As stated by someone already, lyrics are easy to follow.
You're absolutely right - but it may not always be a good thing.
My wife was amused to discover last night (over 40 years after first buying the record!) that the lyric for Chuck Berry's "Tulane" has one word in a line that is not what the usual sources say it is. They usually give it as "Get me out this funky jail". They're wrong.
Worse, this morning, I was playing "Purcell in The Ale House" (an album of 17th Century "catches" and "rounds", i.e. light songs for private performance, often by young men, in "noble" houses).
I knew HP wasn't among the angels whose praises he so eloquently rang in his music but I wasn't prepared to hear staid English choral group Pro Cantone Antiqua singing a hitherto-indecipherable line (no lyrics in the sleeve note) to a song called "Once, twice, thrice I Julia tried, the scornful puss as oft denied" was in fact "Kiss my arse" sung repeatedly in the most delicate harmony one could wish for.
Whatever next?
