A somewhat tough riddle.

[T-Bone]

Someone gave me this riddle last week and I only just worked it out today. See if any of you can do better!!!

Here is a sequence of rows of numbers, what comes next?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

Errrr I maybe completely off here but it looks like each row is dependat on the one before it. Its a clever thing as its not actually a mathematical progression, well it is just not in the typical sense of the word.
I think the next one would be
one 1 one 3 two 1s three 2s one 1
1113213211
top shows i got it bottom is the number version

I appreciate this seems slow however due to the fact i went to the toilet half way thro and was watching a film at the same time it makes alot more sense. And i like being resident maths dude.

From here-on-in, I refuse to look at these 'riddle' posts. They make my brain ache.

I'm more than happy to relinquish the maths dude title, I'll be the resident medical dude instead

edit: And lo and behold, he was the Resident maths dude
