Having an opinion on the quality of certain songs. I thought I'd be entitled to it after nineteen years of being a fan. My vagueness over the wine/vine thing, I admit I didn't look it up and it was only from my faint memory of a previous discussion of the matter, which did suggest the original song used the word 'vines'. Fair cop, I got the timings of the last two albums back to front, I was thinking it was on CSI. I haven't listened to HMHB much over the last few years as I don't get as much opportunity these days and my CD collection is stuck under some boxes at the moment. Finally apologies for not being part of the in-crowd, I'm new to these parts. My apologies for the following.

Furthermore, if you have theories (e.g. lyrics of a song by another artiste that is being parodied) it often helps to firstly read the whole thread and/or look up on the internet before you post. I have learned this the hard way myself. Ringo Starr sang "lips like strawberry wine", by the way. I do envy you one thing though, and that's your ability to wait excitedly for more than three and a half years after a song's appearance (by the sounds of it knowing the title all that time) to listen to it. Even JDOG could be a bit of an anti-climax after all that excited waiting. I can't wait to her what you'll make of the "CSI" LP when you get it. Father's Day 2011, maybe? Sorry but you do seem to have been asking for this since you appeared on here, and I thought I'd wait and do it all in one post. PS: are you the Rotherham Postie after too many Easter Eggs ?

Does it refer to 'wistful ruminations in my humble apartment' or 'reverie in the key of A flat'? I'm not muso enough to be able to tell whether the latter would be musically accurate. Don't worry, I'll shut up when I reach the top of the list. How should we interpret the title? Does it refer to ‘wistful ruminations in my humble apartment’ or ‘reverie in the key of A flat’?

There is absolutely no way of proving this, but it just fits in with the feel of a song where the playing-with-various-daft-ways-of-rhyming-or-not-rhyming quotient is higher than ever.

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:54:30 +0000 http://www.chrisrand.com/hmhb/?p=601#comment-1980 Hi I reckon it's: "She works <b>at</b> Marks And Spencer’s" Not sure if M&S should have an apostrophe. Isn't it just plural & not possessive as has been done for Lech Walesa? I'm willing to be proved wrong on that "I <b>loved</b> you more than ever" The whole of the last verse is sung in the past tense so, as well as sounding like loved, it fits. Hi
