Subject: RE: Lyrics: And every night... (Cat o'Nine Tails)
No one has opinions? It may either be autobiographical or not. It is, in my opinion, not implausible (understatement) that a popular calypsonian with a reputation built on his many romances and rough-edged character- a reputation referred to by the Duke of Iron in his cover of "Small Island"- Invader is referred to as "saying that he made his name fooling around with the women in Port-of Spain", a line with clear implications, would be "oopsed", as well as (possibly) the father of illegitimate children. Does anyone else share this opinion?
