<P><BR>I seem to remember in lots of novels I read when&nbsp;I was younger, the garret was like an attic, at the very top of the house. It was rather like a bedsit, with that one room being your home and sharing kitchen and bathroom. Hot in summer and freezing in winter, so the cheapest of all rooms and this is why artists always lived in them, being in a struggling profession.</P>
<P>Sounds like this would be more relevant to the song. Cheers, Jo.<BR>BTW, only six days until the Forum. Yes!!!!!</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; My understanding of the word "garret" (I believe it should be one "t") 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;That was what my dictionary said as well, but in the lyric sheet it was actually spelt "garrett". 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;So I thought it might have different meanings.
