about

The 6-panel CD artwork is a reflection on the past and the present with a wonderful recreation of an old group photo including Philip as a young man and his passport photo when he left his Canadian homeland for the UK in the 1970's.

That means country, roots, blues, ragtime, ballads and more – as seen through the eyes and written with the pen of a Montreal native, albeit one who’s been holed up in the UK for many years. This is, after all, the man who co-wrote ‘There’s A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis’ with Kirsty MacCol

lyrics

I like my oysters by the dozen,
I like a seafood smorgasbord
I buy my whole foods from my cousin.
Before I eat I praise my lord.

Yes my taste are Continental,
I’m into wurst and sauerkraut
A carbonara makes me mental
Now that’s what I call Piggin’ Out

I love all kinds of flavours, I love all kinds of tastes
And every one I savour, as I shove them in my face

I really like a mashed potato
I much prefer it now to blow
And yes my passion’s sublimated
And my brain’s a little slow

And though I still enjoy a blow out
It’s not what I am all about
A friendly meal around a table
Now that’s what I call piggin’ out

I love all kinds of sweet things, I love all kinds of spice
And I just like to eat things, and I offer my advice

We’re in a world of toil and trouble
Of our own making there’s no doubt
If you believe in Carpe Diem
There’s nothing wrong with piggin’ out

We’re in a world of toil and trouble
Of our own making there’s no doubt
If you believe in Carpe Diem
There’s nothing wrong with piggin’ out

If you’re and honest human being
Don’t be ashamed of piggin’ out
