It's 'we all love to lech' (not 'lurch' but the 'ch' sound is the same). It's a contraction of 'lecherous' or 'lecher' - so I don't need to say any more. And Aidan sounds pretty ordinary Falkirk to me - not bored - as the Central small town Scotland accent disguises happiness, threat, anger, fear and boredom under the same drawl. And this is a great song - if you listen to the import of the lyrics - and it's got more to do with Ivor Cutler than the singers who think that - if you're in Scotland - you're in heaven already!Dollar Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586754193614020384noreply@blogger.com
