Don't worry eddie, the first comment Rob made on my forum was maybe you should use paragraphs & apostrophes properly when writing lyrics,

Rob The Badger 18 Apr 2004 22:14

Does no one else feel this strongly about grammar! SOMEONE HELP ME! THE GRAMMAR CRIMINALS ARE AFTER ME!

KebLou 18 Apr 2004 22:21

Yeah, but I've never been any good at English, so I have given up.
