I've been a fan of Monty Python most of my life, but I didn't remember that one. Interesting trivia
I like the lyrics a lot. They really showcase a Canterburyan quality which I like :
From Big Jobs (Poo Poo Extract)
Here's a song to begin the beginning
A few notes which are arbitrary
But we try our best to make it sound nice
And hope that the music turns you on to our latest L.P.
So do have a laugh certainly
Not that it's a grand piece of poetry, but I get the impression that the Canterbury guys are living their worryless lives while blissfully unaware of the tragedies out there in the bigger world. I get the general feeling that they don't have anything important to write about (like political stands or world tragedies) and, in a way, I find that highly refreshing.
