Thanks for the history lesson David...in those days there was little or no press available about such fine details in pop culture in the States, we only really new what our records stores sold us and any liner notes the LP's contained. Rolling Stone magazine had just gone national in 1968 when that album came out.
I studied the swell of her enormous boobs, and said......."Baby, you're so far ahead it's beautiful!!" One of the best lines EVER in any song written. RIP Viv Stanshall.
@Searchandpreserve Have you got a light mac, Mac is a slang word in America used the same way as mate in Britain. He is asking for a light for his ciggy but it could also be asking if he has a light coloured mac which is a type of raincoat hence the answer no but I've got a dark brown overcoat.
@Jubalover - Disambiguation: The Bonzos Album #2 was entitled "The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse" everywhere except the USA, and 'Urban Spaceman' was only ever known as a Bonzos track written, composed and sung by Niel Innes.

I owned Gorilla, and this song wasn't on it. Perhaps a UK vs. US product? Unclear.
Oh the internet...1 second...
"In 2007 EMI re-issued the album on CD with 7 bonus tracks."
