Those of you of a certain age may remember a TV show in the eighties called 'Capital City' about the adventures of a bunch of yuppies in London. It was pretty cr#p. but I enjoyed it, mainly because of the participation of one of my favourite actors, Douglas Hodge.

Anyhoo...after one of the episodes, a friend rang me to say that in the background of a scene, he'd seen a painting that had the lyrics of 'Pyramid' written on it in a spiral. I didn't believe him at the time, but I was so busy appreciating the mighty Mr. Hodge that I could've missed it. A few years later, I heard someone else say the same thing, but......is it true, or apocryphal?

Long shot - but...

Martin Davies from Cleethorpes used to go to niters in the mid 70s - Early 80s and had an original piece of artwork by his brother (who was quite a respected graphic artist), in his London flat, that featured lyrics from a record.

It's possible that it was one of his, as Martin used to supply props/costumes to tv programmes for a living...
