      Mmm… love Wild Wood. :-) I’m not so familiar with the lyrics, though I think I’ve got them noted somewhere.

      On the whole I’m not familiar with the lyrics to most songs. I had to use one of those lyric finder sites to check the ones above were all correct. In fact, I must check a line from a song used in an advert at the moment. It’s the ad for sofas, and I’m sure one of the lines is ‘I’d like a brand new ass…’ but that can’t be right, can it?

      What’s this card thing ?

      Okay, but…what the hell is Orgonon? (I love Kate Bush–in fact, just seeing that line makes me want to put on some of her music right now…thanks for reminding me!)

      I wondered about Orgonon too – so I Googled it. According to Wikipedia, it’s the name of a ranch belonging to Wilhelm Reich, who was the subject of the song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgonon
