| @[nattynat:17701] Idiom will get the non-native speaker every time.This is an example of Idiom of quantity. Amassing something "by the score" means collecting lots of whatever it is. "Scores of passengers on the train today" means "The train was crowded", not that the speaker actually counted the passengers 8o) | |

Jobson was not part of the lineup until "Stranded" was being recorded. long after this song was laid down. MacKay all the way. I saw him play awesome oboe for Out Of The Blue during the Country Life tour in '74. Jobson also fiddled competently, but the song was made by the oboe mixed for a cold sound. Much better than the studio version. |

I think the lyric is actually: If there are many MeaningS the same BeING specific'S just a game The song starts to make more sense then, and the words match what I can hear on the album. I also think it is "Looking round corners" and "Trying to find piece of mind" Was there ever an official lyric sheet for this song? I never saw one if there was. |
