OF FECKING COURSE!!  THANK YOU!

<with a Yiddish accent>
Twenty *years* I am listening to this album and I never heard it that well!

I always heard "the gold endive" and wondered why she was eating bad
lettuce?

Please excuse my MG moment.  (Hey, MG!)

But seriously, James Leahy, that is a nice bit of scholarship, there.
Thanks.

>>Watching three rings in the sun
The golden dive, the fatted flake
And sizzle in the [their?] mink oil

In the DJRD songbook there is a period after 'sun.' The vinyl fold-out
does not include a period; nor does the Complete Poems & Lyrics. At one
point I thought that the three grammatical constructions after 'three
rings' were 'dive', 'flake', and 'sizzle' and that they were all nouns
and that they were all examples of the 'rings'. But now I think they are
three verbs with two subjects:

"The golden dive.
 The fatted flake
 and
 sizzle in their mink oil.
