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


BONNGGGG

Preside!

Hear, hear, hear!

Might I remind you...

Say it...

Order!

Might I remind you...

(Heigh ho!)

No!

OOORDERRRR!!!


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!


riiiiinnng!!! (yaaaawn)

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

Awake! Set yourself free!

Oh, smell the comforting bacon

Taste the bromide tea

sluuuuurrrrp aahhh!

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!

Don't worry

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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
