Cover art for Lord Anthony lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

This song make me smile and then smile some more - it was my 10 year old little girl whom pointed out that Lord Anthony was a girl after our 2nd listen. I don't know if Lord Anthony is a reference to School Parkas(snorkels) that everyone in Scotland had in the late 70's early 80's. Or maybe thats just my obscure old mind wishing wistfully.
