I can believe Eric isn't all that put out about receiving royalties from the Furey version, but I did hear him say (in an aside, on stage at Tonder Festival), 'I wish the Fureys had bothered to ring me up to get the words right before they recorded No Man's Land!' or words to that effect. He's definitely got a point, I think, especially as the new words changed the whole meaning and background of the song. That can't be right.
