Before I posted the words, I did a search not only on Mudcat but on Google as well, not wanting to waste effort by duplicating previous work. But I couldn't find the words anywhere, hence I had to get them from the album. To be perfectly honest, I hate taking words down from a record, as there are always one or two I have difficulty with, so it's usually a very frustrating exercise. Unless, of course, someone else (and thanks again here to Ian and Malcolm, and to Walrus) can come up with viable suggestions for the dicey bits. I'm still awaiting a reply from Liz & Sue - they may well come up with their actual words, either in a reply to me or direct to the forum, and hopefully as well, a history of the song as they know it.
