Thunder Road - probably my most played song of all time.


Going through my head at the moment Rendezvous and Fire - both Springsteen songs performed at the Paris show last week

since the Guardian had the songwriter booklets last week and I re-read the lyric to Springsteen's It's Hard To Be a Saint In The City, the song hasn't been out of my head


"I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra

I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova.."



awesome song



As for Mamma Mia film - I used to consume movie magazines by the whatever-a-large-amount-of-magazines-can-be-called but didn't even know about this, which shows how out of the loop I'm getting. As for Abba, I'm with Terence Stamp in The Adventures of Priscilla:


"no.. more... F***ing ABBA!!!!"

life

oh life

oh li-i-ife

oh life

do di do do doo


I'm afraid of the dark

'specialy in apark

something else that rhymes with dark

Lewis Carrol thought up the snark

Quite possibly while walking in a park

Perhaps in Oxford or possibly his home town of Sunderland where he was from and where he gained inspiration for many of the scenes and characters for his nonsense poems and of course that wonderful testament to the anarchy of the human imagination which is Alice in Wonderland (more correctly Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland)



Anyway the only way I think I?m going to get rid of this is by singing the first few lines of It?s Not Unusual but I don?t know if I have the strength to go through the whole of today with that stuck in my head instead.

Down at the bottom of the garden,

Among the birds and the bees,

A little lot of little people,

They call the Poddington Peas.


There's Creepy, Black Eye Pea and Dumpy.

Keep it a secret now please.

There's Zippy, Happy and there's Sweepy.

And all the Poddington Peas!


The Poddington Peas!


for the love of god!!!!!

Started off quite well this morning with I Chase the Devil by Max Romeo. Went downhill later with various bits of music from Mario Kart Wii, and now is really scraping the bottom of the barrel with some Kaiser Chiefs dross (I can do anythi-iiiiiing, dooby do do).

Is that the one where the lyrics go...



I don't like cricket, uh, oh no, I love it uh


:-$ uh thanks PGC gona be stuck in MY head all afternoon now! ha!


Its between that and everybody hurts at the moment, although there is a song, I don't know who it is by but the lyrics go something like this,


Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather

At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street

Well it's the same room but everything's different

You can fight the sleep but not the dream


chorus = everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you,

    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612
