AllMusic[1]

Deep & Meaningless is the second album by English folk singer-songwriter duo John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett.[2] It was released in 1978.[3] The album included the song "Beware Of The Flowers ('Cos I'm Sure They're Going To Get You Yeah)", which was voted Britain's seventh most popular song lyric in a 1999 BBC online poll.[4] The song's strong showing—ahead of The Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" and Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust"—was the result of what Otway's website described as a "well orchestrated campaign" by fans.[5]

AllMusic rates the album as a "triumph" and gives it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.[1]
