Oh dear, we see it now, don't we? It really was the end. That last quick gasp to ensure SG and Malad didn't completely define the end of the solo era.
I remember Mr Shandy and I being as happy as we ever were at the MEN homecoming that evening.
Cyril from Eccles had thrown us handfuls of...
Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep--
He hath awakened from the dream of life--
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings.--We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief...
CS was designed by a child. So was LIH. BOT was (would have been) dire and one can only imagine what will grace WMTWD. We can have fun guessing, however!
We think it will be a badly photo-shopped image of Andy Warhol filming himself pissing through the letter box of a branch of 'Our Price'...
Unreleased 'B' side: 'The Price of Custard Disgusts Me' (lyrics)
You think it's easy
Now it comes in tins
And you're oh so clever with your tetra-packs
And you're oh so clever with your tetra-packs
Yes, I've seen it in individual portions
Why would I need more than one?
Birds or Ambrosia, none...
Age. Old. It's simply about getting old. It's what happens. You get old. You get less patient. People annoy you because you're old and it's what happens. Tired? Physically, sometimes, but there's a tiredness of the spirit that descends and it's difficult to shake off - mainly because you're old...
For the love of God....there's a problem here.
To begin with, we can (just about) see the possible scenario of an establishment label caving-in to a wokish agenda after the fact. By which we mean, the possibility of Capitol ditching BOT based on their fear of some future backlash and choosing...
Fred Trueman's son. Can you imagine Fred pounding up to Raquel's wickets before she smashed him for six over a long boundary? Eh? It don't bear thinking about. We met Geoffrey Boycott once: he was a twat.
Many, many years ago she spent an afternoon signing copies of her autobiography at a book shop in Manchester, may even have been WH Smiths in the Arndale.
Anyway, it was during that time when she spent quite a bit of time in the UK on account of her daughter's marriage to the Yorkshire fast...
Lovely man, Billy, a charming package of lust and bewilderment who appears to have turned his wife either gay or into the arms of Kenny Everett depending on how you read the tea leaves.
ANYWAY, enough of that - we (Sullivan and myself, Bonaparte) wish to thank you all for declaring us to be...
'Cognitive dissonance' what a silly little twinkle he is. He should have been with us behind Tibb Street in the 1980s with the two matelots from Greece who'd skipped ship in Manchester and were trying their hands as the 'Adonis from Athens' (they were never quite sure about the plural form) -...
Ah 'Swords' - we had a Guinness there once.
The album was good.
The last of that long line of portmanteau collections begun SO honourably with HFOH.
We will never see their likes again, I'm afraid.
As we never tire, UTTERLY TIRE, of pointing out, there is no reason at all for the tracks on BOT to never see the light of day.
The notion of a 'lost' album shelved because of problematic lyrics in ONE song fits a long-running narrative of duplicitous record companies, 'Guardian' reading...
Oui! Le jeune Sam est ce que nous appelons un «retard» en Angleterre et possède des compétences de Photoshop de très bas niveau. Comme vous pouvez le voir, pas saisi les principes de base de la perspective ou de la profondeur (ou de l'angle, d'ailleurs).
