“I Love You Because (You Look Like Jim Reeves)”

My girlfriend looks like Peggy Mount
What am I supposed to do?
I’m up the creek and never mind the paddle boy
I haven’t even got a canoe

I sold my soul to an Arctic Roll
I went to hell on a red Ski-doo
I did the Shake’n’Vac and broke my fucking […]

“Swerving the Checkatrade”
Yeah, Swerving the Checkatrade
Swerving the Checkatrade
So we may get to bill and coo
I’ve weighed up all the pros and cons
Of watching under-21s
Swerving the Checkatrade with you
Oh let me gaze upon your curves
Instead of Ipswich Town reserves
Swerving the Checkatrade […]

“Twenty Four Hour Garage People”
I fancy I’ll open a stationer’s
Stock quaint notepads for weekend pagans
While you were out at The Rollright Stones
I came and set fire to your shed
‘Cos you probably work at an all-night garage
You probably work at an all-night garage
You probably work at an […]

“Keeping Two Chevrons Apart”
Well I’m not really worried about this
But could someone please answer me this:
Apart from on commentary
Where else on earth
Can you hear the word ‘aplomb’ being used?

I’m filling up at Rothersthorpe North
Good Girl has broken my heart
She took off with a youth
From […]

“Albert Hammond bootleg”
Talking to a girl on the south coast of France
She was on an 18-30 but I still took a chance
But on the last night ‘neath the stars of Marseilles
She said that Robin Askwith was funny

Oh god how I longed for a dangerous wave
So I could surf myself towards an early grave […]

“Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo”

If you’re going to quote from the Book of Revelation
Don’t keep calling it the Book of Revelations
There’s no “s”, it’s the Book of Revelation
As revealed to St John the Divine
See also Mary Hopkin
She must despair

You’ve got a shit arm, and that’s a bad tattoo

“The referee’s alphabet”

K is for the kissing of the badge
How ridiculous that looks 6 months later when they’re at another club

CORGI Registered Friends

In the kingdom of the blind
It’s said the one-eyed man is king
And in the kingdom of the bland
It’s nine o’clock on ITV
I believe I’ve seen holograms
With more substance than you
Automatic doors don’t open for you

“Upon Westminster Bridge”
If Jesus came to Earth today
They’d crucify him straight away
Upon a cross of MDF
And they’d use No Need For Nails

Ship-shape farmhouse
Dry stone wall chart
Cash-back foot spa
Straight down Ladbrokes
Low cost school trip
Ramraid Oxfam
“Christ that sun’s hot”
Yes that’s […]

“Sensitive Outsider”
Faked my way through Glastonbury
By acting all asexually
And then in the acoustic tent
She stood there as if heaven sent
Well if that’s not Enya
That’s not Enya
That’s not Enya
That’s not Enya
I’m a sensitive outsider
I’m a sensitive outsider
I’m a sensitive outsider
And I […]

“Horror Clowns Are Dickheads”

Horror Clowns are dickheads
You know it’s true
And if you’ve got a phobia of them
You’re a dickhead too
Don’t go worrying and don’t be wary
They have never been remotely scary
Hardly M.R. James
Hardly Edgar Allan Poe
Get a decent mob together
They don’t wanna know […]

“Slipping The Escort”
The surgery leaflets
Offer advice
But there’s no preparation
For losing him twice
And now he’s washed and dressed and ready
To keep him safe she’ll face the hurt
And if she could hold that needle steady
She could sew his name into his shirt
Apart, adrift, alone
Afraid of […]

And if eight out of ten cats all prefer Whiskas
Do the other two prefer Lesley Judd?

“Fuckin’ ‘ell it’s Fred Titmus”

Oh Jane was pushing baby round the park
When all at once she saw her husband Mark
Well he was with a man down by the stream
So Jane and baby both began to scream
“Fuckin’ ‘Ell, It’s Fred Titmus!”
….
Oh Dracula comes from […]

“Surging out of convalescence”
Is your child hyperactive, or is he perhaps a twat?
Sometimes I like to watch wave rage down on Fistral Beach
Last Ash Wednesday I had tantric sex and it was shit
Next Ash Wednesday I might strive to lick my elbow
Strive in vain
For they say
Few succeed

“The Ballad of Climie Fisher”
Now here comes a story that’s never been told
About the turbulent demise of Climie Fisher
They had their success and they went separate ways
Fisher went to work as a researcher for the BBC Education Department; rented a flat in Norbury, South London.
Climie moved […]

“Oblong of dreams”
Escape from Telepudlian Paul
Around about now regaling all
With his ‘Did you see the match?’
And his flat back four
He’s a Super Sunday super bore
Escape up onto Caldy Hill
The spirit of Olaf, and if you will
Stand still, wait, sudden breeze
Clouds part, showtime
And now I’m […]

“D’ye ken Ted Moult”
Our Ted, it has to be said
Produces proof beyond us
Rain, shine or gale force nine
His frames remain intact
Helicopters in my garden
Bringing wind (I beg your pardon)
Double glazing is amazing
Don't you all agree?
No fears, they'll last you for years
Our statistics prove it […]

“Trumpton Riots”
Unemployment’s rising in the Chigley end of town
And it’s spreading like pneumonia
Doesn’t look like going down
There’s trouble at the fire station someone’s had the sack
And the lads are going to launch a scheme get rid of Captain Flack
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate […]

Spare me from the drunken heathen
Gumless bores in superdry
Most unclean and most unwelcome
Like a field of blighted rye
Where were you?
Where were you in mid July?
Though they boost the congregation
Joy turns swiftly into pain
Arms aloft, their fingers pointing
Haunting me with their refrain […]
