Jon,

As a principle, I don't deny your right to see those lyrics, and you obviously share my opinion about them. But given that even the title of the song was obviously dodgy, the onus was on those claiming it to be innocent fun to provide them.

I feel sad that it was left to Aine to post them. It was clearly going to be very distressful for her. She felt driven to say she would do it, but only if nobody else had done so within a day. She was clearly hoping someone else would step in but that didn't happen.

In her position I would feel the need of an hours-long bath after handling that material.

Regarding your second point, you must know something I don't. However, to judge from the gaps in the lyrics as posted, and the insertion of the word 'unintelligible' in brackets on one line, it looks to me like they were transcribed from a recording. Not that it really matters.
