Annotations: Following A Star

As with so very very many of my songs, this one was started off on the way home from the pub, with the bit about a star being frightened of the moon, which I thought at the time was Actually Quite Good. It took AGES after that to get finished, with the chorus being around for MONTHS with nowhere to go, until I had the (to me) GRATE idea of going for Christmas Style Metaphors. I also decided to do one with CLEVER WORDS, as some recent ones hadn't felt so BRANY, hence this features the words "supparate" and "meta-versal", which may not actually exist as such, but which I LIKE. I was also Rather Chuffed with the More, Common Sense and Cold bit - Myrhh Frankincense and Gold, do you see? DO YOU?

Nobody really liked it, so I reused the tune for Programming Is A Poetry For Our Time instead. That never really got recorded properly either...
