Subject: RE: Poor grammar in lyrics
When Cliff Richard's hit "Travelling Light" was released in Spain,they called "The Light That Travels" !! Apparently,the concept of travelling without much luggage ,and the way of expressing it,in Spain,is rather different.

" I Can't Get No Satisfaction" means,obviously, "I CAN get SOME Satisfaction " .....doesn't it ?? But does it matter ??

Another "Knowed & Road " combination ;

"And the only home I ever knowed
Was a suitcase and the open road " ....Delightful!! (Buffy St Marie).

"Roses are red,and violets are purple;
Sugar is sweet,and so's maple syrple " !! Stunning !! (Roger Miller).

Sometimes,it just wouldn't seem right if it was "Correct".
