open.spotify.com/track/2zUPjC... I think part of this might be an early version of I'm Only Sleeping - similar chords and if you add a third harmony to the melody you get the, 'please don't wake me' section.

Yesterday's Observer. (What makes it an absolutely joyful typo are the repeated references to size: 'go big or go home', 'diminutive', and 'small but mighty'). @privateeyenews.bsky.social
A reference in the Observer to Shabana Mahmood being '1.52cm tall'.

#RIP Michael Hurley. This song has beguiled me for years. Like all of Hurley’s best compositions, it’s like a spell or a riddle conjured from the other side of the looking glass. youtu.be/U9jbiKNVX9I?...
