"He couldn't take no more ABUSE, so he shot down the congregation"

"You can't talk to a man, with a shotgun in his hand"

"It was a very good year for the undertaker".

Not because I didn't like it. Just that nearly everyone I knew already had it.
I guess I did have it technically as I married into owning it.
My wife had it when we met & later we updated to the CD.
So technically I owned it, but it was really my wife's record.
We did "I Feel The Earth Move" as a pocket list a few times, just to amuse ourselves. The guitar player knew the words.
