Most of the signposts on that road seem to have reiterated the lines from "Hedgehog's Song".
In the dark abyss of time, the Incredible String Band had a number called "Hedgehog's Song", containing the lines: "Oh, you know all the words and you sing all the notes, / But you never quite learned the song." The context was the narrator's failure to connect fully with the various girls he encountered, but the problem could be rendered more generally as that of authenticity. The teenage Andrew Greig was one half of a sadly unrecorded duo called Fate & Ferret, who made contact with the Incredibles' management and were encouraged to send in tapes, to which the legendary Joe Boyd listened with tolerant amusement. Music was not to be Greig's vocation, alas: he turned out to be a poet with a hard road ahead.
