Let it simmer for 200 years - with enough 'polishing' it might become a 'good' song.

Well, it's been simmering away now for 40 years and it's still no better - or indeed no different - than it was. What makes you think another 160 years will make a difference?

I hate The Hiring Fair even more, especially that look of utter perverse earnestness that invariably comes on the singers face when she puts his hand (pause) on her tit.

Actually my wife (the aforementioned Rapunzel) is a snigger-snogwriter, amongst other things; check her stuff out here: http://www.myspace.com/rachelmccarron. Her Sarah Says was a favourite of mine even before we got to know one another because it touched a literary nerve and inspired a mythos in its own right which leads somehow to me remixing it as Sarah More or Less a couple of years back. Folk? Process? I like to think so... Check it out! Raw folk-trip-hop fusion!
