Description: oft-requested and never recorded - until now. inspired by "anthropomorphism gone mad", but also by the two bedding centres on new bridge street, each which feature a smiley-faced mattress.

lyrics

an ex-classmate of a local newsreader is shopping in the precinct opened by her friend. on the carrier-bags is a happy apple with a pair of cartoon eyes. outside the chippy in the morning, they put out a sandwich board, it's a giant baked potato with a pair of cartoon eyes. i was in the paper shop looking at the christmas cards, when a drawing of a little robin with a pair of cartoon eys made me want to cry.

22/12/22 - I will follow Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. As a matter of fact, I will follow half of Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. These are beautiful, dark, brooding songs. They sound awesome heard with undivided attention, and are also turning out to be great accompaniment to a reread of Ursula Le Guin's Malafrena. Grain Sparrow
