about

This song ends the record with the Crumbs speaking into the void. It's a song about being lazy, bored and amused on a summer night. Anything is possible, but why try? “I’ve tasted caviar, I've tasted more”.

lyrics

I don't wanna eat, I've eaten before.
I've tasted caviar, I've tasted more
If the bright lights don't beckon me tonight,
Baby don't you frown.
And if you hear a noise in the distance
that's me, with a voodoo lantern.

Top Hat and Funny Face.

Is that a white rabbit behind a white curtain? No!
It's me, with four fingers and a thumb.

Top Hat and Funny Face.

Where do songs come from? This just happened one day at home with the catalyst of Kaye's sweet vocals and strummed acoustic along with Hamish noodling on a bass recorder in the adjoining room while I felt my way with my bass guitar and recording the moment in our home "studio". Hamish added drums and Kaye an iPad Beebot keyboard. Then Alec added his wonderful guitars. Mix the ingredients together and bake the cake. Consume. Paul Kean
