Excellent, Jock. Would sure enjoy sitting in a pub with a cold one in front of me while listening to you do your thing. One cold one just might lead to another with all the great songs you've given us. All the best. ~ Mark

Cheers man. Bit of clipping on the track unfortunately, but I enjoyed singing it.

Wrote it on a Sunday.

You are like the James Joyce of You Tube songwriters I'm getting the feeling...you need to have read his early books to know what I mean by that and I could be wrong too but the subject matter is similar in some aspects.

@CurtisMateer

Never read him. I'll be sure to get Ulysses on my Kindle when I buy one later this year.

Reading Moby Dick at the moment - I wanna get a green card.

A bloke once told me that Virginia Woolf said that Joyce's work was "all piss and menstrual bandages" - sounds good.

[CurtisMateer]

That's a later one. What I mean about his early work is the subject matter which is about the rejection of religious, specifically church dogma as well as filling in that space with the love of a woman and art. Also there's something of Lennon's mother figure in this song's anima. It deals with classic themes and is a grand exploration of them. Incidentally I see a lot of this stuff as still defining oneself via the thing rejected (So many ex-Christians embrace LOVE and The End).

Why the card?

@CurtisMateer

Wow! There's me thinking it was just a simple little song.

I don't know what you mean by "Why the card?"

@CurtisMateer

Sorry, I understand the card thing now. Green card.

Isn't Moby Dick the book that every American kid has to read? Maybe I'm wrong.

Are you an academic Curtis? You seem to like to put things in contextual boxes. Just asking.

[ramsdenmark]

Nice one!

@anonplace An English teacher whose students say he reads too much into things. But it really is all there, you've just got to be able to psych-analyze and justify every reading, whether it's right or wrong...but you still haven't answered the question...
