Did you ever wonder what's inside that keeps us together? Did you ever want to take that knife and discover? Like cutting into a sack of grain Going to watch our love run away And look at each other |

Cynicism is brilliant Yeah, cynicism is great You can use it to work out who is a c&nt it's great for making friends in prison visits for a lack of interest in the people underneath Criticism is inevitable if you cannot love Your brother's, father's, daughter's, mother's son It might be just a concept, but concepts can be used To distract you from the fact that you were born The world chokes on mohairs and children in wheelchairs I know guys who would kill you if they could believe you Believe you! Why the f*ck should I believe you You've got a German wife and I'm sure she's nice but she's not very bright And yet she works in the night making voodoo dolls Of grandkids while dressed in a Nazi uniform Manufactured in Singapore by the descendants of Karen Rowe and Murphy's Law No, not the film or a television programme you f*cking idiot It's an idiom. What's an idiom? Well, it's a phrase which is commonly acknowledged to have a meaning which is not apparent from the individual words Like for example "Britain is drowning in immigration" Commonly acknowledged to mean "I am scared of everything that isn't me" |

There's a man I meet walks up our street He's a worker for the council Has been twenty years And he takes no lip of nobody And litter off the gutter Puts it in a bag And never sthinks to mutter And he packs his lunch in a sunblest bag The children call him bogie He never lets on But I know 'cause he once told me He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty He's gonna buy a dinghy Gonna call her dignity And I'll sail her up the west coast Through villages and towns I'll be on my holidays They'll be doing their rounds They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money" They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity And I'm telling this story In a faraway scene Sipping down raki And reading maynard keynes And I'm… |

thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity And I'll sail her up the west coast Through villages and towns I'll be on my holidays They'll be doing their rounds They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money" They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity And I'm thinking about home And I'm thinking about faith And I'm thinking about work And I'm thinking how good it would be To be here some day On a ship called dignity A ship called dignity That ship |

He drove up to the motel
In his town and country car He watched the working women With the field hands from the farm He walked into the lobby With his pleased to see you smile Scribbled on to the register His fictitious name and smiled The footsteps of a young girl Came tapping along the hall The outline of his features Were shadowed on the wall She stood a little nervous Half lit by the neon light That flashed in many colours Through the darkness of the night The skin on his face Like a well worn saddle Smiled as he said goodnight At the melody motel It was business as usual As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes His shirt lay by his bedside His jeans down by his feet She swallowed hard and mumbled With the key between her teeth On went the television The picture flickering slow Top Cat in the alley way As they sat there all alone He drove back up his driveway In his town and country car His wife was cooking chicken With a baby in her arms The smell of home cooked dinner Filled the air at home that night Screaming Officer Dibble In the TV's flickering light Slumped in his favourite armchair His face as grey as stone His feet up on the table Next to the chicken bones He seemed to show no feelings Picking corn out from his teeth Police down at the motel As the blood dried on the sheets |

McCoy, if youre talking about tosh the Beatles must go some way to taking the biscuit. What's 'Yellow Submarine' and 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' all about for instance?
You cite Bowie and I agree. Where was he going with 'Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow?' Disagree with Queen. Some inspirational stuff All tripping on magic mushrooms and that in the 60's? |

Baby, slow down The end is not as fun as the start Please stay a child somewhere in your heart I'll give you everything you want Except the thing that you want You are the first one of your kind And you feel like no-one before You steal right under my door I kneel 'cause I want you some more I want the lot of what you got And I want nothing that you're not Everywhere you go you shout it You don't have to be shy about it Some things you shouldn't get too good at Like smiling, crying and celebrity Some people got way too much confidence, baby, baby |

Well the wicked king of clubs awoke
And it was to his queen turned His lips were laughing as they spoke His eyes like bullets burned The sun's upon a gambling day His queen smiled low and blissfully Let's make some wretched fool to play Plain it was she did agree He send his deuce down into diamond His four to hart, and his trey to spade Three kings with their legions come Preparations soon where made They voted club the days commander Gave him an army face and number All but the outlaw jack of diamonds And the aces in the sky Well, he gave his sevens first instructions Spirit me a game of stud Stakes unscarred by limitation Between a man named Gold and man named Mud Club filled Gold with greedy vapors Till his long, green eyes did glow And Mud was left with the sighs and trembles Watching his hard earned money go Flushes fell on Gold like water Tens they paired and paired again But the aces only flew through heaven And the diamond jack called no man friend Now, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordeal Began to think of her long lost son Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy And prayed to the angels every one Now, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed And the Diamond Angel filled Muds hole The wicked King of Clubs himself Fell in face down in front of Gold Now, three kings come to Clubs command But the angels from the sky did ride Three kings up on the streets of Gold Three fireballs on the muddy side The club queen heard her husband's call But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy When the outlaw in the heavenly hall Turned out to be a wandering boy Now, Mud he checked and Gold bet all And Mud he raised and Gold did call And the smile just melted on his face When Mud turned over that diamond ace Now, here's what this story's told If you feel like Mud you'll end up Gold If you feel like lost, you'll end up found So amigo, lay them raises down |

In the town where I was born.....Yellow submarine, think you missed the irony woodmanchester. I can appreciate what the beatles did, but never been a fan. Sorry Queen have done a lot of tosh, Radio Ga Ga, Bring Back That Leroy Brown, Under Pressure (Bowie)and and their best song, a before its time speed metal classic, Sheer heart Attack (not the album, the song) never gets played! If you played that or It's Late from News Of The World most pseudo Queen fans would say, what the feck is this & have no idea who it is. Even Bohemian Rhapsody has been played to death, & with the operatic overtones is really not my thing - like Mercury's Barcelona. I hate frickin' opera. Having said that, there are some songs that I grew up with, like Seven Seas Of Rhye, Now I'm Here, Don't Stop Me Now, that I love and I would say, even though they're not my favourite band/artist, it's hard to deny that Freddie Mercury is one of the, if not the, best, most charismatic front men ever.
