So so so indie arty wanky, hey whats not to like

The Forest Awakes Saint Vincent and David Byrne

This is very good from an Oxford American cd

OK I do this stuff in the pub but it was suprising

Awakening   John McLaughlin & Mahavishnu Orchestra

Good Night and Good Luck

TAKE A POWDER

Sir Thomas Beecham famously once said to a women in the cello section

"You have between your legs the most sensitive instrument known to man, and all you can do is to sit there and scratch it."

A tad rude it has to be said, but still funny ( well if your a sad celibate old git with no social graces like me ) ...where was I? Oh yes Nick Drake of course. 

Nick Drake Cello Song

The Books & Jose Gonzales Cello Song

The Walkabouts Cello Song

The first time I had ever knowingly heard a Nick Drake song was from a cover mount CD on an issue of UNCUT god knows how long ago.

Hell how good is this now   musically and lyrically.

  

One Of These Things First

I could have been a sailor
Could have been a cook
A real live lover
Could have been a book
I could have been a signpost
Could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle
Steady as a rock

I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?

I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

I could have been your pillar
Could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you
Could have stayed for more
I could have been your statue
Could have been your friend
A whole long lifetime
Could have been the end

I could be
Yours so true
I would be
I should be
Through and through

I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

I could have been a whistle
Could have been a flute
A real live giver
Could have been a boot
I could have been a signpost
Could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle
Steady as a rock

I could be
Even here
I would be, I should be
So near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been

One of these things first

Nick Drake One Of These Things First

Er... thats it

Goodnight and Goodluck

Love Jules
