The 92/93 campaign brought you celebration Hoddle led you to the 2nd Premier League season but before the champaign had a chance to go flat he was nicked by Ken Bates & Matthew Harding at Chelsea...and forever a twat. 14th of August '93, started with a loss then another...and another, then a fourth against lowly Southampton. Took 16 games before you struck gold, on the 24th of November when I was 10 and a half years old. Swindon, Swindon...you fascinated me Swindon, Oh Swindon...Martin Ling and Fraser Digby Swindon, yeah Swindon...Jan Fjørtoft and Kevin Horlock Swindon, I really cared about John Moncur. 93 turned into 94, I remember it quite well 'Things Can Only Get Better' was everywhere...Top Of The Pops Well, Swindon Town DID improve with back-to-back wins John Gorman's job was no longer a fear, haunting him. Swindon, Swindon...you fascinated me Swindon, Oh Swindon...Martin Ling and Fraser Digby Swindon, yeah Swindon...Jan Fjørtoft and Kevin Horlock Swindon, I really cared about John Moncur. x2 Ultimately, the weight of 'The Greatest League In The World' crumbled Swindon, they conceded 100 goals...poor Fraser Digby. They went down in 94...and again in 95 In my heart their delusion burns bright. Forever.

A long history of recording music, Claire has straddled almost every musical styling yet imbues her music with a rich melodic tendency which makes her experimental pop ease into your being over time. If you let it.
