The Purple Headed Mountain...
...OK, getting married in 3 weeks time and the bride-to-be has suggested 'all things bright and beautiful' as one of the hymns. So reading through the verses I notice the offending lyric? Anyone shed any light on it to stop me getting schoolboy giggles on the big day?

Just go with it, sang this at a friends wedding a few years back with many a school boy smirk across everybody's face.

Yes, of course. The heads or peaks of British (read "Scottish" 
) mountains look purple because of the heather. That's all. You never seen a mountain, boy?
It's got nowt to do with ****-ends.

Ah-ha...
For those of us old enough to remember the first series of 'Spitting Image', there was a classic sketch where Mary Whitehouse took the Rt. Rev. Donald Runcie (the then incumbent Archbishop of Canterbury) to task over the lyrics in 'All Things Bright & Beautiful'.
Wonderful stuff.
