Around you
Please don’t pick at that scab

My dad, Jimmy Higgins (17.08.1937 - 05.10.1977) would have been 80 years old today, sadly he passed away at the age of 41. He was quite a guy and fitted more into his short life than i could probably fit in if i live to be 200 years old.

this has taken on a greater meaning with the news about scottish author iain banks. my thoughts are with him and his family.

Wonderful track, ORH, it's simple and doesn't try to be more or less than it is. Hits the nail on the head, so to speak.
