I saw two shooting stars last night, I wished on them, but they were only satellites, It's wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish, I wish, I wish you cared --- Post edited by NorthDownSouth on 3/7 15:52 --- | |

Thought it was 'older' not 'uglier'. Or am I missing something. | |

Those braying voices on the right of the House Are echoed down the Street of Shame Where politics mix with bingo and tits In a strictly money and numbers game Where they offer you a feature On stockings and suspenders Next to a call for stiffer penalties for sex offenders it says here.. | |

There's two versions of it, I think. Album and single version, with different lyrics. | |

Three faves. In reverse order: No.3 — I confronted her about it I said, "I'm the most illegible bachelor in town" And she said "Yeah that's why I could never understand any of those silly letters you sent me" And then one day it happened She cut her hair and I stopped loving her [Walk Away Rene Version] No. 2 — There is no real substitute For a ball struck squarely and firmly And you're the kind of girl who wants to open up the bottle of pop Too early in the journey Our love went flat just like that [A Lover Sings] And the winner... No.1 — But I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh And she never came to the phone She was always in the bath In the end, it took me a dictionary To find out the meaning of unrequited While she was giving herself for free At a party to which I was never invited [The Saturday Boy] | |

"But I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh," And didnt even post it first. How apt. --- Post edited by piggy_nichol on 3/7 16:14 --- | |

While we're indulging in Billy Bragg I saw him at the Sage recently on his anti racism tour. It was just after the semi-final and the Boro v Steaua game and obviously he was buzzing about getting to Wembley, but he was full of praise for the Boro in spite of the mutterings by all the geordies. He also did a great vaudeville version of 'I'm forever blowing bubbles'. Top bloke. | |

The temptation to take the precious things we have apart to see how they work Must be resisted for they never fit together again If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me If these are tears let them fall Must I paint you a picture about the way that I feel You know my love for you is strong girl You know my love for you is real Must I paint you a picture | |

ANOTHER cracker there, Fatsuma. For someone who was known as a political singer, (and I agree with him on most things), he is a brilliant lyricist when it comes to a bloke's perspective on matters of the heart. A much better love-song writer than a protest singer. | |

It took a short walk and a talk To change the rules of engagement While you searched frantically for reverse and them claiming That virtue never tested is no virtue at all Must I Paint you a Picture? | |

Mother shakes her head and reads aloud from the newspaper As Father puts another lock on the door And reflects upon the violent times that we are living in While chatting with the wife beater next door If paradise to you is cheap beer and overtime Home truths are easily missed Something that every football fan knows It only takes five fingers to form a fist | |

"With my own hands When I make love to your memory It's not the same I miss the thunder I miss the rain And the fact that you don't understand Casts a shadow over this land But the sun still shines from behind it" "I steal a kiss from you in the supermarket I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket And through it all, the stick I take Is worth it for the love we make" "The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry And when nobody came to collect our fares Well I knew then this was something special I couldn't stop thinking about her And every time I switched on the radio There was somebody else singing a song about the two of us " and from the Woodie Guthrie stuff "Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman, let's go make a picture On the island of Stromboli, Ingrid Bergman Ingrid Bergman, you're so perty, you'd make any mountain quiver You'd make fire fly from the crater, Ingrid Bergman This old mountain it's been waiting All its life for you to work it For your hand to touch its hardrock, Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman If you'll walk across my camera, I will flash the world your story, I will pay you more than money, Ingrid Bergman Not by pennies dimes nor quarters, but with happy sons and daughters, And they'll sing around Stromboli, Ingrid Bergman" Just for the blatant sexual inuendo and the fact that Mr Guthrie wrote a song about want to shag Ingrid Bergman.. | |

It says here that the unions will never learn It says here that the economy is on the upturn And it says here we should be proud That we are free And our free press reflects our democracy Those braying voices on the right of the house Are echoed down the street of shame Where politics mix with bingo and tits In a strictly money and numbers game Where they offer you a feature On stockings and suspenders Next to a call for stiffer penalties for sex offenders It says here that this year's prince is born It says here do you ever wish That you were better informed And it says here that we can only stop the rot With a large dose of law and order And a touch of the short sharp shock If this does not reflect you view you should understand That those who own the papers also own this land And they'd rather you believe In coronation street capers In the war of circulation, it sells newspapers Could it be an infringement Of the freedom of the press To print pictures of women in states of undress When you wake up to the fact That you paper is tory Just remember, there are two sides to every story | |
