Quotes[]
Andy: “An early Oranges & Lemons sketch. I never finished the lyrics off, so all that remains is this wirey skeleton of an idea. Captain Spam Loins and his Tragic Band.”
Andy: “This Beefheart like groove was thrown down on the run up to Oranges and Lemons. It originally had lyrics, but I never finished them, on the theme of the purity and joy of childhood. That is, until we become stained with experience. A little wirey train set of a thing that rattles round and around its own rhythm track.”
