My wife sings it "Angels come to conquer you." That always gives me a chuckle.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Actually, I was serious, Soren! I worked in Holland for a time, and now that you mention it, I do recall brood means bread! Wow, never realised....I think my memory is going! And sorry billy, overlooked those posts!

i know, bill, that's why i remembered. it was actually the second time you said it that cemented it into my brain. does Dutch for "shed" end in "ood" aswell? |

I thought Brood was pronounced like 'boat', which rhymes with 'tot' which is German for dead which rhymes with bread.
Or am I wrong?

Yes, Brood pronounced in Dutch sounds like "bread" -- which rhymes with dead. The angels whisper his name.
the song reminds me of the German film "Wings of Desire" where the angel tries to comfort the suicidal character, who jumps anyway. I bet Frank has watched that film.
