it is an utterly sumptuous song, and Mr Hawley is a national gem. A drunken Pitsmoor genius. Which, in my opinion, is the ideal kind of genius.
On first listening, it does appear to be a love song, which I guess it is. But not in a relationship sense. The song was a sonnet to his new born baby daughter - according to Richard himself in an interview with Mark Radcliffe back in the day when he was still on Radio 1 with Lard - and is, I assume, farther advice to her on how life may turn out, and no matter how good or bad it may be: you'll be alright kiddo.
