Not a bad guess, but unlike Status Quo, a band that went on forever, Thunderclap Newman was a one album wonder. Pete Townsend pal John "Speedy" Keene fronted the band, and wrote that classic paean to vague rebellion, "Something in the Air". "Accidents" was the "other" song on the album, and did garner some minor air-play. It's one of those ambitious numbers; you can probably figure out where the tripped-out interlude fits into these lyrics. I also note that it contains a reference to train spotting, 30 years before the novel/movie made the term familiar in the US (or at least the east village). The concept seems to have confused this amateur transcriber.
