So now try this one from Beukies
A story my late grandfather told me about his youth:

"There I was in a crowd of angry and confused people. They were blaming everybody and anybody for their misery. I don't really remember how I got there. I was just as confused as they were, stumbling along not knowing where I was going. My life a mess.

Then in amongst the crowd I saw a quiet and peaceful looking old man handing out flyers and although everyone else was either ignoring him or throwing the pamphlets away, I had an urge to take one.

This is what I saw:

1. I am X and Y. I am everywhere. Always X, but not always Y = ?

2. Image Image = ?

3. I am fine, sheer and delicate = ?

4. I have been called a Lambert; also a Victoria Phaeton; also a Frisbie; also a Haynes-Apperson = ?

(Each of these gave him a word, which when decoded, said:"............")

After I had stared at it for awhile, the answer came to me, and at that moment I was able to turn my life around and renew my life goals and restore direction in my life."


And so my late grandfather became a great and wise man from whom I have learnt much.

What did the decoded message say?

Once my grandfather told me the answer, I burst out laughing, because it reminded me of a famous song! What is the name of the song?
