True | |
False |
Question 10 Explanation:
The actual lyric was "easy to break". From the song "Stone Free", one of many 60's songs which speaks of freedom.

Dolly Dagger | |

An unexpected comical twist to the story told in the song. Marginally funnier than another of the lyrics in this song - "Looks like my baby don't live here no more...that's alright, I've still got my guitar".

Great lyrics. One of the tracks from "Axis: Bold as Love", which also includes "Bold As Love" and "If 6 was 9".

An interesting bunch of tales.
