This be the Verse / High Windows – Philip Larkin

Our setting of Larkin’s poem with one of the most famous first lines in English Lit. “They f*ck you up your Mum and Dad” (thanks to Lily Rae for guest vocals), coupled with “High Windows”.

Click ‘play’ to listen… sorry but we are not allowed to offer this one as a free download, nor reproduce the text of the poems. We are allowed to sell it though and you can buy a download from Corporate Records for less than the price of a Gregg’s sausage roll.
