Thread Name: Lyric drift.
Subject: RE: Lyric drift.
Dear Folks,

I most humbly beg your collective pardon for the extra posts. I wish I knew what caused them, so I could prevent any future occurrences.

One form of lyric drift that usually bothers me is the elimination of inversions, i.e. "slowly, slowly. came she up...," to "slowly, slowly, she came up." Seems to buff off the nice "antique patina."
