Song #18 – Over the Hill and Travelling Still

“…and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.”

– T.S. Eliot

It’s Song #18 and we’re getting on a bit now.  Time to lighten the tone with a song for the still game.

When recording this my guiding principle was- what would Hinge and Bracket do?

A soundtrack to afternoon tea in the parlour; songs you have loved sung to the rhythm of teaspoons tapping china cups and saucers.  Oh yes, there will be scones.

I remember writing to Colin the producer, genuinely concerned that it might not be camp enough.  His reply was “Don’t worry Biff.  It’s always camp enough”.

May we all grow old disgracefully.  And wear as much purple as we like.
