Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sixteen Stone
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sixteen Stone
Of course it wouldn't work in America would it?

They don't seem to use stones as a measure of weight, just pounds. Which I find totally confusing, since I don't know my sixteen times table to enable convert the pounds to stones, not without a piece of paper handy...

But "You got 256 pounds...", which is what it works out at, just wouldn't do in the song.
