When I wrote this I did it singing in Ivor Cutler’s voice but when I tried to record it like that I discovered that I simply am not as good as he was at singing, so I had to change it back to my usual weedy voice.

Also, there’s been too much emotions and too much said on here lately. So let’s cool it down with a nice bit of anodyne ballet music.

If you haven’t, you could think of it as a metaphor for bad Karma.

I wrote this track in bright sunshine, at midday. I recorded it hours later in the middle of the night. Weirdly I wrote it about someone else but listening now it could just as easily be about me!

I didn’t hardly spend any time at all on yesterday’s one, so I’ve made a bit more of an effort today specially for you! I thought I’d write something about a subject which songwriters tend to ignore – how sad it is when you break up with someone. It’s called “Sad Night”.

It turned out there was one who was kind of like a nurse and one who was like a soldier in bed and then some who were like a greek chorus. I suppose that’s quite usual.

We talked about this and that, analysing the work in question. So here’s what this song means.

Ha ha cluster bombs are the devastating munitions that a friend of mine uses on MSN. It goes:

Me: Now you’re just being insensitive

Her: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The rest of the song is obvious and self-explanatory.
