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

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.

    • Dulwich leisure centre? Zumba or Pilates there? I go to Zumba at forest Hill Pools... Pay as you go membership and its very inclusive all ages shapes and sizes. Ditto I find the leisure centre the same..I'm mid 60's by the way. I prefer gyms to schools..the rooms they do the classes in are custom built.  
    • Well, this is sad news.  Hopefully it won't go down the same path as The Palmerston when it changed hands.  That is from great to dismal, literally overnight.
    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
