Guest Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Dont Forget the immortal line (repeated two or three times) in Crazy Things by Joe Douglas as our man sings 'TOSS OFF AND SHOUT AS LOUD AS I CAN'. Definitely strikes a chord that one, reminding me of the old joke about the difference between and egg and a w***......... You cant beat a w*** of course. Nuff said.
SteveM Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 i've always sung (when singing along)...'that's when you came along...but what you thought was wrong'?? again, wouldn't put house on it link Dan, If you are trying to sound like a northerner, its t' in front of 'house'. Sithee.

Simsy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) ah... doh! seems to be the only available response link Have you listened to said track recently? I know she says "that's what I thought was wrong" or sim, but could so easily be "what the fek was wrong" Track 20th or so down, in left column Link removed as site well dodge and we'll have the soul police after us. Edited August 19, 2005 by Ian Sims
Simon T Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Yep, "take a hand in a lonely land, lo-one-lee land". link "take a hand in a lonely BARE, and lonely land".
Guest Dan Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 "take a hand in a lonely BARE, and lonely land". link good shout simon, got me thinking could be 'in a lonely...yeah...a lonely land' actually i think this was what the consensus was before from memory, not that the consensus was necessarily right or maybe 'in a lonely barren, lonely land'?
Simon T Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Can anyone fill in the 'DA's here from Overdose of Joy? 'And around his neck He wears a DA DA piece of jewellery.' ?? Been driving me crackers for ages. link I'm pretty sure it's 'complete' i.e. a chain that not been broken as it might get, if someone tried to pull it off him during a robbery
Guest Dan Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Thats what comes through my speakers Dan. Usually with another voice telling me to kill my neighbours link have you ever played garland green 'mr misery' backwards? very interesting!

Simsy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Posted August 19, 2005 "take a hand in a lonely BARE, and lonely land". link Thems some pretty negative lyrics. Am I absolutely sure I like this record? Should go and have a listen; and advise. A one out of ten poll, maybe?

Simsy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Posted August 19, 2005 There are so many songs that have words that aren't clear. Songs that have in part, been glossed over when sung along to. Just wish I could remember more of them ... Plenty of (funny) misinterpretations as well

Guest mattmale Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Vondells - Hey Girl You've Changed Can't figure this out at all. Some of the chorus is just about understandable and a bit about 'she wears bell bottom pants' I'd like to see the lyrics if anyone has them. Most problems with lyrics are due to crap production imo.

Simsy Posted August 26, 2005 Author Posted August 26, 2005 Was listening to the fabulous Mello Souls on the way home last night, but big chunks of the song (we can make it) are indecipherable. I wonder if the LSD (Lyrical Soul Doctor) Simon knows the meaning of the words to this £10k+ sound?

Can't find them now, sorry.
Guest Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 What about the Deltours, Sweet and Lovely? There is a line in there that goes:- 'Livin' my life in underpants, I never thought it would be the same' Sorry don't have a link but believe me, it really does say that!

Simon T Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Is that Simon Tweedie? No, he was taken off to the nut-house a few years back to live his life in underpants - went around claiming to have written all the Northern classics and to prove it had a big book off lyrics written in crayon!! Think you had better listen to it again hun! Deffo, 'livin my life in underpants'! Shifty will vouch for it. Used to drive him bonkers singing it! (wish I was clever enough to attach a sound file!) Try in the sounds section, about the second page from the end https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.p...cmd=si&img=3459 Trust you and the little one are OK?

Simsy Posted August 29, 2005 Author Posted August 29, 2005 That Garfield Flemming's a bit sexist. I was listening to his 'Don't send me away' track at a garden party this afternoon, and he clearly says "do my flies up, get my beer"! I wouldn't stand for that if I was a chick how very dare you!
