The song contains the line-

"Carl Gustav Jung said it right, that Liverpool's the pool of life"

The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, who had never visited the city, had a dream. He recalls the dream in the book Memories, dreams, reflections. In the dream he visits a city, dark and dismal and run down, but in the middle of the city is a pool with an island at its centre. On the island is a magnolia tree.

He comments:
The dream represented my situation at the time. I can still see the grayish-yellow raincoats, glistening with the wetness of the rain. Everything was extremely unpleasant, black and opaque – just as I felt then. But I had a vision of unearthly beauty, and that is why I was able to live at all. Liverpool is the “pool of life.” The “liver,” according to an old view, is the seat of life, that which makes to live.”

When I were a lad there was a nice bust of Carl Gustav Jung leaning out of the wall outside Flannagan's Apple (an Irish pub in the city centre). I was always fascinated by this. I had no idea who it was. Underneath was a plaque with "Liverpool is the pool of life" on it. The bust has been replaced now by an awful, cheap and shabby version due to scum wrecking it (surprise, surprise). I think the original is in the museum or somewhere.

Anyway, much later I read Memories, dreams, reflections, which I can recommend, and there was the dream recalled by Jung.

No idea when it will be up on Youtube, but , as I said, I will just do a lyric video first I think and then when we get over again we will do a video showing the landmarks as mentioned in the song.
