Only song #2... slow going this year!
Make the tea, tea-maker make the tea
Make the tea, tea-maker make the tea
Rise from your sleep, shake the dust from your clothes
Letting it steep in a pot by the stove
Make the tea, tea-maker make the tea
Sip the tea, tea-maker, sip the tea
Sip the tea, tea-maker, sip the tea
What's being said now on BBC-2
Is a long, golden thread that connect me to you
Sip the tea, tea-maker, sip the tea
Spill the tea, tea-maker, spill the tea
Spill the tea, tea-maker, spill the tea
Your long-vanished youth, creeping back through your dreams
A well-hidden truth never quite what it seems
Spill the tea, tea-maker, spill the tea
Sip the tea, tea-maker, sip the tea
Make the tea, tea-maker...

I love this. Partially because it's so different from a typical SMD song,
and partially because it's beautiful.

Bit of anglophillia, eh guv? Delightful. Dig it when the harmonies come in! Well, off to prepare my favorite beverage.

From the description I was not sure I wanted to give this a spin. But I am glad I did. It's delightful and hypnotic. It was far more acoustic than I expected and the lyrics echoed something the Bonzos might have done.
