Biografia:
Mike Heron e Robin Williamson são ingleses. Formaram a banda nos anos 60 e seguiram pelos anos 70, separando-se depois. No nosso século (XXI) se juntaram novamente e fizeram shows e lançaram novos albuns. É um trabalho bastante melódico, experimental, livre, chegando a ser ingênuo algumas vezes, naif eu diria. Representam a essencia dos movimentos hippies de contracultura dos anos 60, inclusive vivendo em comunidade. Ambos compõem, cantam e tocam vários instrumentos.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
This is played in A on the record (with a capot, I think.)
[Verse 1]
D A
Last winter blew so cold no lies,
D E A
And my fire smoke would not rise
D G D
Soon as the smoke had tried to depart,
G A D
It'd be froze up harder than a landlord's heart.
[Verse 2]
D A
I called up the police, yes and they came round,
D E A
Three days later and very brought down.
D G D
The sergeant he gave this hysterical croak,
G A D
Says, "What do you think you have going here, some kind of a joke?" (Of course I wasn't laughing)
[Verse 3]
D A
He says, "You're causing us officers so much grief,
D E A
Why don't you give us some relief?
D G D
Why don't you call the fire brigade?
G A D
Or maybe why don't you try shovelling the smoke up the chimney with a spade."
[Verse 4]
D A
I borrowed a spade from the woman next door
D E A
And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor.
G D
I was shovelling away, till the closing of day
G A D
and I was singing a smoke-shovelling song
[Verse 5]
D A
After working so hard I went out to my yard
D E A
And I looked up to my chimney so long, (there was nothing to see there).
G D
Just a thousand foot high, way into the sky
G A D
Was a pillar of smoke full of song.
[Middle 8]
G A D
There was an aeroplane stuck in it, but I didn't notice at first
G A D
It was so cunningly disguised as a dragon.
[Verse 6]
D A
Came the summer at last, though it was rainy and fast
D E A
The pillar it melted away
G D
The aeroplane fell with a big smoky smell
G D
And echoing around all over the town,
G A D
Were the words of the smoke shovelling song.
[Middle 8]
G D
And anyone telling a bigger story would have to be telling a lie,
G A D
And anyone thinking a bigger one up, have to be very high.
