Thank you for all that. It just goes into my collection of things that shouldn't have been claimed - there's someone on the net whose website claims ownership of "Salley Gardens" words and music, about long before she was born - and Mike Oldfield "owns" "Portsmouth", of which I have just found my setting for multiple children playing guitar and recorder to various standards. I wouldn't put it quite with book burning. But there was a geological case of a collector who had one of the only two perfect examples of a particular fossil, bought the other when it came on the market, and smashed it. No, it's not as bad as that.

Meanwhile,

I was walking out the other night,
Heave away, haul away
When flashing blue lights came in sight
Round the great Sarf Circ'lar
Chorus

The copper said "Now tell, my dear"
Heave away, haul away
"What are you doing loitering here?"
Round the great Sarf Circ'lar
Chorus

"We'll take you with us now to see"
Heave away, haul away,
"Why you're out here without ID"
Round the great Sarf Circular.
Chorus

Needs work on the chorus and the second line, innit.
