Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Plastic Paddy (Eric Bogle)
Subject: RE: LYR & MUS REQ: Plastic Paddy
Eric Bogle Official Website gives the "misheard" lyrics just as in Sorcha's post, though I would agree with the various previous posters as to which songs poor PP is attempting.
The line about his "search for Celtic clich�", however, is as Big Mick has rendered it.
My take on this is that EB is trying to convey something of the horrors of PP's performance.
