Echoed as has been said by the Mercedes 'bends'. It's a clever lyric.<br /><br />In contrast to others' experience of Cornwall, I had a couple of extremely enjoyable stays there, all expenses paid courtesy of work. <br /><br />For three days at a time we'd be on call to approve print at St Ives Roche. This was in the early nineties before laptops and the internet really intruded, and it weas too far to go backwards and forwards to home. Hence leaving plenty of time for a schedule to visit all the sights. I particularly remember one drive taking in the Lizard and then on to Lands End in time for sunset and dinner. <br /><br />Mevagissey was lovely, the Lost Gardens had just been discovered and the sun always shone. We had to keep it a bit quiet back in the office.office pesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516888180507856752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-62323821280432585932011-08-24T05:55:06.452-07:002011-08-24T05:55:06.452-07:00Funnily enough we played Ca Plane Pour Moi on our ...Funnily enough we played Ca Plane Pour Moi on our radio gubbins last night, which must be open to as many mis-hearings as The Israelites..<br /><br />One line I'd always pegged as 'a sparrow riding girly bra' turns out to be 'un sparadrap, une gueule de bois' <br /><br />Have you heard the Moog Cookbook refit of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmQQN9lrezk" rel="nofollow">Hotel</a>Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-11067039502245648872011-08-24T04:45:54.433-07:002011-08-24T04:45:54.433-07:00You're right, TT.

The second line of that verse should be “She got the Mercedes bends” - the pun being intended to echo the ‘twisted’ in the first line.<br /><br />Yours pedantically...TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953081013855148796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-85985352191794736582011-08-24T03:00:10.769-07:002011-08-24T03:00:10.769-07:00Stargazey Pie?

I always thought it was something like 'her mouth stiffened and twitch-ed', which in my view is the far superior lyric. Hotel California reminds me of my sister getting together with the bloke she eventually married. They'd monopolise the record player, and sit around smoking cheroots and nodding wisely and pretending they were bloody Californian. <br /><br />And I've only had one holiday in Cornwall too. July 1992. The weather was so bad everything was swathed in thick mist. I can remember shivering in three jumpers at Tintagel, and thinking that I'd never, EVER holiday in the UK again.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-16079822081145962662011-08-24T02:03:05.554-07:002011-08-24T02:03:05.554-07:00Ha, I never knew it was "her mind is Tiffany-...Ha, I never knew it was "her mind is Tiffany-twisted". There are loads of songs with lyrics like that which I've never bothered to check. With a lot of them, I have my own version in my head, which I'll probably stick with forever.<br /><br />I've always wanted to go to Mousehole ever since Sarah Greene paid it a visit early in her Blue Peter career and taught us it was pronounced 'Mouzle'.
