Off Topic Saints Not606 Music Thread

Won’t be for everyone, but loving this new one.

 

Always time for some blues

 

Excellent! Thanks, Laces. Me like!

 

Singer is a massive Saints fan too!

 

Me likes even more!

 

Musically it was Jazz FM for me!! Being here in Spain it is TRE - Talk Radio Europe which carries the World Service during the night and from 4pm for Sportsworld on a Saturday and Sunday. There is also Radio 3 for people who like alternatives styles of music and want to improve their level of Spanish as their diction is wonderful

Best on Radio 4 is "From Our Own Correspondent" and "Just a Minute". This is useful material for those learning English as are the interviews with the managers. They find they can understand the likes of Guardiola, Poch, Sarri but someone like Eddie Howe and students struggle.

 

...Just finished your sentence off

 

You are very cruel!!

 

Met Dave a few times in the pub prior to Saints matches, he is indeed a massive Saints fan and all round good chap.

 

Maybe it's the imminence of springtime, the morning moon, and the equinox approaching, but I'm feeling very hippyish this morning.

The production on their albums never did him justice btw, but Terry Ollis was one of the greatest 70s rock drummers.

 

Not only an absolute Bass legend, Hooky is also a top bloke...

Respect...

Of course the tragic Joy Division Singer, Ian Curtis was an epileptic.


Here is one from his own band in the 90s featuring his unmistakable basslines (i've posted plenty of JD songs here before)...

 

One of my favourites along with Another Nail in My Heart.

"But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet"

Poetry from Chris Difford

 

I have always been very fond of these lines from "Up The Junction"...

"She left me when my drinking,
Became proper stinking.
The devil came and took me,
From bar to street to bookie"

 

Vicky Verky from Argybargy sums up working class adolescent "love" pretty nicely..

"With her hair up in his fingers
The fish and chips smell lingers
Under amber streetlamps
She holds the law in her hands
The moistness of the damp night
Falls silent through the lamplight
Although she's only fourteen
She really knows her courting
And up the railway sidings
There's him and her
They're lying
Hand in hand they whisper
You're my missus and I'm your mister
The moon as white and virgin
And she was on the turning
Remember your first nibble
When best friends were so little
They really trooped the colors
When walking with each other
And all her mates would giggle
As ladylike she'd wiggle
All along the high street
They'd splash out on an ice cream
He'd sometimes really treat her
When he'd done his mother's meter
Well he went off to borstal
He said that he was forced to
Rob the flats of hi fi's
'cause she was ill
And she would cry
Each morning she got sicker
Her mother sometimes hit her
If she'd have known the story
She would have been so sorry
He received a letter and admitted it
There was nothing else to do but get rid of it
Lonely in his dormitory
He'd sit and stare
If this is for real
And is it really fair
Summer came so they went
Down to the coast in his tent
She cooked upon his primus
And sampled local cider
She told him in his rucksack
I think i want that chance back
To be perhaps the one who
Will forever love you"

 

I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash,
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash...

 

"I kiss her for the first time
And then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee
And I give the dog a bone"

Describes my Saturday nights at the Top Rank right there!...

 

Take it away JJ and Eric spine tingling stuff

 

Not sure that quite has the depth and poetical genius of this, to sum up adolescent love:

“In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind, a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be mine
In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk together hand in hand
I'm dreaming
You fell in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true”
