vindelis Songs About Disease (99* d) RE: Help: Songs About Disease 26 Apr 00


How about Ilkla moor baht tat? (It's on the Digitrad under this title. Or 'A Bunch of Thyme', which contains the line 'The sailor gave to me a rose' - a euphemism for venereal disease. For that very reason, a building called 'Rose Cottage' was to be found in many a dockyard, of olden days. There is also a Nic Jones song that references 'white tin' I think. Yet another euphemism for unsociable disease.
