"Shortly after his Grandfathers funeral Jimmy discovered a ukulele in the attic and a small handwritten book of his grandfathers poetry....He met Eleanor the day after his best friends wedding, at a Libertines gig.

He wrote some songs about shagging.
She wrote some songs influenced by words she had seen written on toilet walls.
They are repeatedly described as "Genius" and once as "Dostoevsky singing Lonnie Donnegan" Both descriptions are correct."
