Great lyrics - "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...."


Recommended Posts

Thanks and praises

Thanks to Jesus

I bet on the Bottle of Smoke

I went to Hell

And to the races

To bet on the Bottle of Smoke


The day being clear

The sky being bright

He came up on the left

Like a streak of light

Like a drunken fuck

On a Saturday night

Up came the Bottle of Smoke


Twenty fucking five to one

My gambling days are done

I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke

And my horse won


Stewards inquiries

Swift and fiery

I had the Bottle of Smoke

Inquisitions and suppositions

I had the Bottle of Smoke

Fuck the stewards

A trip to Lourdes

Might give the old fuckers

The power of sight

Screaming springers and stoppers

And call out coppers

But the money still gleams in my hand like a light


Bookies cursing

Cars reversing

I had the Bottle of Smoke

Glasses steaming

Vessels bursting

I had the Bottle of Smoke

Slip a fifty to the wife

And for each brat a crisp new five

To give me a break on a Saturday night

When I had the Bottle of Smoke


Priests and maidens

Drunk as pagans

They had the Bottle of Smoke

Sins forgiven and celebrations

They had the Bottle of Smoke


Fuck the Yanks

And drink their wives

The moon is clear

The sky is bright

I'm happy as the horses shite

Up came the Bottle of Smoke

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - No Matter Who You Vote For, The Government Always Gets In

Hear, hear, hear!

Might I remind you...

Say it...

Noises on the radio

Megaphones on cars

Sermons from the Street of Shame

Know-it-alls in bars

Posters in suburbia

Experts on t.v.

Don't let them disturb-i-ya

They're just the powers that be


Heigh ho!

Don't worry

Nobody can win

(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)

No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in!


Heigh ho!

Oh, great, great slumbering nation cock-a-doodle-doo!

Awake! Set yourself free!

Oh, smell the comforting bacon

Taste the bromide tea

An' give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup

Promises are cheap

Let me bear your crosses

Make me Boss of Bosses

Then you go back to sleep! ha ha ha...



Heigh ho!

Pop your cross in the bin

(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)

No matter who matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in!


Heigh ho!

Heigh ho!

Heigh ho!

Heigh ho!


Men have dreams of a finer place

Incorruptible Shangri-la

Women too have their Shangri-Las

Shangri-La la la!


See them in the public eye

Oozing oily charm

Hear them all personify

Down on Animal Farm oink oink moooo!!

Dog eat dog, not cock and bull

Isms are the game

Ism this and ism that

Ism it a shame?


Heigh ho!

Don't worry

Nobody can win

(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)

No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in.

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.
