Hi, all,
Song lyrics typically abound in slang expressions, or simply their authors freely interpret the notion of 'poetic liberty'. Here are two examples containing expressions I am not familiar with and would be grateful for explanation of (I give full contexts):
1. '... the landlady's all squared away...' (
squared away - :? ?)
2. '... what they're cracked up to be...' (
cracked up 
)
If those are some kind of swear words, I do apologise. It is not my intention to use foul language on any occasion, and especially in this forum.
Regards, T.K.
