[2] In a later interview, Stan stated that upon putting Ronnie into bed, he would say "Come on, let's go up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire".
It was an expression that Ronnie Lane's father used to use when he was about to go to bed "....well, it's up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire...." I thought it was a lovely line.

"Up the Wooden Hills to Bedfordshire" was first released on 23 June 1967, when it was featured on the second side of Small Faces, the group's second studio album.
