As The Beer Flows Over Me was the catalyst for this entire project. Written by Cope for his own funeral, the song celebrates our own northern latitudes, and beseeches listeners to diss the southern lands of the grape in favour of beer, beer and lager beer. Liver Big As Hartlepool celebrates Copes adopted city of Liverpool through the metaphysical lens. The 19-minutes-long epic On The Road to Tralee concludes the album with 20 drunken miles of bad memories, quaint observations and rustic incidentals. Expect Copes usual massed ranks of Mellotron 400, alongside all manner of humorous and poignant commentaries a perfect respite for these Trumped-up troubled times.
