Typical rock musician! Those of us with acqauinted with English traditional music know the
Lancashire Pace-Egging Song:
O the next that comes in is Lord Collingwood,
He fought with Lord Nelson till he shed his blood;
He fought with Lord Nelson through sorrow and woe -
And I hope you'll reward us before we do go.
P.S. for non-English readers, Pace-Egging is one of our many ancient customs that involve parting people from their money around Christmas/New Year.
