    My favourite rhyming couplet
    She's got a new spell
    Billy Bragg
    "One minute she says she's gone to get the cat in
    The next thing I know she's mumbling in Latin"

    My favourite lines dripping with cool
    Stone Roses
    What the world is waiting for
    "Anytime you want it then it's there
    All you gotta do is stop it
    On the corner and ask
    Say hey you don't live today
    Stop the world
    Stop the world
    I'm getting off"

    My favourite rhyming couplet dripping with cool
    Sweet Jane
    Lou Reed
    "Standin' on the corner suitcase in my hand
    Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest and me I'm in a rock 'n' roll band"

    And my favourite lyrics ever, tattooed to my back
    Subterranean Moseley Blues
    Pete Green
    "I said, you blame it on the immigrants
    you blame it on the poor,
    blame anyone who's not the same as you
    You forgot about the bankers
    yeah, the greedy fk*cing w4nkers
    cos it's them who made this mess we're living through

    So be careful what you wish for
    and remember what they did,
    remember how they tore this land in two
    They might tell you different stories
    but they're still the same old Tories
    and they'll always put the bankers before you

    So give me fourth division football,
    indiepop and proper pubs
    Radio 4 on in the kitchen when it's cold outside
    You can keep what's superficial,
    you can give me David Mitchell
    give me anything that's heartfelt, real and kind"

    Watch me wallabies feed, mate
    Watch me wallabies feed
    They're a dangerous breed, mate
    So watch me wallabies feed
    Altogether now!

    I did this about 97. Was home with Mam & dad. Summer, no football. Bobbed by Birmingham for a day & tracked 5/6 songs for Kusworth. At Terry Miles home studio (Felt,Denim etc.)
    Kus told me to play like Mick Taylor on this one, so I did. I had the cd for 2 years & finally played it. Then the line about Savage hit me. Dave’s dog. Ran to heaven.

    But you've been cold to me so long
    I'm crying icicles instead of tears

    I know he’s said some dodgy **** over that last few years but he’s still wrote some of my favourite lyrics so it’d have to be something written by him or Ian Brown, who has recently turned into an anti vaxxing no mask wearing COVID denier!

    Aw
    Aw, sweet, sweet Jane.
    1993, Town & Country Club, Kentish Town. Not the first, nor the last time, I wept in front of a band.
    Mo stepped from behind her drums & sang I’m sticking With You. Everyone in the hall sang it with her, & clapped to the beat. There was a quiet hiss & boo when Lou tried to get control of the song.
    I have the Paris concert dvd. But wished they filmed London. the adoration was extraordinary. never seen anything like that since. Maybe when the Replacements came to town in 2015. I was whooping like a teenager girl.. :rolleyes:

    Those who wish to be,
    must put aside the alienation
    get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying dream.

    More Billy Bragg.....

    "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"

    I came here to post...

    They smelt of pubs, and wormwood scrubs
    And too many right wing meetings
    My life swam around me
    It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
    The smell of brown leather
    It blended in with the weather

    Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away. That's entertainment.

    We live in Orwellian times
    It feels impossible to pick a side
    Insanities that dance and hide
    The truth becomes a broken lie
    Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
    The future fights the past, the books begin to burn

    Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
    Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
