Can I propose that "shiver in responsibility" is actually "she won't live responsibly"?

You can if you like. I checked a whole load of sites when I got those lyrics though and, bar one or two more creative bits of spelling, everyone seems to agree on what the lyrics are.

'Responsibly' leaves something hanging in the air, and I'm pretty sure it's an 'ity'.

EDIT: It's more obvious on the Icicle Works version.

Ean u probably get sick of hearing this but u really are a star. the cream rises to the top yet again

(right enough ares licking time to plug in and let rip)

(thats plug in my guitar sarcy boy! nothing else)

I love how eveyone (and when I say eveyone I mean Nige) thinks they know how my brain works now so they make their own punchlines up as to how they think its something I'd come up with................................its true though I would have said something along those lines.

No never, feel free to continue.

I thought it was "I'd lose my mind if she were a responsibility"

Sarc... I can't believe you missed the error...

'Stop me'

as opposed to

'Stop us'

I'm not usually so pedantic.....


...maybe i am actually

Oi Cheeky fucker I'm not the only pedant on this board y'know

Sorry dude - I didn't mean to question you.
