song lyrics

[DavyR]

I had no idea, and looked for it on google and a lyrics search site - couldn't find it anywhere.

 

That's cos you ain't as good at searching Google as wot I am!

Guessed it would be RT, but didn't know the song!

 

Yup, I'll be there by about 9:00 (or maybe before) - look out for the dirty silver Punto.

 

How about this one:

 

"This land is barren and broken

It's scarred like the face of the moon

Our tongue is no longer spoken

The towns all around facing ruin"

See you there! I will be there at around 8.00am, as I want to beat the Saturday M62 / M6 farce!

 

A sfor the song lyric.... No idea - but it does have a touch of the Ashley Hutchings about it. I used to sing a song called 'Coal not Dole' written by Kay Sutcliffe about the closure of Aylesham and Betteshanger colieries - and vastly improved upon by The Oyster Band.

It's Steve Knightley (Show of Hands) "Cousin Jack" (about the Cornish tin miners).

[BoozleBear]

Nobody has got this one yet...

 

I've seen the demons

But they didn't make a sound

They tried to reach me

But I laid upon the ground

I've seen the people

But they didn't make a sound

They tried to reach me

But I did a run around

[DavyR]

"Squares" from the Beta Band's "Hot Shots II"

[Humber]

If i may be so bold as to join in, an easy lyric here..

 

He drinks a whisky drink

He drinks a vodka drink

He drinks a lager drink

He drinks a cider drink

 

He sings the songs that remind him

Of the good times

He sings the songs that remind him

Of the better times

[BoozleBear]

Nice on DavyR - top tune!

That'll be Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping".

 

Interesting (I think!) and little known fact. When they didn't have a name for the band, they heard about a study that had been done at Oxford or Cambridge, based on the old adage that if you sat a load of monkeys down at typewriters exentually they would come up with the complete works of shakespeare. So some bunch of wallies spent loads of money on an experiment to see what the monkeys came up with.

 

Strangely enough the transcripts came up with nothing but unmitigated jibberish, and the nearest thing that was found in the entire text to resemble a normally structured and scanning word was 'Chumbawamba'

 

Boring fact of the day over with!

 

Next lyric:- (and it's a classic!)

 

Well my daddy left home when I was three

And he didn't leave much to ma and me

Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze

[*Ant*]

Well my daddy left home when I was three

And he didn't leave much to ma and me

Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze

 

I'll take a wild stab in the dark........
