Instead of a man who sounded permanently tranquilised.

This is horrible.

And then it just ends.

I kept thinking that too.

Hang on, didn't this come out before the Elton John song?

I feel that, like all the Gerry Rafferty albums I've heard, it's forty minutes of impeccably crafted dullness.

Virtually all of his songs would be a lot better if performed by someone else. The only exceptions I've ever heard to that are Baker Street, Mattie's Rag and The Garden of England which benefit from his restrained approach to singing.

New Street Blues.

Is this about the shiny shiny station?

More-or-less same time apparently (written, recorded, released: 1971 - 1972).

Can we do the Ringo one now?

I have an awful feeling that all I have on my iTunes is a Can I Have My Money Back? 'special edition' bonus disc.

I think that this is this is what I've been listening to.

The orginal album had the tracks the other way around!



We've been listening to it, backwards! in the wrong order!

Indeed you could say, Can I have my Money back?

I need to look at what's on the telly tonight first. Then I'll be free to listen to Ringo.

That would explain why it just ended, with no sense of climax.

Yeah, but I think it might be better than the proper album.
