Shula,

Aye, I guess those lyrics were a bit on the strong side! I was having a bad day - besides which, I wasn't thinking about my current man but a previous relationship! There are other versions of that song and they are a bit more derrogative, but I think I was talking in general about Irish songs and Women's viewpoint. Being written some centuries ago (?), they tend to make out that women are either feeble or false, buxom or frail, lots of stereo types - I dunno, do they still apply?

I'd love to hear more about Leprosy and Gotta Zipper if anyone knows them.

Slainte agus saol agat, (Cheers and to your health)

Laoise.
