And in a vaguely related way, can anyone tell me what a prickle-eye bush is?! It's been driving me mad, especially since I can't get the song out of my head!! (doesn't help that I'm listening to it at the moment, eh?) I can't help but imagine it as a gorse bush (it's a ridiculous image!), even though from the context I would have said it was a slang term for prison...

I think you are right on both counts! The song's also known in some versions as 'The Prickle Holly Bush' (Countess Richard posted a lit of all the various versions some long time ago, I can't find it now!), I always took the bush itself as an analogy for prison. Both unpleasant and difficult to get out of...

Ouch! Though I imagine it would be a bit easier to pay off a prison guard than a holly bush!
