They dont talk to each other anymore

Life is a minestrone
Served up in Parmesan cheese
Life is a cold lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze

No I don't get it either.

I would say Kevin Godley comes across as distinctly anti-American. Rubber Bullets was supposed to be a sarcastic pastiche of the 50s teen hit songs. Unfortunately the joke was lost on most, and there were just seen as shite.

Certainly lost on me, Godley may well come across as anti-American today, seems plenty are? but in 1972/3 it may well have been a different story to some young Mancunians?

Admit it it's only their love of cricket that makes you think they were good


I
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it

'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

And just to think, the first CD I brought was Greatest Hits 1972-1978, which I still play from time to time.

Sometime I just like to listen to something for fun, and pure daffiness.
