    I think I can vouch for all on this board that at some point in our lifes after one too many we have stood on the table and sang at the top of our voice Fück Off Noddy with considerable gusto.


    I know I have.

    Ah then remember this is one of my fav songs


    The Dirty Jobs ....



    I am man who drives a local bus
    I take miners to work, but the pits all closed today.

    It's easy to see that you are one of us.
    Ain't it funny how we all seem to look the same?

    We're getting put down
    I'm being beaten every day.
    My life's fading,
    But things are changing,
    I'm not gonna sit and weep again


    My karma tells me
    You've been screwed again.
    If you let them do it to you
    You've got yourself to blame.



    It's you who feels the pain
    It's you that feels ashamed.


    I am a young man
    I ain't done very much,

    You men should remember how you used to fight.
    Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams,

    I'm all mixed up but I know what's right.

    We're getting put down
    I'm being beaten every day.
    My life's fading,
    But things are changing


    I'm not gonna sit and weep again

    Some nights I still sleep on the beach.
    Remember when stars were in reach.
    Then I wander in early to work,
    Spend the day licking boots for my perks.


    People often change
    But when I look in your eyes,
    You could learn a lot from
    A job like mine.
    The secret to me
    Isn't flown like a flag
    I carry it behind
    This little badge
    What says...

    CONTRACTOR !!!!

    By pounding stages like a clown.

    And on the dance floor broken glass,
    The bloody faces slowly pass,
    The broken seats in empty rows,

    It all belongs to me you know.

    a classic, a fantastic song on so many different levels.

    And this one ?


    I don't care about pollution ...

    I'm an air-conditioned gypsy

    That's my solution

    Watch the police and the taxman miss me

    No, but one of my slugs sang it to me last night.

    Or maybe it was the vodka?
