Misheard lyrics make no sense I'm trying to transcribe the lyrics to "Queen of Greed" by Scott Reeder (link: youtu.be/7Obt77Uyb08 ) and the best I came up with is along the lines of- While I trusted (coals?) and let You (cave?) Still dripping from his tongue Plow the (beggars?) from your pocket To train the (bloodrat?) from your (young?) None of them know who you are None of them know you (like?) this one And nobody knows how far you go to (stay?) Daddy (warned us all?) before he died Then you tried to hold us down Strangle with your apron strings So you can wear your sacred crown Someday I will be dead and gone And there'll be no one to guide you through this world But don't let her hold you down Hold you down too (still?) I'm sure native anglos can do better than me and I would appreciate your help.Might be helpful - I suspect this song addresses a former colleague who became hugely successful, and with whom the singer still shares some animosity. But then, it might relate to something less publicized, or more general. No way to know for certain.

Meta-correct me! How to express myself less formally? Answering a question by a Hebrew learner, I typed a nice block of text, but then I found it to be, well, too... essay-y? I learned English from books and essays, and had very little opportunity to engage in casual conversations. Therefore I'll paste this text here and ask two questions: 1. How would you transcribe it to "Everyday English"? 2. Whereforth do me fail in grammar? (because I must have made a mistake somewhere). oh, the text: "I wouldn't recommend tackling biblical texts until having achieved at least some proficiency with modern hebrew. the bible was written during the course of centuries and therefore employs varied structures and dialects - even the most recent of which fell out of use millenia ago. learning those may instill habits which are outright wrong in modern hebrew context. i mean, you wouldn't encourage a fresh english student to start with beowulf. right?"
