No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she.

Is there a stranger example of what one might call 'creative' grammar in the history of popular music?

Not counting things like wap babaloobop balop bamboo, of course.

"When Captain America throws his mighty shieeeeeeeeld
All those who chose to oppose this shield must yieeeeeeeeeeeld!"

Shouldn't that be "choose" instead of "chose", since the rest is in present tense?

does the recent xgau debate count?

Not sure what you mean tony. Could you link me in?

Alex in NYC, if I were captain America, I would say 'All those who have chosen...'
