Oh & you may hear Sinead O'Connor murdering some of these shortly as I believe her new album is called 'Throw down your Arms' :-( I can't imagine what John Peel would make of it. I won't say my true thoughts about her here. Pat x

Hi Paul and All. I can't find the words to 'Rise' :-( Well I was going to do Johnny Lydon and PIL's 'Religion' but I'll be thrown off the site lol. I prefer Reggae anyway so as Peel liked Reggae (ok not quite as much as the Fall) these are for him. One of my Faves first:- Book of Rules The Heptones Isn't it strange how princesses and kings in clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings while common people like you and me we'll be builders for eternity each is given a bag of tools a shapeless mass and the book of rules each must make his life as flowing in tumbling block on a stepping stone while common people like you and me we'll be builders for eternity each is given a bag of tools a shapeless mass and the book of rules look when the rain has fallen from the sky you know the sun will be only with us for a while while common people like you and me we'll be builders for eternity each is given a bag of tools a shapeless mass and the book of rules ____________________________________________ One Step Forward Max Romeo (1975) Ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na Ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon One day you are dreadlocks (well dread) Next day you are baldhead (clean shave) Onward, forward, don’t step backward Step out of Babylon Onward, forward, don’t step backward Step out of Babylon Are you a commercialized Grabbing at the cash-backs?

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.)

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)

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...'

ooh Andy, I have just discovered Half Man Half Biscuit, thru a friend who plays a couple of their songs inc this one. I prefer With Goth On Our Side but I can't find the lyrics so... Paintball's Coming Home They've got the whole world in their house, they've got the whole wide world in their house, they've got the whole world in their house, to see the new conservatory They didn't choose their cat, the cat chose them, they didn't choose their cat, the cat chose them, they didn't choose their cat, the cat chose them, and what do you know, its got its own website, they made some real good friends, on Henman hill, they made some real good friends, on Henman hill, they made some good friends, on Henman hill, now they all meet up for boxercise, They buy soup in cartons, not in tins, They buy soup in cartons, not in tins, They buy soup in cartons, not in tins, And keep a torch in the back of the car, They go to one-day cricket, in fancy dress, They go to one-day cricket, in fancy dress, They go to one-day cricket, in fancy dress, and choose the pub thats got the ball pond for the kids, They treat the mercury music, prize with awe They treat the mercury music, prize with awe They treat the mercury music, prize with awe Obviously thats just jealousy on my part, They seem to think, it's a really good idea They seem to think, it's a really good idea They seem to think, it's a really good idea To hire a stretch limousine, He gets over emotional, when he's drunk, He gets all too emotional, when he's drunk, He gets over emotional, when he's drunk, And says, 'I tell you what mate, that baby changed me life', If I'd have known they were coming, I'd have slashed me wrists

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 !

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

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.

SUDDENLY I SEE - KT Tunstall Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world You can see she's a beautiful girl She's a beautiful girl And everything around her is a silver pool of light The people who surround her feel the benefit of it It makes you calm She holds you captivated in her palm Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see) This is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me ×2 And I feel like walking the world Like walking the world And you can hear she's a beautiful girl She's a beautiful girl She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember What you heard She likes to leave you hanging on a word Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see) This is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me ×2 And she's taller than most And she's looking at me I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine She makes me feel like I could be a tower A big strong tower Yeah She got the power to be The power to give The power to see Yeah Yeah ×5 Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see) This Is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see) Why The Hell it means so much to me ×2 Suddenly I see.....

Starsailor, Some of Us I heard you today That isn't my name You were fast asleep Forget what he did Can I be the kid for your soul to keep? Some of us laugh, some us cry Some of us smoke, some of us lie But it's all just a way that we cope with our lives I've grown to see The philosophy of my own mistrust We all have our faults But mine come in waves That you turn into rust Chorus I've been hanging onto something You keep laughing, awe inspiring Chorus x 2 My wondering soul found solace at last I wanted to know how long it would last She's losing control, she's coming down fast The heart that I stole, I'm not giving back Never giving back

Silver Dollar - by April Wine You won't need that drink of water, no more And you won't need that fine young stallion, no more, not any more You won't see your brown-eyed daughter, no more, not any more And you won't need that silver dollar, no more, not any more Baby baby, I believe, my time's nearly through No comforts of life, maybe maybe, this time my luck's overdue You've been pushin' for too long, mister But you won't gain, no you won't gain And now your blood boy, is gonna flow through your veins You're gonna feel the pain, you're gonna feel the pain, whoa Baby baby, I believe, my times nearly through No comforts of life, maybe maybe, this time my luck's overdue There's no sun when your life is over And my maker is about to call It seems the night is gettin' cold and lonely Still I'm feelin' no feelin' at all Any more, ooh, any more
