"Is an icicle cage for a faery queen" or
"an icicle cage d'you know wot I mean?" Charisma Records boss and Genesis's manager, Tony Stratton Smith was intrigued by that line too and quizzed me about it. It was my attempt at a piece of Syd Barrett syle gobbledegook. It worked.
I wasn't the only one to pillage Adrian Henri, Paul Weller Tonight at Noon, (the Jam's second album) also had a piece off it.
I paid the favour down later by half nicking the riff of that for the Stray Trolley's Love Into Action. What a confession!
