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

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle.
