Interesting lyrics.
I wonder if that one line is a reference to
the one surrealist (I forget his name) who walked his pet lobster on a leash?
Who knows.

Vivian Stanshall...is insane though.

I have a few of his rather *odd* albums..one of him just talking crazy nonsense
...in a thick British accent of course. It's kind of relaxing actually.

He has a wonderful voice. I love his "narration" in Oldfi*ld's Tub*lar B*lls heard in this clip @ 2:20 but don't miss the beginning of this part. The whole suite is about 45 minutes long. (This piece tends to get removed from YT on a regular basis )

There is an album by The Grimms called Rockin' Duck from the early '70's, which had a track "Take It While You Can" which would fit here in this tread, but cannot be found anywhere. There was a CD released but is rare, it can be had for $100.....Members of Bonzo Dog Band with Vivian Stanshall, too I believe, were part of The Grimms, minus Viv.
