Known as the Oracle down in Delphi,
he tells me that he's borderline
but doing fine,
almost homeless, in a tent but
couldn't care less,
Sel's a mess, but he's a friend,
lends an ear to me and down in Delphi
that means an awful lot.

On the greenline, another borderline,
a coach takes me to Heathrow
Where I know they grow a seismic melody,
think I'll buy one and send it off to Sel
known as the Oracle
down in Delphi.
Not sure what Sel' is short for but I've only known him for 23 years so I guess there's still time to find out...actually I've only known him for 2 years so it's still early days to ask such questions.
