The cemetery’s full of indispensable cobblers
Whiteness Thy Name Is Meltonian has two or three individual lines in it which I know are amongst the favourites of several people. And that coda – it’s almost pop music… Meltonian, by the way, still exists. It’s a brand which, despite being sold to the Americans, is so achingly traditional it apparently doesn’t need a proper website – and you won’t see much of a mention of it anywhere from its current owner, the mighty Sara Lee Corporation. Thanks to Grim, Jon A, Jon F and gNick

Indeed, no idea what I was doing there. And don’t call me…

Should Duck Stab have an exclamation mark after it?

I think it should be ‘I wanna live….” rather than ‘I want to…”
and on a slightly less pedantic point I always heard ‘you’ rather than ‘youth’. However I have just listened to it on a rather poor sounding stereo so will listen to it again on something better and come back to you.

I’m now sure it’s ‘you’ rather than ‘youth’.

I’m in the ‘youth’ camp. I think Nigel would use assonance rather than rhyme you with you, and have just listened through good quality headphones and am sure of it. I agree with wanna live though.
I love the pronunciation of directions emphasising the t.

Again, from the lyric page it’s ‘youth’ & ‘want to’ but it’s definitely sung as ‘wanna’.

‘you’ is rhymed with ‘you’ in Corgi Registered Friends.
Doesn’t strengthen my argument one jot, just thought I’d share this vital piece of information with you all.

Probably more repetition than rhyme, but I take your point.
