Wikipedia article"'Craise Finton Kirk Royal Academy of Arts'" is a song by the Bee Gees on the album 'Bee Gees' 1st'. Written by Barry and Robin Gibb, it closes the first side of the album. An alternate take was released in 2006 on 'The Studio Albums 1967-1968'. This track was recorded on March 21 after the orchestral dubbing for the other album tracks had been laid down. Featuring only piano and voice, the song stands in stark contrast to the rest of the album.
