Message :	I think the second verse of Squaw Valley starts 'Up at Lake Tahoe'. The Squaw Valley ski resort is located next to Lake Tahoe in the California Sierra Nevada mountains.

Message :	Yes, plugs maybe. The line after Clarion is what we can't make out. Distorted. Found a track I had never played, on Blues Section 2, last track.

Message :	Note that Jim is singing these off a lyric sheet from Mats. So he actually does sing Grand McNally for Rand McNally. Or they wrote the lyrics together. Not clear. It's one of these things Rekku had compiled with no lyrics and the lyrics came last.

Message :	I have tons of holes in this one, so suggestions are desperately welcome: SQUAW VALLEY NON EVENT Spoken: Aaaaaah, yes! There was a time we ended up At Squaw Valley Coz we'd been sticking pins Into the old Grand McNally And it turned into A cross-country micro bus rally Mostly in the name of love and peace Ah, but ??? It was early in the season Not that it mattered Cos we'd come there for no reason But one thing we'd forgotten Was you're better off with skis on When the white stuff's like Half-way to your knees Close to high camp We passed the ghost of Eero ??? Slippin' and a-sliding Like some disadvantaged Santa And sitting on his tail Was a ??? black manta Like a huge liquorice fig Above the trees Then some kind of weird looking cranial cutter Pulled up ahead And the ??? began to splutter - oh!

Message :	A stinging light came on And a woman that made me shutter And I figured we'd run into the police And that's when we knew Our ship of fools had run aground Coz the clarion was clacking ??? Just forget this ever happened And turn that van around ??? Squaw valley non event ??? ??? really need to ??? Some place else that heaven sent Health farm weather, glory bent (prob. not!) ??? Worried figures on the sand ??? sunrise ??? Spoken: Well now, all of this bother Seemed just a bit too wady So we headed on back To the inner state lady But then we thought We go check out Little Charlie Badie And his Night Cats Playing down the road a piece

Squaw Valley non event ??? Really need to ??? Someplace else that Heaven sent By then it seemed time To give Squaw Valley the slip Coz the way things were going We might never get hip And we'd heard from Bruce Lake Was ??? inside ??? From the kind of place Where wonders never cease Squaw Valley non event etc.

Message :	Thanks for the corrections. Meanwhile I found another old Pembroke inspired lyric I wrote many moons ago. Hope you enjoy it. GETTING NOWHERE SLOW Got to start a whole new life Wash'n'cut my hair Tell me where my socks are I’ve got nothing else to wear Those piglets in my bathroom Flying round like they don’t care I feel like I’m not getting anywhere Spassky lost that third game Bob was more than he could bear Mindlessly moved Queen from C5 To some outside square Called Moss Cow* for air support Rybkin didn't care I feel like I’m not getting anywhere Later in Cambodia With my chic au pair Poker games and French Roulette But playing really fair Advert in the S.O.F. If pay’s all right I’m there I feel like I’m not getting anywhere (* US pronunciation of Moscow) Copyright the Tanskalainen 1978

Message :	Kai is mostly right. "blaze" is just place before it's become "Yes it stands to be" I hear stand with some words after

Message :	"Heartache seem to ???" It's "follow". "Before it's ???" It's either "begun" or "become". Sounds more like the latter, but the former would make better sense. "??? Alone in company" I would say that he mumbles "You used to stand". The final word is certainly "stand".

Message :	Thank "Friend!" Glad you liked it. Here's another example of the real thing ... with a few ??? to be filled in. DEEP POP (BEFORE THE ONLY ONE COMES) Walk in the shadows Hiding from the sun She got to be somewhere The only one Yeah, walk in the shadows You wanna run You got to slow down, boy You'll miss the only one She's the only one Yes, the only one You search in the shadows Ah, you run from the sun You're flying by moonlight To find the only one You hid in the shadows Like a feather gun Riding the rainbow To find the only one You wanna run But you find no place to go All alone in a blaze That you don't know Heartache seem to ??? You can't get ahead Looking for that free spirit But find yourself dead alone Searching for the only one Yes, the only one You wanna keep going Someday maybe ??? Endless shadows gone To find the only one Till all that happens Before it's ??? Is walking in shadows Before the only one comes Searching for the only one etc. ??? Alone in company To find across the crowd A face you did not see Heartaches they don't follow They seem to fade away Looking for that soul connection Maybe find today The only one Searching for the only one etc.

Message :	Working out the lyrics for "Some Several Moons" I suddenly remembered a lyric I wrote myself in 1978 when I was trying to write songs like JP. Some may like it, or perhaps not. In any case here it is - a Pembroke Pastiche! NASTY PROBLEMS IN THE MORNING When James woke up that morning He was in for a big surprise His bedroom full of midgets He just couldn't believe his eyes Coz they were Tearing down the curtains Swinging in the chandelier Dropping droppings All over the place Play Bridge, Go Fish And Darts and Poker In a gambling craze Now Jim got out of bed And ran downstairs to call his wife She was having her vacation Tryin' to get away from life She said, I don't know what's wrong with you But delirium tremens I should think Go see a psychiatrist Or try and throw up in the sink Chorus: Oh, aha-ha, ah-ha-ha Got those problems in the morning A-ha-ha, uh-uh-uh Got those problems in the morning (Guitar solo) Now all this happened years ago In '47 In the summer that was over Much too soon And it was well before they started Moving all those midgets To the backside of the moon There was just that one asylum In Newcastle Upon Tyne They tried electrocution Now he's suing them one at a time Chorus repeat Copyright the Tanskalainen, 1978

Message :	I saw it once as a joke. The Danish comedian Jesper Klein (who sadly passed away last year) was using empty milk cartons as shoes, back in the 70s when recycling became an issue (again). Lyric is in the mail for you ...

Message :	"The chocolate dildo suffered meltdown" ...! I think we have most of it now, only a few question marks left where he is deliberately making himself incomprehensible, so what can you do. Thanks for the help. It's incredible how much better this song becomes once you have the lyric in front of you. A real classic. This album is finally opening up for me. A bit of an overlooked gem, methinks. I'm thinking of putting all the lyrics on the discussion forum, which has been lying dormant for far to long anyway. Then people can keep putting in comments. Wig on!
