More ageing lyrics for old bastards

[jakes right boot]

Hit me with your rythm stick Ian Drury

Always thought the following song with introductory lyrics summed up the late 1970's

When johnny comes
Marching home again
Hes coming by bus or underground
A womans eye will shed a tear
To see his face so beaten in fear
An it was just around the corner in the xxxxxxx xxxxx xxx

One of my kids has the original nursery rhyme lsong/yrics to this melody and finds it amusing how my air guitar and pogoing always starts up after the first verse!

It's still at the stage of clubs and fists (ha ha, ha ha)
When that well known face got beaten to bits (ha ha, ha ha)
Your face was blue in the light of the screen
As we watched the speech of an animal scream
The new party army was marching right over our heads

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop
When I came out there was Gordon standing at the bus stop
And guess who was with him
Yeah Julie- and they were both laughing at me

Gordon is Moron (I think) by Jilted John.

 

[Trufflehound]

Gordon is Moron (I think) by Jilted John.

It's actually called "Jilted John" by Jilted John.

It's actually called "Jilted John" by Jilted John.

Yes, I just remembered, funnily enough I was going out with a girl called Julie but I jilted her.

 

[readingstockport]

And he wasn't called John.

When that well known face got beaten to bits (ha ha, ha ha)
Your face was blue in the light of the screen
As we watched the speech of an animal scream
The new party army was marching right over our heads

"Ha Ha Uh Huh I told you so............"


By the way.....

"We had a hedge back home in the suburb
Over which I never could see....."

 

[The Large One]

True, it was Graham Fallows aka John Shuttleworth

 

[readingstockport]

Didn't he also do Frank Sidebottom? Or am I confusing him with someone else.

Poupee de cellophane
cheveux chinois

Nein - keep going. Very much a one hit wonder (unusual for an 80s Euro hit, of course...)
