@ yanouch: that's the whole point of this discussion, which IMHO is totally made of goat's wool, like the ancient Romans used to say. "Crises" is the plural of "crises", but BornInTheUK said (in the thread starter) that the lyrics sound like "there's a crises", which they do, and which is gramatically wrong.
@ BornInTheUK: I don't have the Crises CD handy at the moment so I don't exactly remember what is sung in the title track, but I think that Mike sings "cry-seas" (in phonetics: ˈkraɪsiz) troughout - i.e. "cry-seas, cry-seas, you can't get away. He never sings "cry-sis", or, in phonetics, ˈkraɪsɪs. Maybe he just thought that the elongated ee-sound of "cry-seas" was better for the song, grammatically right or not.
