Never really knowing it was always missionless
Had no idea what it meant, but come on--that's what he says!
Then I find out it's mesh and lace, and I'm like "Oh yeah, that makes more sense."

Our version was faithful to the original, but a little bigger & rockier. Harmonies were a little more pronounced. Our bass player took the lead because it was fairly easy to sing, and the other main singer and I needed some "time off" during the night. Still sang harmonies, though.
I really liked this song from the first time I heard it, which is why I brought it to the other guys. We probably did it, on & off, for 10 or 12 years.
