Scott Goulet

No thank you.

Ian Reeve

This got me through my dad's passing.

Ablejack Courtney

I, the undermentioned, by this documentDo declare me true intentions, my last will my testamentWhen I turn up me toes, when I rattle me clack, when I agonize I want no great wet weepings, no tearing of hair, no wringing of handsNo sighs, no lacadaise, no "Woe is me" and none of your sad adieusGo go go and get the priest and then go, get the booze boysDeath, Where is thy victory? Grave, Where is thy sting? When I snuff it bury me quickly, then let carousals beginBut not ado, with a few ham sandwiches, a sausage roll or twoAnd a small port wine pleaseRoll the carpet right back, get cracking with your old gay gordonsand your knees up, shake it up, live it up, sop it up,Hell! Have a kind of a time. And if the coppers come around well tell them, The party's mine boysLet best beef be eaten, fill every empty glassLet no breast be beaten, let no tooth be gnashedDon't bother with a fancy tombstone, or a big deal angel or a little copper flowerpotPlant a dog-rose in my eyes or a pussywillow, but no forget-me-notsNo epitaphs, no keepsakes you can let me memory slipYou can say a prayer or two for me solemn but make it quick boysLady if your bosom is heaving, Don't waste your bosom on meLet it heave for a man who's breathing, a man who can feel, a man who can seeAnd to me cronies you can read me books,You can drive around in me motorcar, And you can fish your trout with my fly and tackleYou can play on my guitar, and sing me songsWear me shirts, you can even settle me debtsYou can kiss my little Misses if she's willing then, but no regrets boysYour rosebuds are numbered, gather them now for rosebuds' sakeAnd if your hands aren't too encumbered, gather a bud or two for Jake

Jonathan Blaque

A genuinely brilliant songsmith.

This COULD be one of mine: in point of fact it probably isn't : it's dated 1967, and I worked with Jake in 1968, when I directed a show called "Tickertape" for ITV, and he was in it. Another reason it probably isn't mine is because it's shot on one camera, and I had three cameras at Granville Studio in Fulham, where "Tickertape" was made. But I do seem to recognise the poloneck sweater, though!

Gwennie calder-boyes

Pity they (EMI? They were notorious for that) had to stick on that ghastly backing music. You can't hear his guitar.

Any Arctic Monkeys fans? Thackray was an inspiration for one of their songs as apparently the way he pronounced things was 'hilarious'! :-D
