i love this song,think its sad yet uplifting at the same time.was at the astoria when the past and present played this together as an encore.one of the best things i have ever witnessed
around the 35 second mark and elsewhere in the track really reminds me of 'in the court of the crimson king'.. I wonder if this a a deliberate nod/wink/reference/homage?
The instant appeal of this song and the others made me buy the album on the spur of the moment all those years ago when I heard it in a 'record' shop in Inverness. Total class never equalled by any other band.
You were ahead of your time. Others are following in your footsteps and you deserve the glory.

Thank you gehennathehorse, you have made me so happy that I'm in tears.
I first saw the lovable sports back in 1987 in a small club called Stairways, in Birkenhead. I had a lovely time on 2 orange micro dots.

In the 1980s, the Cardiacs were probably the greatest live act of all time.
Get well soon Tim!

This song and "Cortez the killer" by Niel Young allways make me well up,dunno why?
I love Cardiacs and hope Timmy is feeling a bit better,it would be a sad sad place indeed if there were no Cardiacs about.

Brilliant. This is why Cardiacs were the best thing ever.

That still brings a tear to my eye, just as it did the first time back in 1984, or was it '86?
An absolute classic.
