It takes a while to register that British "ar" sound in the ears of an
American...It's not just four-year-olds who have difficulties, either.
Until I discovered the web site with the lyrics, I always thought it was
"cakes the size of Africa" (in Harlan) and "visibly lost in the scheming and
dreaming of you" (in Whaddya?), to name just a couple. 'E's not your
average lyricist, our Pat. That's a good thing.
