about

The first line is a tribute to one of my greatest songwriting heroes, the one and only Tom Lehrer.

lyrics

I got it from Agnes
Agnes, so I hear, got it from you
Did you stop, before you passed it on
To check and see if it was true?

We've no idea where it came from
It doesn't advertise its roots
It's the lie that travels round the world
While the truth is putting on its boots

These days it is normal to exaggerate
People lie more often than you'd think
Nobody has got time to investigate
And that is why we're standing on the brink...

Bertrand got it from Suzy
And Suzy got it from Pierre
It must be catching, I feel woozy;
Do you really need to share?

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
