Love that song. It's meant to be faux Country though, so perhaps the grammar is correct after all :-)

Poets have taken many liberties using grammar and spelling for centuries, no difference here

"And did those feet in ancient times walk upon England's mountains green"

I demand that before anyone can appear on the X Factor they must have a minimum education of degree in English. The winner should be the one with the most PhDs.

But if this ever changin' world. In which we live in. Makes you give in and cry. Say live and let die...

What's worse is that "In which we're living" would have worked very nicely.

ABBA, The Winner Takes It All.

The line that goes 'A big thing or a small' - may well be grammatically ok but it totally grates....

Conscious Uncoupling - Separation : Ruined by a poor turn of (invented) phrase. What a pair of unmitigated, self-righteous, *******.

Songs ruined by poor grammar

Listening to Duels 'What we Did Wrong'.

Good song, ruined by:

"Papa we loved, but was we so naïve
That we was living a lie"
