my old man's a dustbin!

They're coming to take us away, ha ha, hee hee, to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time.... That's not the weirdest - it was played backwards on the other side - that was the weirdest but I couldn't spell it!

Anything by the Fall

"Stand by your man", Tammy Wynette. Silly girl. Also from Pavement ("Stereo"): "What about the voice of Geddy Lee [from Rush] How did it get so high? I wonder, does he speak like an ordinary guy?" "I've met him; and he does." "Then you're my fact-checking cuz." Bit of an indie kid in my day.

Most of Zappa! My personal favourites: " He thought he was man, but he was a muffin, He thought he knew a lot, but he didn't know nothin'." "What is the ugliest part of your body? What is the ugliest part of your body? Some say your nose, Some say your toes, But I think it's your mind..." "Ronnie's in the Army now And Kenny's popping pills, Oh how they yearn To See a bomber burn, Wait till the fire turns green..." "One of his legs is shorter than the other And both his feet's too long... He's a Dancin' Fool..." They go on and on and on in their unparalleled brilliance!

With you there, TC. Remember 'Don't you eat that yellow snow'? Bizarre, mentioned huskies, too. My old man's a dustman, He wears a dustman's hat, He wear gorblimey trousers And he lives in a council flat. or Father's painting the parlour, You couldn't see pa for paint! Dabbing it here, dabbing it there, Paint and paper evereewhere. Some got stuck to the ceiling and some got stuck to the floor, Never seen such a family so stuck up before... (or summat like that). also... The baby just went down th plug'ole The baby just went down the sink. The poor little fing was so skinny and fin... (can't remember rest) and... Come inside yer silly fella come inside, I thought you had a bit more sense.. (that one was about a bloke locked up in a nuthouse and extolling its virtues (ie: no rent and no sprogs to feed), as I recall) Ooooh, and Boiled Beef and Carrots, Boiled beef and carrots...etc etc. Tee hee.... If you want to know the time, ask a pl'iceman Every member of the force, has a watch and chain of course, So if you want to know the time, ask a pl'iceman. Last one, I promise. Oh! Mr porter, what shall I do? I wanted to go tot Birmingham and I ended up at Crewe... I'm QUITE exhausted now...

Here's the full thing, Andrea... A mother was washing her baby one night; The youngest of ten and a delicate mite. The mother was poor and the baby was thin; 'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin. The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack. She was only a moment but when she turned back Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried, "Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied: Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole. Oh, your baby has gone down the plug. The poor little thing was so skinny and thin, He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug. Your baby is perfectly happy; He won't need a bath anymore. He's a-muckin' about with the angels above, Not lost but gone before. Found the lyrics on the internet! It's called a Mother's Lament and was quite beautifully sung by Ginger Baker on Disraeli Gears by Cream. I did a full rendition of it in the only double decker ski lift in the world in Ischgl after lunch this March. It was not appreciated. Ho Hum. Those Germans were philistines!

Were?

Oooh, luvverly, TC - thank you! (now what about the rest?) Could Ginger Baker sing? He could certainly drum - Cream were brill :-)

Then later on/On the drive home/I called her mom/From a pay phone/I said I was the cops/And your husband's in jail/This state looks down on sodomy

Hey! My muvver used to sing that ditty about the baby and the plughole

it ain't gonna rain no more, no more it ain't gonna rain no more it poured and it poured and it poured and it poured but it ain't gonna rain no more.

did you ever in your life see a diver kiss his wife while the bubbles bounced about above the water?

bush bush in the bush

God save our gracious Queen

My old man's *in* a dustbin. He just called me on the moby, he'll be getting dropped off here in landfill paradise later in the week. It'll be nice to see him again.

Liz, it was push push in the bush... not bush bush.. didnt you know what they were doing in the song? :o)))))

Really? I must say I can't always make out what people are singing about. Recently my friend was playing some old compilation album with a song I had always thought was 'thankyou for the mattress'; in fact he explained it's 'working for the ratrace' !

"Why do birds suddenly appear Every time You are near?" Apparently it was because I kept throwing my lunch away.

Jess (youngest sprog), a huge Bob Marley fan but no great shakes in the English dept (Clog being his first language) is still convinced to this day that 'Try Me' is 'Dried Meat'.

"I will always love you."

jada jada jada jada jing jing jing title of song: Jada

"Let's look for the purple banana before they put us in the truck" Prince: "Let's go crazy" [a favourite of mine]

" Everything I do I do it for you." Everytime that song is played my girlfriend asks me why I do things for myself and not do everything for her. And I hate the song.

This is a pretty bizarre song (by the Blue Oyster Cult): She's as beautiful as a foot She's as beautiful as a foot She heard somebody say, the other day Didn't believe it when he bit into her face Didn't believe it when he bit into her face It tasted just like a fallen arch Don't put your tongue on the bloody tooth mark place Don't put your tongue on the bloody tooth mark place Her face changing now, a guernsey cow

My old man's a dustman isn't it?
