Subject: Squeeeze lyrics
In the Squeeze song, what does "a flannel for my face" mean?
What's a flannel?
Subject: Re: Squeeeze lyrics
er... a flannel is something you wash your face with (usually about a foot square, made of thin towelling-type material)
Unless the lyricist is being particularly metaphorical, of course

Something I always wondered from that song.
Is the lyric "Tempted by the fruit of a mother"
or is it "Tempted by the fruit of an udder" ?
