Fun Facts: * The acoustic guitar is tuned DADGBE for Treasure. * It is possible that the first verse of this song was taken directly from the Everyone play itself, so may need to be credited to Frederick Franck, the play's author. * This song was played when Everyone was left unfulfilled by his material possessions and his money. * It was always called Treasure, its working title, and was never given another name. * On the occasion of the Blaze expedition, after lunch and a few ales, another version of this song was recorded. * It was arguably not quite entirely triumphant. * The post-lunch version, along with The Cabbage Blues, is available only to people who were present on the day, and only by request. * Treasure evolved into a Now song called Obsession, which was a truly ghastly and prolonged outburst of drunken nonsensical rantings. * Treasure was also subsequently performed by Fooog Dinboffin and the Release, Now, Lemming Meringue and Wud.
