"Ummm," I said, trying to hide my embarrassment by vaguely kicking
my feet through some nearby leaves, "err yes!".
Well done Norm, I must have had brain blank on missing the typo!

No need, Wieland already did this, and it was decided (I thought) that
the Phoenix Broadcast, the place where apparently DJ XX XX was reading
from an original playlist, was IT. The other names (like "Who is Sylvia")
was invented by bootleggers who just had the recordings (we assume).

Here is the title mapping (as I have):
Phoenix broadcast		Home Demos		Others

It Hurts Me			A Rose Growing Old	Feeling Like a Waltz
Stranded at the Moonbase	Keeping Me Waiting
Surrender into the Roses	Coming Up		Camilla
Rinfi the Gypsy			Playing Canasta in Cold Rooms
On Fire Inside a Snowball	Snow			Hot in the Ice
Dali				Ferry me Over
Where Are the Lionhearts	Lionhearts		On the Rocks
The Gay Farewell		Eddie the Queen
Something Like a Song		In My Garden		Something Like a Song
Come Closer to Me Babe		Goodnight Baby		Who is Sylvia?
So Soft				You're Soft
Rare Flower		Don't See Why I Shouldn't	Pick the Rare Flower
While Davy Dozed		Davy

I think the other tracks are ok.

So you can see why some have said what they did, but we believe that
the original Kate title was as read out on the Phoenix Broadcast, so
sorry if I was so "matter of fact", but I just thought it had been
agreed. I understand these are including in the FAQ too!

After reading what she wrote, I see, also listening too,
ignore me I always make mistakes when it comes to gender.

I can see why, it does seem to break the rules of other examples, and
my online dictionary "told" me that it should have just one 'l'.
I've just checked all my real dictionaries and the UK ones only have
two 'l's, my American (Webster) has both. Since Kate is from England,
I'm going for two too! Thanks for making me look.

After playing back a few times (repeatedly), I hear:
	uh nenny English ...
ie I hear the N. Also a standard bus is slightly higher than the
surrounding area, especially if it's a doubledecker, you really do
look out the windows into the gardens. ie "in". You don't really
look "at" a garden, unless you are studying it. But when quickly
passing, like on a bus, you just look in them.

See Phoenix broadcast list above.

See Norm's statement, ie time for me to eat humble pie!

No probs.

>     That would be brilliant, thank you!

Expect a private email containing what we seem to have agreed on,
hopefully the format is easily HTML'able, it should be!

I hope we all get a real idea of the exact lyrics, I think there are
just a few places where there is a problem now (at last),
