The piece by Jeffrey Prowes was specifically created for Peel's show, so high fidelity masters of this cut is non existent. Here are the words to this song:

*************************************************************************

The Perfumed Garden Blues, (John Peel's Lament)

by Jeffrey Prowes:

I was sittin’ at my radio, alone and feeling blue

When over the airwaves, there came a sound so true

It’s gonna be a sad, sad, day when the Perfumed Garden wilts and dies away

A song so soft and gentle, came into my brain

I listen very slowly, it’s a number by the Jefferson Airplane

It’s gonna be a sad, sad, day when the Perfumed Garden wilts and dies away

He blew my mind... the lovin’ kind... makes everything so fine, fine, fine

I really feel for the tender lovin’ tunes the DJ spins

 He played the Mothers of Invention and the Velvet Underground

He played some freaky music from the Zodiac Cosmic Sounds

It’s gonna be a sad, sad, day when the Perfumed Garden wilts and dies away

Lookin’ dark and gloomy, what am I gonna do?

Between those same grand hours of twelve ‘til two

It’s gonna be a sad, sad, day when the Perfumed Garden wilts and dies away
