lyrics

Song For Terry (Pratchett)
He considered it a kindness to speak plain and tell me straight,
I'm afraid it's not good news old boy, we found it far too late.
I know you wouldn't want me to hold back anything or lie,
let's face it, in the end my friend everyone one of us must die.
It's gone too far this time old boy, there's little we can do
I'd be lying if I said there's any hope for you.
It's not what you had hoped to hear from me today,
But there's really little more that I can do or I can say.
Your mind is winding down each day like a mantle clock,
Whose gears and cogs have not been oiled, til it stutters to a stop.
"Faces once familiar are strangers to me now.
I'd thank you doc, I really would, but I've forgotten how."

Robyn Hitchcock
by Robyn Hitchcock

I shared a label with the Soft Boys back in the early 80s and was seduced by 'Underwater Moonlight' on first hearing. Privileged to have Robyn guest on my 'The Puppet Master' and 'Mad Elaine'). Paul Roland

London Stone
by Bevis Frond

This man never releases a weak album. Love them all. Heavy stoner rock to whimsical psych, bursting at the seams with strong songs and totally wired psych guitar. A killer, no filler. Paul Roland

Bolan's Litterbox
by T.Rex

For almost 50 years Marc inspired and energised me. Privileged to have been managed at one time by June and to have written 4 biogs - trying to capture what made him my main man. Paul Roland
