So is the missing apostrophe on the CD track list a typo or a brilliant joke about letting we’ve all missed?

I just read that Stephen Hawking is very ill in hospital. Reading on, the piece mentioned his motor neurone disease. The rest was inevitable. Before long I was thinking about Ian “Sludge” Lees. I remember once seeing the covers of a set of rubbish looking singles, it was something like football songs for a world cup sung by not very famous comedians of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the England one was done by Ian “Sludge” Lees. I think he had a perm.

None of that makes much sense though. In fact, it’s a pretty dire ‘parody’, but I bow to your Norfolk (and Way) reasoning.

the lyric book(which is not 100% perfect) says:

“Mean nothing much
next The Sea”

It’s Nothing Much Next-The-Sea parodying the real Norfolk town of Wells Next-The-Sea. I always heard “set in Norfolk where it’s cold” rather than “set in Norfolk and it’s called.”

To my 1991 ears, I always heard the line as “ain’t nothing much in Ecstasy, I saw Jesus but he didn’t see me”. I concede this is possibly catastrophically incorrect, but (and whisper it gently) “In nothing-much-next -to the sea” is a bit shit and despite Nigel’s ‘no drug’ stance, I prefer to think I, alone, am right. Besides, I doubt Nige has done half the things he references in songs (Tantric sex excepted).
