Like a brick over troubled water
Brief discussion of a Nelly Furtado lyric, including this from skyecaptain:
Anyway, Frank was right to bring up Nelly Furtado -- her lyrics are often a deal-breaker for me, and I will never forgive her for putting "with my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid" into the most gorgeous song ever. Though I like piratemoggy's hearing of it as "with my mouth I could sing you another bridge that I laid."
Woops, "FROM my mouth I could sing you," which is admittedly much less egregious.
