Better than anything,
So Pat, you say it's better than anything
Yes Is it better than a
whole night on the sofa
with a full tub of Haagen -Dazs
salted caramel ice cream,
other brands might be available.
Well probably not as far as you're concerned,
but it's definitely better than that for
Bbm
me.
just pandering to the audience here,
is it better than the culmination
of the Helen Robb storyline
in The Archers
when she was found not guilty?
That was very satisfying.
It was way better than that.
Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talked about not doing politics,
didn't we,
but you'll have to bear with
me here.
Is it better than the look
on Zach Goldsmith's face
Oh, go on.
For the sake of the song,
I'm going to have to say,
yes, it's better than that.
But do I believe you?
I don't care.
Jazz is about believing.
Should we take this home?

cept being in love
My mother tended to work
on a need -to -know basis
She was a bit of a pioneer
in transgender issues.
She, in the 70s,
did a series called Crossing Over
for BBC Radio 4,
all about people who are transvestites,
transsexuals.
And at the end of the series,
the last programme was a documentary discussion,
roundtable discussion.
And she decided it needed to take
place
in a domestic setting,
and the domestic setting she chose
was our house.
And I came home from school to be told,
because she didn't tell
me before I went to school,
she told me when I got home,
said six people be changing
in your room
and six people be changing
in your brothers
and six men went into mine
and six women came out and I
I think it's made
me the man stroke woman
that I am today
I can't actually see her that's actually a link into this next song in any way
whatsoever it's not is it although it's all about a relationship
so she was big on relationships
and emotion
and this really is one of those songs
that sounds like a letter to an agony aunt
it's called after you've gone
How did you like the song?
