Alternate?  Yep.
Incorrect?   Well, maybe... but so what?
Enjoyable?  Definitely!

I never really thought about it in this way except for the obvious space
references in Hello Earth, so I put the new remaster on under the stars a
few nights ago after reading your interp -- and really enjoyed a fresh look
at TNW.  (So don't let a few naysayers get in the way...)

I still think, for example, that Pull Out The Pin makes much more sense
sung from the perspective of a female, but *EVERYBODY* says it's a male
soldier.
