RE: RE: Hang Fire

Gosh, the Urban Dictionary got that totally wrong! "Hang Fire", from what I've been told, has meant - in the UK, to chill out and to do nothing at all, for years, it didn't come about from the Stones song, that is an old English saying! What it means in the US and I guess in Canada too, doesn't apply to this song.... This has happened before with songs making no sense in the US, yet being a great lyric in the UK. It's like what I pointed out a few months ago here with the song "Live with Me" and the line : "You'd look good pram pushing down the high street" . When that song came out, that great line was totally missed by us US fans, since a pram in the US means a small boat. Why would she look good pushing a boat down the street? But in the UK, it means a baby carriage, and that made sense and what MJ meant when he wrote the song.
