P.S. Similarly, in response to another message I saw on here, it IS "a picture of Hitler"--at least according to the printed lyrics.
