I know my Summer'll never come
I know I'll cry until my dying day has come
Let the Winter roll along

Knew I could rely on you Bill.
Lay down is a favourite of mine along with Flying. They did some good stuff.

Lay Down and Part of the Union are the only two I recall.

Was'nt a lot of their stuff a bit off the wall ?

It could be a bit strange at times, but then that was the time for being strange.
Just watched a clip on Youtube of them doing Part Of The Union and Dave Cousins looks like a cross between Jeff Lynne and Mike Harding. There's also an original clip of Lay Down and one done in 2006, don't bother with the 2006 one.

Oh yes, their first album, with Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention) was wonderful, I think it is called All Our Own Work.
