Name: Thirteen
Duration: P00H02M18S
Description: Thirteen was the penultimate song to be written for the album. We didn’t have a track thirteen, so Evelyn decided to write a song about the number - and for good measure, as she was revising for her French ‘A’ level at the time, decided to write it in French too. She also basically wrote the piano part, though Andy plays it on the recording.

lyrics

Treize, un nombre malheureux
Un nombre sans bonheur
Et sans joie
Mais aujourd’hui vous etes dans mon coeur
Et vous etes un bonheur
Pour moi.

Mais maintenant un nouveau jour commence
Et pour nous une nouvelle danse
Et maintenant le numero treize a de la bonne chance.
