It’s a fabulous collection of songs, isn’t it?

Sorry! It is a thing of delight, though.

A great song! The album includes a poignant version with some different lyrics recorded at Jake’s last recording session in 1996.

I recorded this version on my album: youtu.be/wFJOKNuiTdw?...

Fabulous song! There’s a beautiful unheard version coming out on a new Thackray album next month.

Indeed. Truly a cornucopia of new delights!

When I was researching his biography, I discovered that he had a snooty landlord for the
flat he was renting around the time he wrote the song…

A deep cut inspired by his own experience, I suspect!
