    <p>An open question for all non-native English speakers onlist- how important
   are Jaz's lyrics to you and how much do you understand? </p>

    <p>The reason I asked is that during a prolonged attack of ennui I translated
   the titles of all the songs on the first 3 albums into finnish, and realised
   how far the literal translation was from the meaning of the song. "Fall
Of    Because" was a particular pain in the arse 'cos it doesn't make sense
   LITERALLY in any language, so I settled for "J&auml;rkeilyn Kukistuminen" (The
   Overthrow of Reasoning).<br>
