It's a ballad all right, like something out of "the old weird America" (was that Greil Marcus?) - more British, though, more literate, I suppose, and less earthy. I really like the "Dog eat dog" verse - like a cross between Dylan and Harry Belafonte. I kept thinking of Jeremy Fisher.

Seemingly you very much like this poem, yuh shite. And Heaven forbid there should be too many characters, Tom. Love you. And one pint?

I get confused by too many characters. It's a lovely angry bastard of a ballad. If I buy you a pint will you bring Guitar and perhaps a Paul and Play this in Glasgow?
