I remember Letters Sent (Achtung Bono)

Sewage farm an absolute disgrace
Picnic table somewhat out of place
Leisure centre cashpoint
Always out of order
And there’s too much chlorine in the pool

Thirteen across
Where was the clue?
Bird on the wire
Len, you’re the dogs’

I've heard parts too. Delightfully wry and self-effacing.

The album has been streaming all week at NPR All Songs First Listen. Four or five excellent tracks, more 'Dear Heather' than the richness of 'Ten New Songs' but certainly in my shopping basket. My wife is rather in love with LC!
