The campaign for real words
It fills the heart with rage to hear the English language so distorted. Does no one listen to what they’re singing any more?
“Faints my heart I know not how
I can go no longer ?”
Think about it – does that actually make any sense at all?
Of course not!
“Faints my heart I know not how
I can go on longer.”
And while we’re about it how about In the bleak midwinter …… and this is as much musical as verbal because to leave out the ‘I’ you have to leave out the B its sung to.
Yet what I can I give him –
Give my heart.
