Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance was the second album done by Ronnie Lane, one of the founders of Small Faces and Faces, after he left Faces to live on a farm in Shropshire. In homage to his perceived chances of commercial success, he named his band Slim Chance. Most songs on this album were written by Lane, the rest of Slim Chance, and Kate Lambert, his wife. Haunting, profound, and witty, the album did not exceed his commercial expectations.

didn’t cling to the ends of his clothes,
or did she plant herself in the doorway,
hurl herself at his feet,
or utter the word “Stay!”

at the time when it was dark with swarming clouds,
the slim girl blocked her lover’s way
with only a rising river
made with her flood of tears.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
