You all can bitch and moan all you like about freakin' spelling, for christ's sake. I'm here for a great song by a beautiful singer who died far too soon.

The US spelling sucks! Irritates the hell outta me !!

I always find myself singing this song around the house when I'm alone

This is one off the best songs around and a fantastic singer.

I like Billy Bragg's version better

1:19-1:33 PERFECTION

As true as that is, there have been mistakes; American pronunciation of "estrogen" is a short e rather than a long e sound, which isn't right. The reason for this mistake is that the original (still used in Britain) is "oestrogen" and the "oe" combination signifies a long e. So by the very fact of trying to make spelling more phonetic, it becomes less :/

[Lrooms]

To be honest, I think this song is just a cheap copy of the Billy Bragg version. And also talking phonetically, "colour" makes more sense, but then again so does "center" rather than "centre".

Thanks for the info!
