The band They Might Be Giants constructed a song with lyrics consisting just of the names of countries, so this is a great chance to brush up on the English forms of place names. But one hint: West Xylophone is, unfortunately not really the name of an actual country!

Katie Melua's music video "If You Were a Sailboat" taken from the album Pictures.
Melua said of the song: “What I liked about the song is the fact that a lot of love songs tend to deal with the fluffy nice side of love, but this one deals with how you get very selfish when you fall in love with someone, and you don't want to share them with the world, you just want them all about yourself."
There are plenty of examples of the conditional tense in this song. It's common to say "if I was," but it's technically incorrect. It should be, "if I were." We have left it as is in this song.

The song was written by Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss of the group INXS, after the band had gotten back together after a year-long sabbatical in 1989. The song was named after a woman who had bleached her own hair because she had "dyed" by her own hand and who was "love devastation". It is rumoured that Hutchence's then-girlfriend, Kylie Minogue, gave him the inspiration for the title while working on her 1989 film The Delinquents.
