Subject: RE: Absurdities in songs - any examples?
Shame on you all, you missed the most obvious (and widely sung in folk clubs) line - from "Blacksmith":

"...with his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever..."

Clever? CLEVER? "he looked like a thug" perhaps, "thicker than two short planks" maybe, but "clever"?
