Commentary
Almost detached bewilderment as the strain begins to tell on a relationship
presented to friends, and seen by them, as 'perfect'.
The music was written by Jon Hunt who attempted to imitate my musical style!
For more than 30 years, Comet was a warehouse retailer of electrical goods (including washing machines) in the UK until it finally went bust in 2012.
In 1990 Radion was a brand new brand of (clothes) washing powder. It was withdrawn in 2000.
Sing a song of sixpence
a pocket full of vomit.
We've got a new washing machine.
The price was the same as at Comet.
And every day's a brand new day
but somebody forgot to tell God
and with Radion
all odours are gone
and no-
What does it mean?
We've got a new washing machine.
It makes the clothes clean.
It doesn't matter how dirty they've been
Mary had a little lamb.
Its fleece was as white as soot.
They both could have used our new washing machine
when the lamb decorated her foot.
And dirty linen's wearing thin
and hanging out to dry.
Oh it seems 'hello'
was long ago.
Was the washing machine a 'good buy'?
Our clothes are all in.
So let the programme begin.
Into a spin.
The water and suds go round and round.
