Good examples, Jim.

Let's not forget that it's been common in song and poetry for a long time to couple ending words that are SPELLED as though they'd rhyme but DON'T actually - at least not in contemporary practice.

E.g., we Yanks think nothing of pairing "rain" with "again," even though we who live south of the Canadian border don't pronounce them as rhyming words.

Going back to the Chris Williamson thing of "rhyming" the words "warrior" and "bore ya," while I think that may be the weakest line in "Song Of The Soul," the way Chris sings it -- the way most of us often talk -- it DOES rhyme.   

Leonard Cohen, for example, uses all sorts of 'rhyming slang' (and near-rhymes) all the way through his (IMO) masterpiece "Hallelujah! E.g., "before I knew ya," "someone who outdrew ya," etc.      

What did annoy me and grate on me is when some people reprinted Chris Williamson's lyrics as:
"Come to your life like a warrior.
Nothing will bore YER."   
Now THAT is gawdawful!!
