The Last Temptation of Chris
It’s All About Me
So tell me: Which is your favourite line from a Chris Difford solo song?
For me, it’s got to be “I’ve got tits, just like my mum,” from ‘Fat As A Fiddle.’ Yes, an obvious one I know but such a classic example of the natural power of simple language. Which is your favourite? Leave a comment!
