Another bittersweet song from the underrated Boothby Graffoe. I think that his facility with words and music are masterfully understated. This only gives more weight to what he is saying (pity then, that the audience laughed at the obvious in this otherwise subtley complex song). To be fair, he is a musical comedian and so they may have felt obligated.
The picture, just in case you are curious, is of Wigan Pier, made famous by either George Orwell or George Formby...take your pick.
