That leaflet could have been about Kinnock, 35 years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
On their website, they bang on about being against Starmer, however, they don’t mention what they’re for.
Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies
During live shows they change the lyric from, “I had a dream that I was 300 pounds, and though I was very heavy, I flouted ’till I couldn’t see the ground” to, “I had a dream that I was 300 pounds, and during Lockdown, I really was 300 pounds!”
Take me Home – Phil Collins
Another marvellous music video. The woman playing Collins’ wife at the end, sounds like a young Margaret Thatcher.
Another Girl, Another Planet – the Only Ones
A ’70’s song that sounds as if it was written & recorded in the ’90’s.
There are a couple of streets like that on my paper-round, BD. One street has has 24 3-bedroom houses on one side & 14 4-bedroom ones on the other. The other street has 12 2-bedroom houses & 1 5-bedroom one. Imagine!
The people who live in both the big houses & the smaller ones are nice, though.Anyway, in keeping with the rebellious rock theme, here’s Eddie & the Hot Rods with ‘Do Anything you Wanna do’:
XR don’t want to change the system, they just want to solve a problem caused by capitalism…without getting rid of capitalism.
They think they’re like the anti-segregation activists in the southern U.S. in the ‘Sixties – when they’re really much similar to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
If he wants to play Top Trumps with organisations, fine: the SPGB – 300 members; XR – 1 million members; the Jehovah’s Witnesses – 8.5 million members.
I can’t wait until December to post this song.
Christmas Dream – Perry Como
I could have sworn it was written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David, but it was written by Andrew Lloyd-Webber & Tim Rice (except the German lyrics, which were written by some German dude).
Thanks for posting that other Weezer song, Rod. I only knew their song ‘Buddy Holly’, but will definitely check them out, after listening to ‘Island in the Sun’.
New Year’s Day by U2
This has the memorable lyric: ‘And so we’re told this is the golden age
‘And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
‘Though I want to be with you
‘Be with you night and day
‘Nothing changes
‘On New Year’s Day’– Rod Shaw
You’re right. It was the lyric website that got it wrong. I should have noticed it was “Milo Venus”, because of the gummy Venus de Milo from the Simpsons’ episode: “Homer Badman”. Isn’t it pronounced: Meelo?
It’s good to know other people are listening to these songs, and I’m not just posting them for myself.
Brown-Eyed Handsome Man – Buddy Holly (originally by Chuck Berry)
Best lyric: Marlo Venus was a beautiful lass, she had the world in the palm of her hand. She lost both her arms in a wrestling match to meet a brown-eyed handsome man. She went and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man.
