Cover art for The Laughing Gnome lyrics by David Bowie

No, I don't think there's any hidden meaning to this! I once was amazed to hear a busker on the London Underground singing it. I was disappointed that he skipped straight from the "train to Eastbourne" to the "caviar and honey" - I'd been looking forward to shouting "you look like a Rolling Gnome" at the hirsute singer!
