Putting on some clothes I made my way to school

And I found my teacher

crouching in his overalls

I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine

And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights


(I always fund the slot machine reference very "modern" as they were new to me in the 80s!)

[Keef your earlier post from God Shuffled His Feet has just prompted me to buy the album off t?internet. Great album. I?ve not heard it in ages!]


*You should have said, I'd have copied it for you. You don't meet many others who like them, but I think they're great!)


How does a duck know what direction south is, or how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?

This is from Jah Lush's namesake - Jah Cure - Prison Walls



Behind these prison walls

Doing my paces

Doing my time

I am, Spending my restless nights

Visioning faces

Oh they all crying

Cryyyyyyyyyying

Prison ah nuh bed a roses

The livity it makes me ball

I wish that jah could come and take us back in time

Cause I swear

That I can be a better man

Yes I swear, if only you could understand

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

The faith in me shall set me free reflection



Behind these metal bars

To jah jah im chanting

Pray for your love divine

Im oh so sorry I am

Deeply I am hurting

The price ordained to be mine

Impossible to see the changes, that I've made in my life

All they see is just the boy, they left be behind

And I swear, That I can be a better man

Yes I swear, if only you could understand

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

The faith in me shall set me free reflection



Dont judge me wrong

Cause now i am stronger than I was before

I was young and unwise

Didn't you hear my cry

Impossible to see the change

That I've made in my life

All they see is just the boy i left behind

Cause i swear

I can be a better man

Cause I swear if only you could understand

I swear

I can be a better man

And I swear (if only you could understand), I swear

The faith in me shall set me free relection (reflection)

(repeat line until music fades)

Ooohhh-wheee, look at me

looking for some sympathy

It's the same old story -

- of a man and his search for glory

and he found it, there underneath the bottle

Things are never good, things go from bad to weird

hey gimme another scotch with my beer

I'm sad to say -

- I feel the same today as I always do

gimme a drink to relax me

Ooohhh-wheee, liquor set free

I can't do no work, the shake's inside me

Ahhh, shucks

I got the lousiest luck, I'm sick of this

underneath the bottle

Seven days make a week, on two of them I sleep

I can't remember what the heck I was doing

I got bruise on my leg -

- from I can't remember when

I fell down some stairs, I was lyin' underneath the bottle

Ooohhh0wheee, son of a B.

you get so down, you can't get any lower

So long world, you play too rough

and it's getting me all mixed up

I lost my pride and it's hiddin' there underneath the bottle

"Some people are willing to wipe their feet on anything with WELCOME written on it."


"Harm no-one - unless they ask you."


"Trying to tell the difference 'tween lemon and lime, pain and pleasure, and the churchbells softly chi - i - i - ime!"


All the above by Andy Partridge of XTC.

Six o'clock already

I was just in the middle of a dream

I was kissin' Valentino

By a crystal blue Italian stream


But I can't be late

'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid

These are the days

When you wish your bed was already made


It's just another manic Monday

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
