cheers, Malcolm also messaged me this morning to say “when the f*** did I record these f****** tunes you bull*******g C***!?” I reminded him and he said, “ah yes, I remember now thanks”.

One of my favourite opening couplets:
“Ah autumn, you f’ing c’nt/
Keep bringing memories that I didnae want”
Top bloke. I remember seeing him live at a festival. It was the Kate Moss goes to Glastonbury era and lots of designer wellies come down to the country were in the crowd, laughing along to Blue Plastic Bags while this patently unhappy man on the stage was staring above them, pouring out his darkest thoughts.
