Hi Neil,

Excellent treatment, Tom`s stream of conscious lyrics deserve musical life breathed into them, and you`ve done that beautifully. Well done both of you.
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of forum

This works really well in my opinion. I love they lyrics, clever stuff. Love the way that you have fitted the lyrics to the groove Neil, and this song really has a great groove. Another excellent piece of work.

I'd like to add my thanks to everyone for the generous feedback.

I wrote the lines a while back and posted them on the lyrics section
of the forum and then just forgot about them,too be honest i never
thought they could be turned into a song but that man Neil Conner
is a talented fella and he obviously saw something in them.

I told Neil i like the fact that Mister Marratty was a real person and
Marrattys was a real toyshop in Seaham,County Durham when i was
a lad.

I've said it before and i'll say it again,it's a real buzz to hear some of
your lyrics put to music.
Thanks Neil i love it,cheers everyone,
                                                     Tom.

Great song Neil....my favourite one of yours.

It's really hard to write a tune to lyrics that are already written...so well done you've cracked this well.

Great guitars and instrumental breaks too.

Well done
