• divine comedy'nin promenade albumunden bir sarki. sarkida ukte listesinde de cok hos gorunecek, sozlugu yazarlar ansiklopedisine cevirecek bir "meshur insan" listesi vardir. neil hannon bu isimleri okur, cogunlukla irlandali komedyen sean hughes, bazilarina da kayitlar sirasinda studyoya girip cikan insanlar cevap verir. bastaki ses funny face filminde audrey hepburn.
• neil hannon'ın; hayrına, kitaplığını kucağımıza döktüğü eğlenceli bir şarkı.
• nakarat kismi da, ayni albumun son sarkisinda (sir) laurence olivier tarafindan zikredilir... soyle ki:
  
  "happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own. he who secure within can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for i have lived today."
  
  orijinali bu mudur, olivier mi yazmistir, yoksa shakespeare vesaire mi yazip olivier'ye mi soyletmistir, bilmem, bilemem...
• neil hannon un kütüphanesinde hafif kronolojik bir gezi...
