Woohoo! The Steeleye Span song 'Who Told The Butcher' (second song down) has been confusing me ever since going to see them live in the summer. But some judicious Googling has finally told me what it's about, and I'm very amused :)

Fly fishing ?! I'd always assumed it was historical.

I share your boggle. I read the lyrics and thought it was about telling on and ducking witches.

The capitalised things seem to be the names of fishing flies for catching trout/salmon. Yes, I thought of witches too :)

Eee - today I bought the Spiers and Boden 'Burlesque' album, which has the 'London Town' I was raving to you about - shall I send it over?

I think that would make my Gmail account very happy :)

What was it you were saying was particularly special about the song?
