The cigar goes to the non-smoker in Stroud.

The lyrics are from "Andy Warhol" on Hunky Dory, by David Bowie.

"In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off...."

Cheery little number.

song and manic depressive singing it, please.

I am ashamed to say I recognise that ditty. Its Alone Again, Naturally (no irony?) by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

My sister used to play it all the time.

Course she did matey, so did mine.

GOS was well known for his slightly strange lyrics back in the early 70s, including some decided dodgy musings about a young girl called 'Clair'.

anyhows, back over to you postie.

A highly regarded sound recordist at the BBC started off in a not totally dissimilar vein in a three piece group which started in the mid 70's and went on for a surprisingly (if you heard their music you would probably agree) long time, certainly into the 80's when they moved from Rough Trade to Virgin.

Which group?

I will be available for clues from tomorrow.

I reckon it's one of those bands that you can tell are pretentious and sh*t just by looking at their album covers.

I'm going to go for Camel.

To be fair, the band's name tells you everything you need to know about the music - not to listen to it.

And its not Camel.
