Ilkley Rocks

Musings on smalltown life

Listen to the voice of Buddha

Listening to the very first Human League LP (at least under that name) while working tonight, I got caught by the lyrics to the seminal ‘Crow and a Baby’. I’d never realised before that it’s an updated version of our own town anthem. What does this remind you of?

"If you think you’re so mature

You’ll end up in a field

You will be someones manure

Mushrooms growing from your back

Feeding some damn carrion bird

Do you want to contribute

to the corruption of the world?"

Okay, not the last bit. *sigh, nostalgia*

Nice to see one of my favourite bands have an Ilkley bias—from their merchandise site.
