Even if "shall obey" is correct, surely that is at least a pun on "shallow bay"?

Our Bernard really is a clever bugger with those lyrics at times

Echoes In A Shallow Bay.
And Liz sings "paddy paddy bycycle dewdrops drops" on Pearly Dewdrops Drops

I still have that EP somewhere you know!
:D
No, i knew you were kidding:)
I have it on CD .
Quite. I was a huge Cocteaus fan until they signed to Fontana - they really lost their edge and blanded out after that point and I stopped caring - harsh, I know. But Liz sounds so much better when their music is filled with dramatic peaks and crescendos - too much of their stuff from 93 onwards sounded like anonymous coffee-bar lounge muzak to me. :)
