I don't have a clue what this song's about.

A deserved classic.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:17

Piano.

I think the line "take a load off f*nny" means sit down and relax.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:19

Low-key ending.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:20

Track 6 - We Can Talk.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:20

A bit jauntier.

More broadly I think the chorus is saying to shrug your problems off and let me take the burden.

Like "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers.

Sudden change of tempo.

Suddenly gone all clippety clop.

by Nightjar Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:21

This is a decent song.

Still, too much chopping and changing about.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:22

This one's not working.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:23

Track 7 - Long Black Veil.

by Nightjar Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:23

Trad.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:23

I know this one too.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:24

This is better.

Loads have people have done it.

by Nightjar Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:24

Clavinet.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 6 Jul 2021 - 19:25

I've always suspected this may have been the inspiration for Macca and Costello's That Day Is Done.
