   Andy: “A piece of unfinished strummery for ‘Oranges’ (I think the first tentative idea I put down) captured quick before I forgot it!”

   Andy: “Quickly thrown down first song idea for the Oranges and Lemons album. Obviously a second take as a piece of la la lyric from take 1 is left unerased at the end.”

Lyrics

Here comes my neck
And here comes the axe
Covered my ears
Scared of the facts

I never dreamt that that was the answer I'd hear
I've been clocking up the courage to ask you all year
Now I'm reeling, punchy with success

Because her answer was yes
To every little question I could ask her
Why her answer was yes
The pessimist in me expects disaster
But her answer was yes

Here comes my hand
Here Here... (fade out with first take gibberish)

[Thanks to Dave Franson]
