Story Behind The Song

Written originally as a commission for a channel four T V documentary aboout the hardships of the Lincolnshire farmworker.

Song Description

A light hearted look at the farmer and his complete unawarness of the fact that things have to be paid for, when one has such vasts amounts of funds the hypocricy sets in and he becomes gleefully unaware of the hardships of his workforce, indeed his main man.

2) My lad's got a brand new car coming tomorrow, you'll have to clean
out that old barn,

Did you get that old van you went to look at, you ought to have
summat livin out here you know, you want extra money?
Deary me...! ! A Na Naah Naah Naah
