    I have always loved this track - 'arse the size of a small country' indeed!

    I've been listening to this song for about ten years and I had no idea the "when you're tired and feeling stressed" speech only came out the left audio channel. The more you know...

    Neil Hannon is one of those people who became very rare in modern times. He loves and enjoys what he is doing and you can hear that in each and every single song. Thanks Neil!

    Much more fun than actually riding the National Express.

    Pull up a chair, sitting comfortably, enjoy this Broadway musical crammed into 5 incredible minutes. Totally amazing offering from a very clever band so very Macartneyesque, fabulous stuff

    I love the way he sings "Let's GO!" just before the guitar break - makes getting on a coach for a carefree ride up the motorway seem like the best idea ever...
