Nigel Happy in his work

Just heard this on the radio this morning and it brought back memories. The words "nearly fit". It was on the XTC album Dreams and Wires. Think they were a New Wave band in the early 80's. But I won't get into that argument.

We couldn't sing it but Papa might put it on the PA system!

Making Plans for Nigel – XTC
We’re only making plans for Nigel
We only want what’s best for him
We’re only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young Nigel says he’s happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
We’re only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British Steel
We’re only making plans for Nigel
Nigel’s whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he’s happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We’re only making plans for Nigel

Thanks for that. I am an old dodderer and every time I try to put up a u tube clip it fails.

 

It is a bit difficult to sing as an anthem. Maybe Papa will be pissed enough to put the lyrics up on the big screen...?

 

Checking through the thread rumours from last night, it's looks like today is the day if they are still talking. Maybe a double header of news, NG at Lesta for certain, and a new man.
