It makes it a darned hard song to sing. And performers don't have any "edge" on this discussion. Anyone can like a song.
One last thing: Ralph McTell wrote both Streets of London and From Clare to Here. I get lots of requests for both of them in Irish Pubs. I'd say Streets is English and Clare is Irish--by subject. They both are FOLK songs.
