This is a playlist about tramps, bums, hobos and vagabonds. Jumping trains, stealing potatoes, skippering down for the night in someones shed, dancing in worn out shoes. I'm not ashamed of my love for the tramp, although perhaps I should be. It is a ridiculous fantasy and I guess real-life homelessness is in fact pretty shit.

But then I don't think it does any harm to suppose that someone who has lost everything in life, who has been forced to the margins, has the possibility of finding some contentment and of having a bit of dignity.
