The LP Sulk was a student favourite of mine and this track had one of the most bizarre lyrics I've ever come across, so I had to comment on it. I can only imagine it was about a dream or he was on something, a hallucinogen like LSD maybe (try one too might be a clue here, and that once you've tried one you feel like skipping but might feel both marvellous and lousy). Whatever strange mental state he was in, Belgian waterways seems to feature prominently in it, as we have Belgian wharves and a Griffon Bruxellois (not a Beauxillois griffin, though that's the lyric) is a type of Belgian barge dog. I always liked the idea of roads that just happened to be there - a wonderfully surreal concept.
