‘Guaranteed’ – is it not?

Goodness me no. Can't say any more though, it upsets
A****** K**. Of course if he's left (since we're
dropping by roughly one list member a day) I'll be
happy to elaborate.

lyrics, and by no means his best work

You mean it gets even better than that?! Surely not?

OK, so there are plenty of worse lyricists in the
world, but it's all so mundane and literal. The Deacon
Blue lyrics I've read are like the musical equivalent
of an LS Lowry picture. Give me the venom of Elvis
Costello's Pills And Soap, or the elegance of Tom
Waits' A Foreign Affair, or the impressionism of
Donald Fagen's The Goodbye Look, or the whimsy of Neil
Hannon, or the working class wordplay of Chris
Difford... What the hell though, if it twiddles your
knobs good luck to you. When it comes to Deacon Blue I
can never get past the stupid name anyway.

PS Anyone familiar with The High Llamas? And if so,
any recommendations?

Well I remember seeing the Saturday morning kids TV promo appearances for
the "Guaranteed" release and I thought it...well....plain sucked. Like organ
transplants, there's always a chance that the recipients immune system will
reject the foreign body. 'fraid my Gould antibodies were just too strong.
