Thread Name: Obfuscatory vocabulary.
Subject: RE: Obfuscatory vocabulary.
For a song like "Country Life" if you're not sure what all the words mean you can always change a couple of them, although it might change the meaning a tiny bit, too:

I hates to rise when the sun she rises
Earlye in the morning
And I hates to hear the small birds singing
Merrily upon the Leyland
And a pox on the life of a country boy
Who's allergic to the new-mown hay (from Redmond O'Connell)

Oh, bother, that damn Land Rover is still in there. I guess whoever did this knew what it meant.
