Ivor Cutler RIP



"Ivor Cutler (15 January 1923 – 3 March 2006) was a Scottish poet, songwriter and humorist. Originally a teacher, he taught at A. S. Neill's Summerhill School. He appeared (as "Buster Bloodvessel") in The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour; on Neil Innes' television programmes; and on John Peel's influential BBC radio programme, for which he recorded a total of twenty-one sessions between 1969 and 1991. In live performances he would accompany himself on a harmonium. Cutler died on 3 March 2006, following a stroke the previous week" (From wikipedia)

"You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.
Now and again we meet for tea, we're two of a kind.

This is our universe, cups of tea.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.

What do we talk of whenever we meet? Nothing at all!
You sit with a sandwich I look at a roll.

Sometimes I open my mouth, and shut it.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.

You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos"

I take in very little current affairs because I find it so depressing/irritating so I'm grateful to you for keeping me informed of truly important news.
