Good point.  Reminds me of "Veins" - "I'm drinking his whiskey/I'm balling
his wife"... (don't believe the minced version in the lyric book!)

> And that last verse, running away to Greece and drinking Ouzo... YAK!

In JS' original lyric, it's "ouzo in our coffee".  Now, I've got a cup of
Gold Blend here, and there's still some duty-free ouzo left over from that
holiday in Corfu...  YAK indeed!
