Written on New Year’s Day, 1st January 1984, whilst coming down from an LSD trip watching the snow falling outside the window of a friend’s flat. Demoed for One Million Fuzztone Guitars at the time but never rehearsed, played live or recorded.
“Nicely done, breezy pop anthem to the Easy Life, big deception, and with bats in the belfry and chickens in the yard…I was reading about Kevin Rowland today. This song suddenly also reminded me of him.” AQ
“Great Scot! It’s good. I particularly like the words. This song is held forth by it’s narrative. A happy Nick Cave tune perhaps with a twist….. Good Rob, Good. I don’t know much – but I know when something musically is good to my ears and mind………” AR

A brand new track for a brand new year. 2022 starts here! Written on and old GDR acoustic salvaged from the shore of Lake Coniston, it just leaped off the fretboard and into the World.
“Groovy, lovely interplay of guitars and a bright ditty for sunny days. Brilliant!” AQ “
Awesome catchiness. Love the Guitar sound. Only Ones meet Lou on Bridlesmith Gate. Love it.” AR
“That instrumental section has a great sound, good and full of potential. Time to do an off-beat ballad in that style, then…” AG

The Legend of Rock Section (Séance Version), originally entitled ‘Send Me A Letter’, with the original lyrics from the Jim Morrison séance, which started off with him saying he was murdered by the music industry (the song Target) then asked for me to send this to a friend of his in the US called Big Jake, of course this came back “return to sender” as Big Jake was a character John Wayne played, it then took on a life of it’s own “a gigantic hoax” which culminated in us meeting Cliff Richards at the crossroads one morning, this is the original lyrics version from the letter that was only opened after the Dayglo Maradona version came out. Every time I approach it, it becomes something else.
