That song, penned by a more deviant soul searching 16 year old Dimitra, was Leini (not lady, as Jules had misheard) or, its full title, 'Ode to a Familiar Stranger'.

Over their first two years at university, whilst playing in various other ensembles around university, they played a number of acoustic sets as 'The Familiar Strangers' at CB1, The Ruskin Gallery, and The Hopbine; as well playing a set on Cam 105 fm, covering Janis Joplin's 'Mercedes Benz' on vocals, viola, and pots and pans...
