I don't normally like anything that isn't noisy repetitious beat music, but this I must share with you.



Mott the Hoople, pre-glam phase, Ian Hunter's best ever song brings a tear to my eye, as I sit 'coming down' from a big night at the bowling club....see, folks, that's what's coming to you................

3 minutes of sadness, research the song if you want more tears.

I'm an 80s kid with a penchant for a melody, I can't help it.

"This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our brothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend"

How insightful

Or incisive

Or something

"If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely you are a lucky man
If you've found the reason to live on and not to die you are a lucky man
Preachers and poets and scholars don't know it
Temples and statues and steeples won't show it
If you've got the secret just try not to blwo it - stay a lucky man

If you've found the meaning of the truth in this old world you are a lucky man
If knowledge hangs around your neck like pearls instead of chains you are a lucky man

Takers and fakers and talkers wont tell ya
Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell ya
When no-one can tempt ya with heaven or hell
you'll be a lucky man."

It's the "whom" that tellsya man






Definitely posted B4 I fear - WGAF

(Plus ça change... (plus c'est la même chose) )



No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.

I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Y'awl better pray this is page 4 comin up

Plath's next

Nighty Night ;)

When I started out playin pianner I quite fancied bein Dudley Moore

Funny, pissed all the time, not too famous... great player.

Then I saw this clip of Alan Price from Don't Look Back...

In the pre-portable music device days, a two-week summer holiday (in Montrose or Ayr or St Andrews or simmiler) was like cold turkey for a pianner/record-collection addict.

Dad and Mam broke the bank in 1978 and we went to Lloret De Mar where me and Dad suffered the Argentina humiliation (in the face of fairly stiff provocation from a coupla Mancunian fukkwits who were sharing our hotel ) with great dignity - as we Tims are noted for.

By day six I was twitchin however

The jukebox in the hotel pool room had only three good tracks on it - and two of them were 19th Nervous Breakdown.

Baccara were terrifying huge swathes of the gently undulating Catalonian countryside with "Yes Sir I Can Boogie"

It was tough I can tellya

The only thing that kept me goin was the thought of gettin back to the pianner/Dansette combo in my Fawkirk bedroom.

First track played on return?

(I dunno why but I remember it really clearly)

Good even if you only ever go on holiday inside your head.

In fact

Especially if you only ever.... etc etc

Mode Fact

This is the Vince Clarke (and best) remix of this choon

Mo fact

Toots sez Shaun Ryder looks a bit like me when pissed/stoned/altered during the first few seconds of this clip

I was gonna 'pologise in case it was a repost - then I thought... naaah - fukk it
