From Jan:
"Hugh about the space ship going down or (depending on the
interpretation) emerging from the sea.
Had al to do about an interpretation of me, of the sentence “a banded
the sinking ship” in “a band on a sinking ship” plus our
conversations about “star track” and the space ship the enterprise
………..
The sentence with the picture covers neatly the confusion on the whole
story……….
My handicap dyslexia might create un intended new words………. Or puts
words in places where they should not be
The song as promised and
probably exaggerating our influence

Baeze
Come to sunny scoraic Scotland
There’s the place where you love to be
Bureaucrats and politicians
Live the midgets and annargie
And the wind is laughing
it laugh’s with al its might
Plays with band on sinking ship
will the enterprise1 survive

Jupp Jan Hugh and Bugelwa
we where sawing plaining welding
made the world more wind turbinised 3
winding copper making moulds
all renewably energised
And the wind is laughing
it laugh’s with al its might
band with live jackets on sinking ship
the enterprise it might survive
Jedi’s Denver John and JC
Jupp Jan Hugh and Bugelwa
Coils and magnets blades and stationers
Al as part of a strange world new
Speed amperes voltage windings
We came there with a guide named Hugh
And the wind is laughing
Emerging from the sea
space ship earth as it survives
thanks to this and you and me
