dum de dum. i had an email from sarah a couple of months ago and the address she gave me to reply to was john smith's bookshop in glasgow. isn't this the one where mr pastel also works?

Right ...

and nobody answered when i asked whether 'songs for children' that was mentioned in a list of upcoming songs was a cover of the pastels track. does anyone know?

Most probably not, since "Songs for children" was, to the best of my knowledge, never a Pastels song. However, it was the title of their Whaam debut 7", the a-side being the marvellous hymn "Heavens above" ... Sigh ... Daniel Treacy, proprietor of Whaam!
