| Well, I did think of singing Thee's Got'n Where Thee Cassn't Back'n Hassn't, but I reckoned the Geordies would never have understood the lyrics It was indeed a song from and about the south-west, but from Devon rather than Somerset: Country Life, written by Steve Knightley (of Show of Hands in case anyone doesn't know him). I'd been singing it at folk clubs and the like, so the lyrics were fresh in my mind at the time. Cheers Paul
