If any of yall know what the little quips are that Bill adds at the end of the songs, please let me know. I'm only familiar with ‘have a banana’.

Edit: "Won't you take me down / The Old Kent Road" is probably a reference to the cockney-style music hall song ‘Wot Cher! Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road’.

"It means nothing to me, means nothing to me / Ah, Vienna" is from Ultravox's ‘Vienna’.

"Heathcliffe, it's me, I'm Kathy, I've come home / Put the kettle on, have a lovely cup of tea" is a riff on Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights'.

The aforementioned 'have a banana' is a refrain that was often added to the music hall song ‘Let's All Go Down the Strand’.
