"Some have found love. A fan from Britain wed a Jersey gal."
Hands up! Guilty as charged
"The Lightheads gave them a quilt with Lightfoot themes. Gord signed the middle square."

the "middle" square
(actually a beautifully needleworked replica of the original signed pice of cloth by the "Queen of the Quilt" Jenney)
We treasure this quilt which was memoriably presented to us in Gord's presence in Norwalk CT in August 2000 and we were then able to display it in Toronto at the Charbecue and Massey Hall in May 2001
John Fowles
With a sign that says just Mother

Give me a sign, tell it to me She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang in the hall

signs of a life worth living The better to forget than to be all that upset

It's the time to taste the wine
Im lost with no road signs to guide me
A slave to my whiskey and dreams
Bells of the evening

"And the applause sign was flashing on and off and it was a nightmare."
and finally not a lyric but from an old 1970 interview at:-
