Mc Grath
Helen Akitt and I sang this at our gig at Wycombe/ Marlow folk club in July - but when I first heard Helen sing it I wasn't keen on the "Man goes beyond his own decision, Gets caught up in a mechanism" lines so Helen rewrote them as "Man comes to fight and learns to hate, Gets caught up in a web of fate". I hadn't realised she was rewriting Elvis Costello!
