Do the front row tickets for their performances advise patrons to wear sou'westers and oilskins?
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.

For me they can sing in Sindarin or Klingon or indeed any language made up or real. It wouldn't change the fact that imo the music is very dull and derivative...
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

* Not to be confused with the National Front For Philistines. Bastard splitters, the NFFP.

I didn't think they were very good, and feel compelled to agree with Gassy.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.
