   Andy: “Now here's an oddity, and the story goes like this. My very good friend Mark Thomas, renowned illustrator (who drew the Ape Logo), has a hobby type band in which he drums. In May 1994 his wife Janie rang me to ask if I would record a song that Mark and his bandmate Martin ‘Woody’ Wood had written, saying that it would be a huge thrill for his birthday to hear me singing one of his tunes. Of course I obliged, I even thought it was a pretty song. His band ‘Strange Fruit’ still kick around doing the odd gig out and about, if you see them go and say hello from me.”

Lyrics

It takes a week to talk a fortnight in my mind. It takes an age for me to calculate the time, and I don't consider miracles, and I won't consider facts. All this rigamarole's a time waste and the clock hands get the sack. In my hand, in my hand I thought I'd got a grasp of things but it slipped through just like sand. With my hand, with my hand I thought I'd mapped this countryside but it's still a foreign land, so I'll need a helping hand. In taking two steps forward I end up one back. In taking so much nonsense surely means I'll crack and I don't imagine changing and I'll shout I'm alright Jack, all these short cuts end in dead ends and there's just no turning back. In my hand, in my hand I thought I'd got a grasp of things but it slipped through just like sand. With my hand, with my hand I thought I'd mapped this countryside but it's still a foreign land, so I'll need a helping hand. If you take a trip to nowhere it might blow your mind. So take a friend, and in the end the answers you will find. In my hand, in my hand I thought I'd got a grasp of things but it slipped through just like sand. With my hand, with my hand I thought I'd mapped this countryside but it's still a foreign land... So I'll need a helping hand. In my hand.
