h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

By chance I came across this: A3477927 and now have an earworm -

Bread from Evans's
Milk from Thomas's
Be-er from the Royal Oak
Be-er from the Royal Oak
- to the tune Cwm Rhondda

The original, the so-called unofficial Welsh National Anthem, has this at the end:

Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more.
- which begs the question: was the author an aspiring atheist?

So, has anyone else noticed similar oddities? (I've seen at least one other - if I could recall it!)

Oh come let us ignore him
Oh come let us ignore him
Oh come let us ignore him
Christ, I'm bored.

If you look at the conversations for that entry, you'll find one titled 'Oh my darling Clementine'. It's what my dad used to sing when that hymn was played.

What does `feed me` and atheism have in common?

More likely just an older usage of the word "want", Rod - "to have less than necessary", rather than "to desire".

A bit like the "War on Want" sense.

Yes, KB, it's a prayer to be made replete (until the next time, and in the meantime...).
A sense different from fill me with thy divine light.

Ah well, that's it analysed. Come back all I said.
