Subject: RE: Dodgy Artistic Licence?
I gave the dictionary definition of "conspire" in an earlier post, and it doesn't fit the context of the song.

Feel free to be more right than dictionary.com - they are only human. Though they is a larger number than one opinion. But do tell us which English you speak.

It's not as if songs, poems, or novels are the lexicographical equivalent of a photograph. They are literary paintings. If you want precision, try reading a dictionary, the plot is somewhat thin, though author explains every word in detail.

Don't look in more than one, though, they do differ at times.

Sturgeon's Law nine tenths of everything is crud - and that goes for opinions IMNSHO.
