Looking at lyrics sheet in ltd edition Onward(fantastic stuff) I notice the line in Green Finned Demon "with a wand of Wales bone" Did someone get their spellcheck mixed up with actual proof reading or the person doing the proof reading has never heard of the country Wales. Shocking the decline in standards these days(copyright The Daily Mail)

Anyway, it could've become a "wails bone," which would have made much less sense. Might be an idea to let an auto-correction spellchecker loose on a copy of a Hawkwind lyrics document, and see what happens!
