Sympathy For The Devil - The Rolling Stones Please allow me to introduce myself I’m a man of wealth and taste I’ve been around for a long, long year Stole many a man’s soul and faith And I was ’round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a general’s rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedys? When after all It was you and me Let me please introduce myself I’m a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what’s confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me lucifer ’cause I’m in need of some restraint So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah!

Time for a tongue in cheek choice, which no-one will have heard. Great little song, that's on a free CD I got with Word magazine. For What Is Chatteris.... by Half Man Half Biscuit (one of John Peel's fave bands) One way system, smooth and commendable, go by bus, they're highly dependable, the swings in the park, for the kids, have won awards, clean streets acknowledged in The Lords, but whats a park if you can't see a linnet? a timetable if your journey's infinite? My bag's packed and I'm leaving in a minute, for what is Chatteris without you in it? Car crime's low, gun crime's lower, the town hall band CD, it's a grower, you never hear of folk getting knocked on the bonce, although there was a drive by shouting once, but there's a brass band everywhere, and I dont drive so I care, and as a nightingale sang in berkley square, what is chatteris if you're not there? like a game-bird reserve short on pheasants, weavers cottages devoid of tenants, a market town that lacks quintessence, that's Chatteris without your presence, three good butcher's, two fine chandlers, an indoor pool, a first class cake shop, OFSTED plaudits, envy of the fens, prick barriers at both ends, But what's Chatteris if you're not there? what's Chatteris if you're not there? what's Chatteris if you're not there? what's Chatteris if you're not there? what's Chatteris if you're not there? what's Chatteris if you're not there? I may as well be in Ely or St Ives.

Ah! I feel a song from my youth would be appropriate. Song from under the floorboards - Magazine I am angry I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin my irritability keeps me alive and kicking I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it This is a song from under the floorboards this is a song from where the wall is cracked my force of habit, I am an insect I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact I know the highest and the best I accord them all due respect but the brightest jewel inside of me glows with pleasure at my own stupidity This is a song from under the floorboards this is a song from where the wall is cracked my force of habit, I am an insect I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact I used to make phantoms I could later chase images of all that could be desired then I got tired of counting all of these blessings and then I just got tired This is a song from under the floorboards this is a song from where the wall is cracked my force of habit, I am an insect I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact

Where's me Jumper ? Sultans of ping My, brother, knows, Karl Marx, He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park, He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?' 'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.' Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party. I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty, He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai' I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I' Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily, Fill your nostrils up with gravy. Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee. Cover your chin in yorkshire toffee. Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumber, Wait a minute, where's me jumper, ( x4 ) Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumber, Wait a minute, where's me jumper ? ( x5 ) Oh no. Dancing at the disco, go, go, go. Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no, oh no. Dancing at the disco, go, go, go. Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no. It's alright to say things can only get better, You haven't lost your brand new sweater. I know I had it on when I had my tea, And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory. Oh no. Dancing in the disco, go, go, go. Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no. Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper, Wait a minute, where's me jumper ? ( x5 ) It's alright to say things can only get better, You haven't lost your brand new sweater. Pure new wool, and perfect stitches, Not the type of jumper that makes you itches Oh no. Dancing in the disco, go, go, go. Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no. And my mother, will be so, so angry. And my brother, will be so, so angry. And my girlfriend, will be so, so angry. And my dog, will be so, so angry. Cos I was dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper. Wait a minute, where's me jumper ( x5 ) Oh no !

GOOD PEOPLE - Jack Johnson 'You win it’s your show now So what’s it going to be? Because people will tune in How many train wrecks do we need to see? Before we lose touch And we thought this was low Well it’s bad, getting worse…. Where’d all the good people go? I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows Where’d all the good people go? We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow They got this and that with a rattle a tat Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do Bad news misused, got too much to lose Give me some truth now, who’s side are we on Whatever you say Turn on the boob tube, I’m in the mood to obey So lead me astray And by the way now… Where’d all the good people go? I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows Where’d all the good people go? We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow Sitting around feeling far away So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it? You interrupt me from a friendly conversation To tell me how great it’s all going to be You might notice some hesitation Because its important to you, it’s not important to me But way down by the edge of your reason It’s beginning to show and I really want to know is… Where’d all the good people go? I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows Where’d all the good people go? We got heaps and heaps of what we sow They got this and that with a rattle a tat Testing one, two man whatcha gonna do Bad news misused give me some truth You got too much to lose Whose side are we on today, anyway Okay, whatever you say Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey Station to station desensitizing the nation Going, going, gone...'

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine... (It's time I had some time alone)

Jen/Nadine I've heard of HMHB for years, I knew they were a bit of a cult favourite for being well, quintessentially English, but hadn't got round to finding out more about them. It's only of late that I've starting hearing more of their music. Another cleverly written song by another much underrated band, why I don't know. The Mayor of Simpleton by XTC Never been near a university, Never took a paper or a learned degree, And some of your friends think that's stupid of me, But it's nothing that I care about. Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun, And of mathematics well I want none, And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you. When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton. I can't have been there when brains were handed round (please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton), Or get past the cover of your books profound, (please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton), And some of your friends thinks it's really unsound, That you're ever seen talking to me. Well I don't know how to write a big hit song, And all crossword puzzles well I just shun, And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you. I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much, Just feel I should say, what you get is all real, I can't put on an act, It takes brains to do that anyway. (And anyway...) And I can't unravel riddles, problems and puns, How the home computer has me on the run, And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you (I love you). If depth of feeling is a currency, (please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton), Then I'm the man who grew the money tree, (no Chain of Office and no hope of getting one). Some of your friends are too brainy to see, That they're paupers and that's how they'll stay. Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton, Of all the Nobel prizes that I've never won, And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you. When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton. You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton. You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor. (Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton.)

Wasting time - ron (yummy) sexsmith A day is long, many hours to fill But it's alright if we let a few minutes spill Where's the crime in wasting time with you? Don't have to run when the pistol's fired It's alright if we let the meter expire Where's the crime in wasting time with you? People love to talk about Big things they're gonna do Or they've been through it all We can just remove ourselves We don't have to prove ourselves Worthy of their approval 'You're only young once' Well that's one point of view And it's alright if we've nothing better to do Where's the crime in wasting time Where's the crime in wasting time Where's the crime in wasting time with you?

Nick Cave is a great songwriter. :-)

Secret heart What are you made of? What are you so afraid of? Could it be three simple words Or the fear of being overheard? What's wrong? Let her in on your secret, heart Secret heart Why so mysterious? Why so sacred, why so serious? Maybe you're just acting tough Maybe you're just not man enough What's wrong? Let her in on your secret, heart This very secret you're trying to conceal Is the very same one you're dying to reveal Go tell her how you feel Secret heart Come out and share it This loneliness, few can bear it Could it have something to do with Admitting that you just can't go through it alone? Let her in on your secret What's wrong? Let her in on your secret, heart am i allowed 2 songs?? waves to andy xx
