Is that a typo in the final line or have I missed a reference?

It’s a continuation of the Strange Town quotes.

They worry themselves about feeling low, they worry themselves about the dreadful snow…

Good stuff.

One of the many problems with going to Wolves is being betrayed by your accent and manners. ;)

I always thought that the words were "Strange Town walk now!". Percy, I believe it was 'Cookie' (Look what became of him: Snobs, Sunflower Lounge, Sun on the Hill...) who sang those misheard lyrics while strutting up and down, back in 1979. This article has set me straight after all these years.
