The Family Tree

from Jean-Michel GEORGE · host Jean-Michel GEORGE

Autopsy of a song : This track was originally written and recorded in October 2012, but something in the air last week called for it to be "dug up" again ... Ironically, it's about life after death (or death after life depending on which club you belong to). Anyway, after some intensive makeup and a brand new haircut I am now happy with it ... RIP :-) Lyrics : Take me by surprise Flash before my eyes Hit me. I'm a conker on a string (Oh God) Is it me below with a tag on my toe ? Is it school bells or church bells I hear ? The little hand is pointing to the 4 And the big hand ... The big hand is pointing at me Shake this mortal coil Cover me in soil Gently, with my conker on a string And in years you'll see In the shape of a tree My soul and spirit roam free

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
