[00:00.00] Personal Column - Jake Thackray
[00:09.45] Right behind the headlines of the papers
[00:11.95] There's a space entitled Personal
[00:17.69] And since I'm young and sensitive
[00:19.88] It's always there I turn to first of all
[00:26.35] For in between the vibro-massage sauna baths
[00:29.76] The rubber goods the corsetry
[00:35.31] Someone sends a message
[00:36.66] That is classified as advertising Agony
[00:43.86] Agony will always find a way
[00:46.94] You read there every day
[00:48.36] True-life love stories taken short
[00:55.68] Agony at seven-and-a-kick a time
[00:58.69] A stifled sob a line
[01:00.23] A list of breaking hearts and surgical supports
[01:07.33] "Molly will you please come home
[01:09.42] I miss you Will you please forgive me
[01:15.81] I love you very much
[01:17.49] And I am sorry for what I did Love Sidney "
[01:24.33] "Artistic photographs plain paper covers
[01:27.17] Fifty-nine-and-sixpence postage free "
[01:32.63] "Unsightly hair on arms and legs
[01:35.06] And faces is removed quite painlessly "
[01:41.59] Who knows if wayward Molly will return
[01:44.66] Does Sidney really yearn
[01:46.29] And if he does does Molly care
[01:53.26] What quarrel set them at each other's throats
[01:56.38] Did Sidney send for postcards through the post
[01:59.07] Or did Molly grow superfluous hair everywhere
[02:04.94] "Widow 46 would like sophisticated gentleman to contact her
[02:13.49] Similar interests and with a view to friendliness
[02:17.64] Motor car preferred "
[02:21.99] "Mrs Ivy Armitage thanks all her friends for kindnesses
[02:25.79] When times were hard "
[02:30.07] And "The Honorable Dicky Cholmondley
[02:32.15] Is not sending anybody any Christmas cards "
[02:38.74] "Dynamic methods Strengthen and Refine
[02:41.84] The Power of your Mind"
[02:43.29] In case your memories are none too good;
[02:50.20] And if you cannot manage on your own
[02:53.10] Take out a personal loan
[02:54.63] There's no security it's understood
[03:01.47] "Seven days' free trial for an anti-nuclear shelter
[03:06.01] No obligations at all "
[03:09.42] And there's news of debutantes coming out with
[03:12.55] All the customary Belgrave balls
[03:18.15] Ten shillings reward: Box No 33
[03:20.95] Has gone and lost her budgerigar
[03:25.96] "Happy Birthday darling Sheila
[03:27.83] From your Mummy and your Daddy
[03:30.88] Wherever you are "
[03:34.81] Right behind the headlines of the papers
[03:37.48] There's a space entitled Personal
[03:42.71] And for those who get the agony
[03:45.28] That's the place to turn to first of all
