Good
Morning
[MP3]
We meet Dr
Johnson, I kiss a girl I saw once on a train to the junction…
Susceptible [MP3] That delectable twist in your groove…
Autumn in Mallorca [MP3] I walked a dark road up this bone-white hill…
Lady’s Tale [MP3] She was much too good at giving, she was one who stood out in a crowd…
Unrequited [MP3] From the blood inside the heart to the hand inside the glove…
Farewell Blues [MP3] Goodbye to youth and all its pleasure, like shortage of cash and excess leisure…
Desert Island Disc [MP3] Here’s a dark and friendly lady asking me to be her baby…
In Your Line It’s easy to lie down in bed, but it’s hard hearing you overhead…
Went Walking Stones and dust beneath our feet, heading for a land replete with milk and honey, wine and wheat…
Carve Another Notch I took you for the goods and now I’ll have to pay for it…
Track of the Pieces If you just keep right on tootin’ you’ll end up madder than Rasputin…
Macaroon One sleepless buffoon, scribbling this tune, feels like a sneeze tonight might well set this whole old world alight…
Rose of Sharon Her form is full of strength and graces, timid like a running deer’s…
Blues Lion They’re in the chamber, striking the iron, making their points and grinding their axes…
