Well, my mother tongue is French and I must say that lyrics are very =
important to me. It's funny that you should mention "Fall of because", =
because it's one of the few songs that have always puzzled me (lyrically =
speaking). But now that someone is mentioning Aleister Crowley, I think =
it might get a bit clearer for me... Thanks, Stevie. :-)

  An open question for all non-native English speakers onlist- how =
important are Jaz's lyrics to you and how much do you understand?=20

  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=E4rkeilyn Kukistuminen" (The Overthrow of Reasoning).
