12 Celandine 1970
This uses the ‘other’ LC picking style. Again Ralph Simpson would play flute for an instrumental verse and add frills around the vocals.
Celandine is only human
but her mother lends a hand
Likes to sit and play the works of Schumann
on her brother’s one man band
Secretly longing for the days
when Elvis Presley was the rage
Opening a box of Christmas crackers
that she bought at Easter for a song
Says a prayer for all the tramps and slackers
for she knows they’re doing wrong
Hoping her wedding will be white
with every Valentine she writes.
