“I still have a huge collection of plastic monsters up in our loft. They formed the basis for a whole mythology manifested in enactments, hand drawn comics and films on Super8. We were still playing with them well into my teens!”

lyrics

“Cats and bats and frogs and snakes and spiders and skulls, SKULLS! Slime and worms and cultures of vultures, ants and rats and crabs, CRABS! I like collecting plastic monsters from toy shops, toy shops.
Some people like collecting stamps, some folks like collecting underwear (”He, heh, heh!”), some folks like collecting tar in their lungs, but I like collecting...
Put them on your pillow, like a ready bear, TEDDY BEAR; take ‘em to a DISCO, take ‘em to a fair; take them out to the movies, take them everywhere; take them out to a party, take them out to eat (BEEELLCHHHH!); stuff them up the nose of the people that you meet (SQUELCH!)
Some folks like collecting astronauts, some folks like collecting clothes, some folks like collecting dirt in between their toes, but I like collecting...”
