Made the mistake in mentioning in an email to Colin Wood that I was off to see Supertramp at the O2 in London tomorrow (which dates me I know and what’s worse is that I first saw them in London whilst a student but have no recollection of it, hence the second attempt). Colin quickly replied adding the following:
By the way don’t you look at my framework
It’s the only one I got.
Not much of a framework
I never seem to get a lot (of consistency)
....
realising that this was from Breakfast in America
I had to add my own contribution
Take a viewpoint ‘cross the business
Like to see the whole thing
See the Systems and dependencies
We’re hoping it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot we can do
Now if anyone has better versions of these verses or has more verses to add (of an enterprise architectural nature) to this or any other Supertramp song (I’m thinking of The Logical Song
) please get in touch!

The Illogical Song (as ~requested). Unpolished but serviceable… the engineering ethic.
When we began, it seemed the goal was achievable
Reasonable, it would be hard but it was feasible.
And all the Shalls in the spec, well they seemed clear and dependable,
Structured hierarchically, sensibly.
But then they set me to work and told me I had to model them
Relationships, Properties, Entities.
And I looked for a scheme that would allow me to capture them
factor them, (oh) inherit them, package them.There are times when scope begins to creep
The learning curve’s too steep
For such a simple plan.
Can’t you please, please tell me what it means
It’s not now what it seemedNow watch what you say or they’ll be calling you incompetent
Ignorant, or a recidivist - get the gist?
Won’t you join in the game, we’d like to call you
Our architect, you just have to show respect, genuflect.After five, when management’s gone home
The learning curve’s too steep
For such a simple plan.
Can’t you please, please tell me what it means
It’s never what it seemed
What it seemed (x3)
