    A lovely gatefold digifile CD, with a disturbingly red vampyric outer cover and a soothing blue lacustrine gatefold. We've chosen this format as it minimises use of plastic in the packaging, while still giving a bloody lovely product!

about

Despite wishful thinking on the part of some, this song is not about Mr Johnson. It's about another, altogether more elegant, Boris entirely. He's an Abba fan.

lyrics

Are you looking for him?
Are you looking for the man within?
A mystery man; A renaissance man
A man you can’t lay a finger on
Are you searching for him?
Are you searching for original sin?
A McCavity man A shadow man
A man you can’t pin down
And if you’re looking for a way out, he won’t stand in your way

BbbbbbbBoris is a hologram
Debonair, don’t give a damn
Flirty, smooth a ladies’ man
He’ll wham bam and thankyou ma’am, because

BbbbbbbBoris is a hologram
Away with Yeats to Bethlehem
Wi’ Jamie’s and a little can
He’ll make you an Abba fan
He’ll rock ‘n’ roll ya, steal your soul, ya
The Centre Cannot Hold

Are you waiting for him?
Well, you’re gonna be waiting in vain
He’s a Super Trooper; A Party Pooper
A bear of very little brain
Are you longing for him?
Do you think you know the Name of the Game?
From Voulez Vous to Waterloo
A man of notoriety and fame
And if you’re looking for a way out, he won’t stand in your way

BbbbbbbBoris is a hologram
Debonair, don’t give a damn
Flirty, smooth a ladies’ man
He’ll wham bam and thankyou ma’am, because

BbbbbbbBoris is a hologram
Away with Yeats to Bethlehem
Wi’ Jamie’s and a little can
He’ll make you an Abba fan
He’ll rock ‘n’ roll ya, steal your soul, ya
The Centre Cannot Hold, because
BbbbbbbBoris is a hologram

Poke O'Swedgers are Kev and Dave. Kev sings beautifully. Dave fumbles around with guitar. They write their own rhapsodies - delicate folk tales of impossible romance, computer programming and quantum physics. Their songs have a slight Scottish tang.
