Words in Song

“Words” as a subject in song

The lyrics and the audio for these are not held here for copyright reasons. I have installed links to other sites. If you discover that any of these links are broken, please contact me. (If you start from my home page, you quickly find how to do that.) What I like doing with these is to open the lyrics and the sound in different tabs, and then listen to the song whilst I have the words up in front of me

Comment.
Louden has written this song of complaint to complain about only one word. The word does not appear in the song. You have to figure it out! (Hint: the word is NOT “Cobwebs”).
