Dear Jools,
I have recently purchased your new album "Small World Big Band". I am very pleased with it and am interested to know about the song "Oranges and Lemons" written about Mr Ian Dury. I am sorry if this may sound rather foolish but I dont understand the use of the phrase oranges and lemons. I thought it may be a reference to one arm bandit machines. Especially with the next line " 3 bells in a row" .. is this referring to Ian as a one arm bandit? :).. or is it meant as a metaphor of life and luck .. ie you win some/ you lose some? I know the nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons" has reference to the Bells of St.Clements ..but there are 10 bells at that Church apparently ...not 3 in a line. ;) I would be very grateful and interested in your thoughts on this subject. Love Mad_lizzie :) x ___________________________________________ Elizabeth Quinby madness.info w: http://madness.info e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] f: +44[0]20 8642 4306 ______________________________________________________________ Visit the Total Madness Mailing List website for: news, members section, madmeet info, list charter, competitions, & more... http://www.madness7.com Contact the TMML Moderators at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the message body put: unsubscribe total-madness
