Yeah, I *do* remember that story... I also liked it a lot. Wasn't that in
"The sailor on the seas of fate" (my favorite Elric book, BTW) ? I remember
several Eternal Champions meeting (among which Hawkmoon and Corum if my
memory serves me right) but I don't recall Jery Cornelius being included in
the bunch... The song itself is pretty good though, I agree *smile*

Hmm... I've been wondering about something else. I'm surprised Moorcock
himself hasn't written these lyrics. I was expecting to find his signature
on these songs. I know he did write some songs (quite a few even, I believe
?) for HW, but which ones and on which albums ? (is there a list somewhere ?
is that in the Codex ? if so, I've saved it in my hard drive so I could
check...) I'd like to hear those cause the stuff he wrote for BOC are among
my favorite BOC tunes... and he's a damn good lyricist !
