Songs and wrongs

The title of this collection and of some the individual pieces in it suggests that a number of these poems were destined for musical treatment: 'The Song of Superman', 'The Song of the Life Support Machine', 'Song of the Sheet Metal Man', and indeed many have made it onto vinyl and CD. These also include 'Be Kind to Worms' Week', 'A Bad Day at the City', 'I Dreamt I was in a Commercial', 'Brain Damage Blues', 'Bad Eyesight', amongst others published here for the first time.
