The Duke of Beaufoot is not at home today.
He's very tired he thought he'd go away.
You wait for him, your eyes are on the door,
you know no other way.
The Duke of Beaufoot is very kind to cats.
Keeps them in his cellar to help him catch his rats.
He's very noble and his lineage is pure
but you, you're a whore.
The Duke of Splendour just wasn't much amused
and now you knew you'd been abused.
If you'd had help you might have buggered up his fuse
but alone you're too confused.
"He picked me up
I was on the street.
He made it clear he would use me.
My parents died, I was three years old,
I had to make a living.
Close your eyes...
Close your eyes...
In a lot of ways
I am close to him,
though he may seem to ignore it.
I'm sure he cares, at least I think he does.
It's just he's very busy.
Close your eyes...
Close your eyes...
Here's today, says the telegraph
It's the world, it's the world
Gone away on a phonograph
Riding high, riding high
There's a way says the cenotaph
You will find, you will find
Gone in search of an epitaph
Running wild, running wild"
You saw them coming forward
asking you to be kind.
You couldn't face their council,
they were men full of greed.
In your position nothing's sacred
you have only the wine.
"You stand alone
but not alone in your loneliness,
and yet there must be more
I can't believe that all has been in vain."
If there is it's be sure of friendship
as the hours grow long.
Rest assured that this phase is passing,
give yourself a chance.

Barbara Gaskin must be mentioned for her exquisite singing, all the more beautiful for contrast with Martin Cockerhams raw, unpolished lead vocals.Spirogyra has been a cult band of the seventies.They never had much success as mainstream band but the few people that liked their music, were (and are!) idolate.For good reason, Spirogyra is magic and this song may tell you how.Please think what the lyrics of this song mean to you.I do not understand them at all, yet, the song is chillingly beautiful and I know it has a deep meaning.The Duke of BeaufootIs not at home todayHe's very tiredHe thought he'd go awayYou wait for him,Your eyes are on the doorYou know no other wayThe Duke of BeaufootIs very kind to catsKeeps them in his cellarTo help him catch his ratsHe's very nobleAnd his lineage is pureBut you, you're a whoreThe Duke of SplendourJust wasn't much amusedAnd nor were youYou knew you'd been abusedIf you'd had helpYou might have buggered up his fuseBut alone, you're too confusedHe picked me up, I was on the streetHe made it clear he would use meMy parents died, I was three years oldI had to make a livingClose your eyes, close your eyesIn a lot of ways, I'm close to himThough he may seem to ignore itI'm sure he cares,At least, I think he doesIt's just he's very busyClose your eyes, close your eyesHere's today says "The Telegraph"It's the world, it's the worldGone away on a phonographRiding high, riding highThere's a way says the CenotaphYou will find, you will findGone in search of an EpitaphRunning wild, running wildYou saw them coming forwardAsking you to be kindYou couldn't face their councilThey were men full of greedIn your position nothing's sacredYou have only the wineYou stand aloneBut not alone in your lonelinessAnd yet there must be moreI can't believe that all has been in vainAnd if it isn'tBe sure of friendshipAs the hours grow longRest assured that this phase is passingGive yourself a chance10 years ago
