GUEST,Joerg Lyr Add: I'm Asking You Sergeant, Where's Mine? (64* d) RE: Lyr Add: I'm Asking You Sergeant Where's Mine 23 Sep 00


?????????

This song is nice - I know it from one of the more 'official' CD's of the Dubliners, 'A-greying', which is full of really good songs. 'I'm asking you...' seems a little pale among all those jewels, but when I'm listening to average music and suddenly this song shows up I'm inclined to give pardon for pardon...

Some people sometimes tell me that my english is excellent. - Well, if that's an expression for at least knowing what good english is without being able to perform it they are right. And indeed I can even understand about 70 to 80 percent of what is told here in the mudcat. DOWN ON YOUR KNEES, YOU UNEDUCATED 'PLEBS'.

But even an extremely knowledged genius like me (at least one of them all: me) can not understand the above lyrics. Can anybody who really knows english explain to me what is said there? This needn't include an explanation of how to 'mend an adventure'; I suppose that that's an error and 'meant' is meant (really? or is there something I just don't know?), but the rest isn't that easy to figure out.

Have mercy with us poor foreigners
