Thanks Jim,

I agree that the Claire Dacey version is easier to follow and you may be right about whether or not she's actually singing Antje's original words (she's clearly not playing the original tune) but this does help me fill in the blanks. (Not sure why I'd written Lake Eyre because I had it as Lake Erie in my mind.)

The 'middle eight' bit in my version is a bit of a mystery. It doesn't appear on the album version or the version on Soundcloud but it does appear on a version on a compilation CD that a friend of mine put together for a charity. I need to ask my friend if she knows anything about that.
