Mietityttää englanninkielisessä rock-lyriikassa monikin ilmaisu. Otetaanpa esimerkiksi Led Zeppelinin Lemon Song, jonka sanat juontavat vanhaan jenkkiläiseen mustaan bluesiin mutta ovat tässä ehkä kenties brittiläistyneet jotenkin:

Eli osaako joku selittää seuraavia ilmaisuja:
"Down on this killin' floor"
"You send me the blues way down the line." (erityisesti tuo down the line. Myös esim. Guns and Roses käyttää sitä lauseessa "I'm gonna kick him on down the line")
"You aint nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive" (two-bit ja jive)
Anyone? Kiitoksia.

Killing floor-- The slaughtering room of an abattoir, a slaughter house, where animals were brought to be killed and cut up. Particularly in the Chicago Stockyards area where many black Aldren crying all down the line.
= teurastamo
MYös: "When a woman gets over on you and you just can't seem to do anything about it, and you can't stay away from her even though you do your best, and your mind is all a mess from it. You promise yourself to never see her again and wind up at her door a minute later. She has you on the Killing Floor."
"ALL DOWN THE LINE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Yeah, heard the diesel drumming all down the line.
Oh, heard the wires a humming all down the line.
Yeah, hear the women sighing all down the line.
Oh, hear the children crying all down the line. "
Tuossakin "all down the line" ??
