By the way this was confirmed to me as

“a bloke who used to be in
Acidic Regulator [i.e a band of that name]
From near the equator.”

In that it’s under the radar, like them (not one that gets mentioned much, or played live etc)

A cracking toe-tapping tune.

Middle of nowhere hum-drum British locations name checked.

Nods to other tunes Only Ones, VU (I’m not alone in thinking ‘She’s in Parties’ here am I, or is that blindingly obvious?)

And genius couplets, “Led out/A to Z out” etc.

Put it all together and you’ve got what we love.

Forgive my Pseuds Corner entry.

“…Thanet’s three neighbouring towns are satisfyingly different, too: Broadstairs, with its curving bay and cute jetty, is the classic seaside haunt…”

‘haunt’ being the operative word I fear, but that’s another story…

For example keep saying something like “I used to be an acrobat” very fast, and /bi:jin/ is certainly one way to pronounce “be an”.

Anyway, it’s more or less exactly the same thing he’s done to make “listen” rhyme with “kissing”, making both sounds into /in/.

Whatever the former job, band, etc is, the word before the word which seems to be ‘regulator’ doesn’t end in a vowel sound like ‘senior’, and seems to end in a hard /k/ …or just possibly a /g/ or /ŋ / pronounced with less ‘voice’, as they sometimes are in a final position.

And shouldn’t the ‘best suggestion’ for whatever it is be … a bit, well.. potentially …._funny_ ?

@ BBA – as I have a correction to make to ‘Paradise Lost’, shall we take this elsewhere ?
