I dunno. perhaps its just me. The song doesn't convey that much to me. And it goes on SO long.

The brother and sister have a shag. She dies. he's a bit cut up about it.

Its not like theres an alternative ending, where they go for counselling, appear on the Jeremy Kyle Show, and she says " I love 'im to bits". This is not a narrative which will have the average person the edge of their seat.

Really I can't actually say I blame anyone for not learning it. if you enjoy singing it though - you keep on - that's the criterion surely.

hang loose for godsake. If you go through a Tony Hancock moment(in the rebel when he settles down chipping away at his hideous statue - Aphrodite at the waterhole) - Wor! I've gotta winner here! Well you go for it. have a bit of confidence in what you do!

I'm aware I'm in a minority. I can live with that.
