I've got another recording which I looked for but failed to find when I was 12.
I sort of recognise that, but it's frightfully posh.
So it's, I knew an elf in the Burnham tree, swaying so tenderly, swaying so low.
I think my mother was determined she would make something out of me.
Elocution lessons, piano lessons, singing lessons as soon as anybody would teach me and violin lessons.
And I was an only child for eight and a half years.
Not the piano lessons, because they were with a great aunt who lived in a very dark, frightening house.
And she had a grey parrot called Joseph.
And when I played the wrong notes on the piano, as I mostly did, she would wrap me over the fingers with a wooden ruler.
But I quite like the elocution lessons with... What was she called?
