about

The songs of Pete Atkin and Clive James blew my teenage mind and opened up whole new possibilities for topic, technique and tone (thanks Michael Fearn!). Many years later I re-read this poem, and being the exception that proves the rule, it seemed that the words might support more music than was already in them. What came out was remarkably like one of Pete’s, but I hope it is more testament than pastiche.
