    I always thought Tiger

    was brewed in Singapore?

    Chinese beer has always had funny names like Tsing-Tao, Mowsty-Tung, Chang etc

    Please advise?

    I am on a bottle of Grand Resevere Rioja 1998, just testing it out that the rest of the case will be ok for Chrimbo. It seems to be ok, but I'll carry on the test just to be sure.

    Me too but

    Brewed and Bottled by Hainan Asia Pacific Brewery China</p>

    Maybe the original stuff was from singapore..</p>

    Heres a bit of classic s due to word association football!</p>

    Singapore</p>

    We sail tonight for Singapore,
    we're all as mad as hatters here
    I've fallen for a tawny Moor,
    took off to the land of Nod
    Drank with all the Chinamen,
    walked the sewers of Paris
    I danced along a colored wind,
    dangled from a rope of sand
    You must say goodbye to me

    We sail tonight for Singapore,
    don't fall asleep while you're ashore
    Cross your heart and hope to die
    when you hear the children cry
    Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
    while making feet for children shoes
    Through the alley, back from hell,
    when you hear that steeple bell
    You must say goodbye to me

    Wipe him down with gasoline
    'til his arms are hard and mean
    From now on boys this iron boat's your home
    So heave away, boys

    We sail tonight for Singapore,
    take your blankets from the floor
    Wash your mouth out by the door,
    the whole town's made of iron ore
    Every witness turns to steam,
    they all become Italian dreams
    Fill your pockets up with earth,
    get yourself a dollar's worth
    Away boys, away boys, heave away

    The captain is a one-armed dwarf,
    he's throwing dice along the wharf
    In the land of the blind
    the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring

    We sail tonight for Singapore,
    we're all as mad as hatters here
    I've fallen for a tawny Moor,
    took off to the land of Nod
    Drank with all the Chinamen,
    walked the sewers of Paris
    I drank along a colored wind,
    I dangled from a rope of sand
    You must say goodbye to me

    Fecking classic stuff and massively underrated.</p>

    Good lyrics

    sounds like the Men They Couldn't Hang but probably isn't..they liked all that folklore/history stuff...Ironmasters / Australia / Industrial Town etc.


    Not sure about the stuff about a one armed drawf though, Dirk can be a bit touchy about stuff like that.

    <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Shirt of Blue is one one my fave ever songs.</font></p>

    <font face="Arial"></font></p>

    <font face="Arial">Waits is a bit Jazz / Blues but weird with it.</font></p>

    <font face="Arial">Hes very, very good.</font></p>

    Well Frank settled down in the Valley
    and hung his wild years
    on a nail that he drove through
    his wife's forehead
    he sold used office furniture
    out there on San Fernando Road
    and assumed a $30,000 loan
    at 15 1/4 % and put down payment
    on a little two bedroom place
    his wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
    made good bloody marys
    kept her mouth shut most of the time
    had a little Chihuahua named Carlos
    that had some kind of skin disease
    and was totally blind. They had a
    thoroughly modern kitchen
    self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
    Frank drove a little sedan
    they were so happy

    One night Frank was on his way home
    from work, stopped at the liquor store,
    picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths
    drank 'em in the car on his way
    to the Shell station, he got a gallon of
    gas in a can, drove home, doused
    everything in the house, torched it,
    parked across the street, laughing,
    watching it burn, all Halloween
    orange and chimney red then
    Frank put on a top forty station
    got on the Hollywood Freeway
    headed north

    Never could stand that dog

    This is my fave

    <center><h3><font color="#ffcc00"></font></h3><h3><font color="#ffcc00"><a name="Time">Time</a></font></h3></center>


    Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
    And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
    And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
    And the rain sounds like a round of applause
    And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
    His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
    And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
    And it's true there's nothing left for him down here

    And it's time time time, and it's time time time
    And it's time time time that you love
    And it's time time time

    And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
    You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
    And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
    That history puts a saint in every dream

    Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
    But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
    And Mathilda asks the sailors &quot;Are those dreams or are those prayers?&quot;
    So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit

    Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
    And it's time time time that you love
    And it's time time time

    Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
    The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
    And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
    And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
    So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
    As the dish outside the window fills with rain
    Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
    And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again

    Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
    And it's time time time that you love
    And it's time time time
    And it's time time time, and it's time time time
    And it's time time time that you love
    And it's time time time
    </p>
