There's a documentary of them recording "Towers of London" at The Manor. RBranson sort-of gatecrashes it being wacky and that. And, as a 'break', the vid for G&M is in the middle, clearly recorded the same day (the video, that is)///

yeah there's like a whole album's worth right? Ship Trapped in the Ice is so good

I guess since there is a gag order on them actually talking about the deets of their contract he had to say I hate you in a song.

Pretty much. In Song Stories, Liarbird is (iirc) the only song of 150-odd that's not discussed.
